Finally feel in control of your body, health, emotions, and entire life

Even if you’ve already tried what seems like all the diets, therapy & treatments

You want more than just managing symptoms.

You’re ready for life-changing transformation so you can flourish in the life you know were always meant for.

High-level private 1:1 mentoring container for the woman who knows she's ready for empowering emotional healing that will take her from just surviving to fully thriving, with not only her symptoms & health, but entire life.

The Empowered You Intensive is a powerful life-changing incubator for the woman who's tried all the diets & supplements, treatments & therapy to try to overcome mystery symptoms, anxiety, or chronic illness like autoimmune and endometriosis. She knows stress & unhealed emotions are getting in the way of living her best life...the way she knows she's truly meant to: thriving & Empowered.

She's ready to achieve next-level emotional healing so she can not only finally get control over her health & symptoms, but blossom into her true & authentic self, and experience happiness, fulfillment, purpose, joy, and peace like never before.

Chances are if you're reading this, you've been searching for solutions for a while now...

You’ve been struggling with fatigue, bloating, pain, and stubborn weight that has either plateaued or just won’t budge or improve for anything, no matter how strict your diet is and no matter how many treatments or therapies you try.

Your digestion is off but you can’t get a sense as to what’s causing the problem. You’ve tried eliminating foods, and the results are so unclear. Sometimes a food is fine, but other times you bloat, or have troubles with diarrhea and/or constipation. And sometimes it triggers pain, headaches, cramps, or stiffness.

You’ve likely tried what seems like #allthediets, including gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, Autoimmune Paleo (AIP), Low-Carb, Keto, all the way to meat-only Carnivore.

For those who’ve gone Carnivore, maybe you’ve had some good results, but you’re feeling limited in your choices and you’re ready to reintroduce variety back into your diet again. 

But you’re so reactive to foods, it feels next to impossible to see how you can ever enjoy a diverse diet again. 

Or you’re afraid to put foods back in your diet again, because your tendency for stress-eating or emotional eating will send you down that dangerous slippery slope right back to where you were before.

And if you’re dealing with a chronic illness like endometriosis or an autoimmune disease, then you might feel like you have no control over your body, which has left you feeling defeated and hopeless. If you feel like I did, you likely feel exhausted, confused, frustrated, and so much older than you really are.

You don’t understand why you’re so exhausted. No amount of rest can shake this heavy cloak of fatigue that drapes over your life all day, while leaving you so tired you’re wired and staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night when you should be getting restful sleep.

You feel stressed, overwhelmed & irritable, and no matter how many bubble baths or yoga classes you attend, you just can’t seem to get control of your stress.

Other people’s moods, expectations, and criticisms affect you and how you feel, which just makes your stress levels and exhaustion a million times worse.

You have a hamster wheel of thoughts, worries, to-do’s and “what-ifs” whirring through your mind and no matter what you do, you just can’t turn it off.

When you don’t feel well, when nothing you try works, when you’re feeling hopeless and confused, that brain chatter just gets worse, to the point where sometimes you feel like you’re drowning in your thoughts.

You know you’re not meant to struggle like this. You have plans, goals, and visions for your life, and you want your body to catch up so you can accomplish them, and not just get through life, but love it.

You’re getting a sense after trying everything that your emotions, stress levels, past trauma, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself are keeping you from getting the results you really desire.

The thing is, diet’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Don’t get me wrong, if you eat nothing but junk food, your body isn’t going to function very well.
Diet DOES play an important role.

But if you’ve whittled your diet down to a very limited window, you’re eating “clean”, and you’re following a dietary protocol to a “T” and still not getting anywhere, then you’re missing some very important puzzle pieces

What’s missing is getting to the root of WHY.

You see, while dietary changes are helpful, if you don’t look deeper to the cause of the issue, you’re just managing symptoms. 

When you just manage symptoms, you have to constantly commit to the restrictions, otherwise, the symptoms just come back. If you’ve been on the yoyo diet train, you know what I’m talking about

If any of that resonates with you, no matter how bleak or frustrating it may feel, I want to reassure you that it is possible to:

If you’ve tried all the diets, supplements, medications, and therapy to get control over your health and symptoms — but you know deep down the solution resides within yourself, if you could just figure out how to tap into it — then the Empowered You 8 month Intensive is for you

Does any of this sound familiar?

