Michelle offers professional consultation to mental health professionals, healers, and individuals interested in learning more about holistic practices and feminine forms of healing. Additionally, Michelle is available for personal tutoring for individuals wanting to learn Reiki or Tarot.
The High Priestess, The Empress, Strength, and The Star card…there are many cards in the Tarot deck that highlight the power of the feminine. Yet, we often overlook the healing powers of the feminine in our society in favor of more masculine Westernized standards of healing. These standards often ignore or pathologize women's and non-binary individuals' experiences, leading to further shame and stigma. However, by understanding the power of the feminine in Tarot we can reclaim the divine feminine aspects within ourselves to own our divinity and help others do the same.
Workshop Overview: Designed for Tarot Readers, healers, and anyone who has felt subjected as a woman or non-binary individual in a hyper-masculine world, this workshop is designed to heal individuals and reclaim their sacred power through embracing the feminine. Exploration of the feminine archetypes will be discussed in the Tarot as their healing properties. In addition, participants will also identify their own female archetype in the Tarot (regardless of their gender) and how it can be used as a tool for self-reflection. Implications for spreads/self-reflective exercise will be discussed and active participation is required. This workshop is open to all genders, regardless of how one identifies, and will discuss ways to integrate the divine masculine and feminine aspects within oneself.

The Hermit is a perfect card that represents the archetype of a therapist. This mysterious figure leads the Fool into their inner world (or the unconscious) through their journey to enlightenment (or Actualization) helping him reconcile their shadows and break barriers. This is not unlike what we do as therapists in our psychotherapy offices. Thus, Tarot is a perfect vehicle to replicate the therapy process and can be used in creative ways to help clients access their own intuitive wisdom.
Workshop Overview: Designed specifically for therapists (Counselors, Social workers, Psychologists, etc.) and other mental health professionals, this workshop provides a detailed overview of how a therapist can integrate the power of the magical 78 cards into a session. The use of specific spreads to use with clients will be discussed, as well as ways to integrate Tarot into pre-existing counseling theories (Person-Centered, Gestalt, and Jungian). This training is informed by the presenter’s extensive research and years of experience on this topic and includes direct case study examples from her psychotherapy practice. Documentation implications will also be discussed.
