About Michelle

I didn’t always do this work. As a Pilates instructor, I guide many people to move, to breathe, to feel better, and I noticed something fascinating.. the biggest changes weren’t just physical. When people felt better, their confidence grew and they started making choices that supported them in ways they never had before.. and I experienced the same transformation in my own life.

That curiosity led me to explore the mind–body connection in a whole new way, studying how the brain really works. I went on to train with The Clifton Practice; widely recognised as the UK’s gold standard in clinical hypnotherapy, earning both my Level 4 Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and my Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD).

Once I understood how my brain actually worked, the anxiety that had shadowed me for years began to fade; not through sheer motivation or mindset, but through real understanding and subconscious rewiring, using specific, repeatable processes that I use with my clients today.

Why Work With Michelle?

I understand how it feels to want more for yourself but not know exactly where to start.
Living with both anxiety and a spinal condition meant rethinking almost every part of my life.. how I worked, how I moved, and how I looked after myself. I wanted change, but I wasn’t sure how to get there.

Through small, deliberate steps, I learned to retrain my mind, manage my pain, lose 30kg, and upgrade my confidence to a level that felt steady and real, all while navigating the changes and challenges of menopause. That personal journey is at the core of my commitment to helping others transform their lives, even when it feels out of reach.

Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and create tangible changes that take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Whatever is holding you back – stress, anxiety, fears, unhelpful habits that no longer serve you, it doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

Because maybe, just maybe, you’re closer to that change than you think..

Client Review

“ My experience of hypnotherapy was nothing less than amazing 🤩
I love the way I am taken on an amazing journey and have experienced relaxation like never before.
Michelle has a delicate and caring nature, she is warm and empathetic and I just love being in her company.
She has made me aware of the importance of positive and negative emotions and energy and how that plays a huge part in life.
Since my sessions with Michelle I am sleeping so much better than before and starting each day with a much more positive attitude.
I feel so much better in myself with Michelle’s guidance in finally learning to put myself first and let go of negative energy.
Thinking of three good things that happen every day however small is so rewarding.
Michelle is amazing and very talented.. ”