I commonly hear from new clients they’ve had to get increasingly strict with food, often all the way to meat-only Carnivore, in order to manage fatigue, digestive troubles, pain, anxiety, and those mystery symptoms from chronic conditions like autoimmune.

While diet is important, it’s only one layer.

Going a layer deeper is the state of your nervous system. It’s a bridge that, if imbalanced, will affect every physical system in your body, from immune & digestive function to hormones & inflammation.

Nervous system regulation is the next step that starts delivering better results.

But there’s layers deeper, including your inner emotional terrain & relationship with yourself.

These are vital roots that affect nervous system function, which, over time, impact physical health.

That’s why diet alone doesn’t always cut it, especially for chronic conditions.

Healing these roots enables everything to come together & stay that way — so you’re not always playing cat-&-mouse just to keep symptoms managed.

But talk therapy or stress management exercises has only taken these women so far. There’s many layers deeper.

I guide my clients back home to themselves to heal not only their nervous system, but also their inner emotional terrain, relationship with themselves, and so much more.

When they do, they not only experience boundless energy, better sleep & digestion and resolved pain, but discover joy & fulfillment with every aspect of life, from relationships to career & everything in between.

They feel a sense of calm confidence they’d never before experienced & finally feel in control of not only their health but entire lives, so they fully flourish. This is next-level healing beyond what diet delivers.

I’ve helped many women who’ve struggled to feel better despite trying countless therapeutic diets like AIP, Keto & especially Carnivore. They’ve suffered with fatigue, pain, digestive troubles, autoimmune symptoms, endometriosis & all the associated symptoms, anxiety, and stress.

Diet helped to a degree. It especially helped them see they have some control over their bodies & health.

But they also knew they needed something more. They realized stress and unresolved emotions or trauma were getting in the way of finding the wellness freedom they were seeking.

Once we work together, every single client tells me they see now how much deeper than diet it goes, and this realization changes their lives.

They also come to realize it’s not about the external stress going on outside of us — because that’s always going to be there. It’s not about hiding away to avoid stressful events. A little stress here & there is actually motivating & helpful.

The problem is when stress on the nervous system is constant. The nervous system isn’t set up to deal with ongoing pressure. It’s meant to deal with a stressful event then return to baseline.

When the nervous system becomes dysregulated due to constant pressure, then all other systems in the body become affected, from your digestive and immune systems, to your hormones, metabolism, and so much more.

When it comes to chronic stress — the biggest culprit? The pressure we put on ourselves. Because it’s ongoing.

I call this the inner emotional terrain or internal emotional landscape.

This inner pressure we put on ourselves likely started long ago during your developmental years — and it all came down to survival — a need to feel safe, secure, loved, accepted, that you belong.

It set the stage for what you believe about yourself & the world, and is the foundation of your relationship with you — which is the root of EVERYTHING.

Now, it got you here now, so it’s important to pat yourself on the back for surviving. But it’s likely not serving you now.

You can absolutely change this — I’ve done it myself & guide my clients on how to do this, and it’s life-changing & transformative in every way.

That’s why diet alone doesn’t always cut it, especially for chronic conditions.

Nervous system regulation is the next step that starts delivering better results.

But there’s layers deeper, including your inner emotional terrain & relationship with yourself.

These are vital roots that affect nervous system function, which, over time, impact physical health.

Healing these roots enables everything to come together & stay that way — so you’re not always playing cat-&-mouse just to keep symptoms managed.

I guide my clients back home to themselves to heal not only their nervous system, but also their inner emotional terrain, relationship with themselves, and so much more.

When they do, they not only experience boundless energy, better sleep & digestion and resolved pain, but discover joy & fulfillment with every aspect of life, from relationships to career & everything in between.

They feel a sense of calm confidence they’d never before experienced & finally feel in control of not only their health but entire lives, so they fully flourish. This is next-level healing beyond what diet delivers.

What is this inner emotional landscape, anyhow?

Here’s some examples:

– It’s common for us to put pressure on ourselves to perform & succeed, so we can either feel accomplished, receive praise, prove ourselves to ourselves or others, or feel we’re worthy in some way

– We can often criticize ourselves to try to do better so we can be accepted or avoid rejection by others.

– We often push ourselves past our limits in order to find a feeling of accomplishment, or avoid our own needs & limits in order for others to accept us. 

