About Michele

My working career spans over 20 years in legal administration and two decades in bodywork (massage therapy, yoga, meditation, and reiki). I’m also a celebrant providing ritual support through meaningful ceremonies and creations, healing community workshops, and legacy projects.

I’m a proud sponsor of the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market.

With gratitude, I reside on the ancestral homelands and unceded territories of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples of Southern Oregon.

All are welcome.

My Process

Ease and flow.

I’m doing things differently nowadays.

I’ve gathered everything I have to offer in one place; there’s no need to jump between online menus or sites, and it’s easier for mobile.

The contact form is in the middle of this very page, where you can access it easily by simply scrolling. You can schedule a phone call or massage or request a brochure, depending on your interest.

With that being said, if it’s best for you to simply give me a call (or text) or send me an email, that works, too. I’m at 541.480.0105.

I look forward to being human with you.

The Hermitage

Solo Creativity
or Writing Retreat
for Women

Private Residence
Ashland, Oregon

A personal retreat for the solo woman needing time away from it all to dive deeply into her creativity. A safe, quiet place located in beautiful Southern Oregon to write, explore, and drop in with no outside distractions. A soft place to land, to rest, find inspiration, be in nature, and recharge. Located among the trees at the base of the mountains and near a crystal clear, vibrant, flowing creek, and yet a short walk from Downtown Ashland if the need for the noises of town arises.

If you’ve been inkling to start writing “that damn book” or are wanting to rediscover your creativity — and your interest is piqued, click below for more info.
