Michelle has enjoyed a love for movement and learning starting early in her life as an athlete and swim teacher for both children and adults. Michelle began studying with Anat Baniel just 2 years after earning her BS in Physical Therapy with a psychology minor in 1994.  She applied Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® in hospital rehabilitation settings and a Neurochiropractic clinic for 20 years before working full time as an ABMNM® Center Practitioner and Assistant Trainer starting in 2015.

Working with Anat and her Team of Practitioners continues to inspire Michelle’s interest to learn and teach empowering mobility for children and adults with any challenge, artists, athletes and students in ABMNM® Trainings.

Michelle taught Transformational Movement Lessons® in Wisconsin for 17 years and led workshops for parents, teachers, health professionals, patient support groups, horse riding clubs, folk music festivals, and herbal conferences.  Ever since navigating the constraints of the covid pandemic, Michelle has been offering Online at Home Coaching to parents, caregivers, teachers and coaches and witnessing the transformative power of Anat’s 9 Essentials by applying them into people’s daily lives.