– We can sometimes ignore our own needs or limits in order to keep others around us happy or avoid conflict

– We might do things or stay in situations we don’t enjoy or don’t want to do out of a feeling of obligation or expectation, even if inside we have a sense it’s not aligned or best for us. We keep soldiering on, every day developing more frustration and even resentment.

It all comes down to survival: we need to feel safe, secure, loved & accepted.

In our developmental years, if we didn’t experience these core things for whatever reason, we developed ways of being, acting, and responding to try to affect our external environment so that we could get those core needs met and avoid rejection.

But those ways of being — while they got us through — over time, no longer serve us. And often, it’s these ways of thinking that cause all that constant internal stress.

Over time, that internal stress causes the nervous system to dysregulate — it’s not meant to have all that pressure constantly.

That’s when physical symptoms appear.

Some examples include: fatigue, pain, bloating, other digestive troubles, skin flares, inflammation, getting sick all the time, headaches, triggering of autoimmune, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, POTs, dysautonomia, and so much more.

Especially when you’ve tried what seems like everything including all the diets and treatments & you’re still struggling with symptoms.

When you start regulating your nervous system, and then go deeper, to address and heal the very things that contributed to nervous system imbalance, health starts turning around, even if you had previously tried every diet, treatment, or therapy.

Healing your relationship with yourself, your emotional responses, and the way you see and show up in the world changes everything.

You step out of just surviving in life, and walk into a level of thriving that allows you to blossom into your true self and life you’re meant to live, with passion, joy, and purpose. This is next-level healing, beyond what any diet or natural supplement can deliver, and it’s beautiful.

When you go through this process to transform your nervous system, your relationship with & perception of yourself, your emotional intelligence, and your whole blueprint of how you want your life to unfold…your way, your health and symptoms become not only better managed, but more often than not, resolve completely.

Energy, digestion, and sleep improve, pain reduces or resolves completely, weight naturally regulates, relationships heal, careers become more fulfilling, and everything comes together in magnificent ways.

This is what happens when you become Empowered.

This is where the Empowered You 6-month Intensive can take you.

But stress management techniques like bubble baths & yoga poses, while relaxing, are just scratching the surface of what you can do to really conquer stress & emotions…

These activities are just managing symptoms of stress, rather than getting to the root of how you think about and respond to stress and how your nervous system deals with stressful feelings. 

When you uncover the roots of why you respond to life challenges the way you do, you can then TRANSFORM it into something so much better.

I work with women who’ve tried #allthediets and are still struggling with energy, bloating, weight, sleep, pain, digestion, and more.

Once we do the work to calm and soothe anxiety & irritability, train the nervous system to relax, create positive new life perspectives, troubleshoot & transform negative thoughts, and create a roadmap for a happy, fulfilling life, everything changes.

When you change your stress response, your body has a chance to recalibrate itself. 

As a result, energy, sleep, and digestion improve. Pain eases, and weight releases naturally.

Finally feel in control of your body, health, and entire life

Even if you’ve already tried what seems like all the diets & treatments

The Empowered You 6-month intensive is a life-changing transformational package where you'll discover what freedom really feels like.

Often, when we’ve been struck down with mystery symptoms, anxiety, or chronic illness like autoimmune or endometriosis, we believe if we can find just the right medication, supplement, or diet, we’ll be fine.

We may go from one medical doctor to another, trying to find just the right treatment that will help, or from functional medicine or naturopathic doctor to another, hoping if they can find just the right lab test, supplement protocol, or therapeutic diet, they can turn this around.

For many I work with, they’ll find some relief and improvement, but will quickly plateau and may even find their symptoms eventually worsen again. Others may not find much if any improvement at all.

And for others, they’ve already come to realize that stress, emotions, and unhealed trauma trigger their symptoms and have realized these lingering issues are a missing piece of their puzzle that need to be healed.

However, therapists and counsellors have only been partly helpful. They feel therapy, while providing some insight, doesn’t offer the level of depth that will move the needle in the way they want, or they don’t feel they receive the solutions that would create the profound shift they’re looking for.

This cycle of external seeking for just the right solution, answer, or treatment leaves us feeling continuously disappointed, frustrated, and increasingly hopeless.

When all of this happens, we feel we have no control over our symptoms or our health, the impacts of which spill over to every other aspect of life, including relationships, career, and everything in between.

What’s ignored in this scenario is a very important root that is affecting all of the above: your social conditioning.

Beliefs, emotions, and behaviours picked up during developmental years can leave us not trusting ourselves or the answers that are best for us, our health, bodies, and whole lives. 

And when we’re not aware that this conditioning is running the show, we don’t feel like we have control. It creates a vicious cycle that worsens everything.

The true missing piece of the puzzle in this scenario is to identify and release the underlying conditioning that’s keeping you stuck  through Social Unconditioning.

Once you’ve shed what’s holding you back, you can then experience real healing, by discovering your Inner Healer within.

It’s a life-changing paradigm shift that involves healing the most important relationship in the world: with yourself.

When you do, everything changes.

Your body has the opportunity to heal. Relationships with everyone around you improve. Careers become more fulfilling, raises and promotions are had, and opportunities seem to magically drop into your lap.

You trust yourself and realize you have the power within you to feel in control of it all. When you realize this, true transformation takes place.

It’s life-changing.

You step out of just surviving, and into full blossoming mode. Your soul sings and your light shines. You feel empowered and truly liberated in every way.

This is what becoming Empowered is all about.

The Empowered You 6-month intensive

This is a life-changing opportunity for women with an autoimmune condition, endometriosis, or mystery symptoms of chronic illness who have tried all the diets, including AIP, Keto or Carnivore to get control over their symptoms, and they’re still not seeing the results they’d expected. They’ve gotten a sense that what they need to get next-level results lies in healing stress and unresolved emotions or trauma, and they’re done trying to figure it all out on their own.

They’ve often tried talk therapy or counsellors to get a hold over stress and emotions, but have found just talking about their problems has not gotten them anywhere but feeling worse about themselves and their situation, or that it hasn’t really helped them progress with any real solutions. That’s because there’s so much more to consider.

The Empowered You 8-month intensive is a transformational process that not only helps you to calm & regulate your nervous system so you can quickly get control over symptoms like fatigue, pain, and digestive troubles, but you heal the things that caused your nervous system to become out of balance to start with, especially your inner emotional terrain and relationship with yourself.

Clients who join me in this 8-month journey not only experience more energy, better sleep and digestion, and less or completely resolved pain, often within weeks and even days, but as they progress through the program, they develop a sense of calm confidence and joy that improves every aspect of their life, from relationships to career, and everything in between.

During your time with me, you learn how to connect to your inner knowing, so you trust yourself to know which choices are best for you and which aren’t, including dietary and food choices.

Speaking about food, clients who’ve gone through this process regularly find tolerance to foods improves, and a gradual step-by-step reintroduction is possible, which I guide you through every step of the way, with a large collection of recipes and menu planning ideas.

This journey also teaches you how to protect your energy, so that you can build up your reserves, and prevent those energy leaks and protect yourself from energy vampires that leave you feeling exhausted.

You start to understand and embrace your uniqueness, especially if you’ve identified with features like highly sensitive person (HSP) or empath. As you get to know yourself, you finally understand that these features are talents to be embraced, not weaknesses or things that need to be fixed, and you learn how to harness these gifts so that you step into your strength and a level of personal power you never before thought possible.

You move past “just getting by” in survival mode, connect to your true self and desires with a sense of joy and fulfillment that skyrockets you into full flourishing mode — so that you feel happy with and in control of not just your health, but your entire life.

You step into the life you were always meant for, with passion and purpose, and a level of fulfillment you have likely never before experienced.

If you’re reading this, you likely have goals, visions and desires to do great things, but your health has been holding you back. For the women who go through this healing journey, they finally break the barriers — both physical and emotional — that were keeping them stuck so they can be what they always knew they wanted to be.

This unique process goes many layers deeper than what dietary changes can deliver, by not just supporting and regulating the nervous system — the bridge that affects every single system in your body from immune function to inflammation — but by healing the vital roots that caused the nervous system to become out of balance in the first place.

It’s an empowering, personalized process that leaves you feeling in charge of yourself, your health, and your life in a way you’d never thought possible — not just during the 6 months we work together, but for the rest of your life.

If interested, fill out the application form by clicking on the button below. After I assess your application, I’ll email you back. If you qualified, I’ll invite you into the 8-month intensive.

You’ll have an opportunity to ask all the questions you need to make sure I’m a fit for you. If so, the enrolment process is easy, and we can get you scheduled for your first session as soon as you register, and I’ll give you suggestions you can get started on right away.

But don't take my word for it.

Amanda says:

“Before working with Michelle I thought it was my weight that was the problem. I was struggling with so many issues. Poor sleep, poor digestion, uncontrollable weight gain, lethargy, anxiety, depression, and frequent infections. I had tried everything and I was at my wit’s end.

I had never considered that my weight was the consequence of EMOTIONAL weight I had been carrying for years. I’ve learned so much about myself along the way and was able to reflect on why I developed the unhealthy coping mechanisms I had and why my body had been responding the way it was.

My life has changed completely. Not one aspect is the same, and all for the better. My weight has gone down, nearly all my symptoms have disappeared, but most importantly, I have changed on an emotional level. I have made huge strides professionally and personally since starting my work with Michelle.  I feel as though I am who I was always intended to be. I am the best version of me. Someone who is in control and more at peace than I have felt for years. Michelle helped me begin healing from the inside out. 

If I had not started working with Michelle, I would still be struggling with anxiety, depression, and an extensive list of growing health issues that I felt absolutely no control over and hopeless to combat.

If I were speaking to a friend who’s considering working with Michelle, I’d tell them that it is challenging, but if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired it is worth it. It is the kindest thing I have done for myself. I have zero regrets”.

Becoming Empowered and taking back control of your health and your life is like planting a beautiful flower.

There's steps to take before you see that flower bloom, all of which will help the blossom happen more quickly and beautifully.

Krissy's story:

I was at a loss after 6 years of struggling with infertility, fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses after trying what seemed like every other avenue…all the diets, supplements, every other type of health and wellness practitioners.

While I knew that a lot of my struggles and symptoms were exacerbated by past trauma I didn’t know know to what extent or how my relationship with myself was a root cause of a lot of my issues. 

I was able to improve my relationship with myself, learn various ways to calm my nervous system when I’m stressed, and heal from past trauma. I also improved my relationships with others in the process and my life feels so much richer now than when I started.

After working with Michelle I feel more grounded, mindful, better able to cope with stress and more at peace with my life, and have a heart full of joy. Pain and and other symptoms have improved greatly and I am more connected with what my body is telling me and how to listen to it.

I feel like I connected with Michelle more than any other practitioner that I have ever worked with. She was kind, compassionate, an excellent listener, and just seemed to get me. She helped me to connect all the dots and I never once questioned the advice she gave me unlike others in the past. She always had various tools and ideas on how to work through something I was experiencing and helped me get to the root of them all.

If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I’d still be working on trying to find answers just from nutrition or lifestyle and getting more and more frustrated without getting the results I was looking for.

Michelle is gifted at connecting and seeing the bigger picture but breaking it down into small more manageable pieces, and knowing exactly what I needed at any given session. It helped me to stay focused and hopeful knowing I was on the right path.

Working with Michelle has been one of the best investments I have made for both my health and life. Her approach is unique and she includes a lot of important aspects for healing many do not.

Working with her will change your life in so many ways as it has greatly for mine. She goes deep to find the root cause of our struggles and will supply you with an arsenal of tools to help you cope with any situation during your healing process. I am so grateful to have signed up for the intensive program. I can’t thank her enough for all of the positive impacts working with her has had on my life.”

I was at a loss after 6 years of struggling with infertility, fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses after trying what seemed like every other avenue…all the diets, supplements, every other type of health and wellness practitioners.

I discovered Michelle on an interview with someone else in the carnivore space and her approach spoke to me. I initially was drawn to her because she herself had also used the carnivore diet to heal and our views on many other aspects involved in healing aligned. After we met for our initial consultation, it was her holistic and comprehensive view of how the body, nervous system and everything is connected, and that while nutrition is important, our relationship with ourselves in at the root of these issues that really intrigued me. It was a unique approach I hadn’t yet tried.

While I knew that a lot of my struggles and symptoms were exacerbated by past trauma I didn’t know know to what extent or how my relationship with myself was a root cause of a lot of my issues. I was able to improve my relationship with myself, learn various ways to calm my nervous system when I’m stressed, heal from past trauma, and even helped me come to the decision that I no longer needed alcohol in my life. I also improved my relationships with others in the process and my life feels so much richer now than when I started. In each session, Michelle gave several tools to add to my toolbox that I will forever be able to use when I need them.

After working with Michelle I feel more grounded, mindful, better able to cope with stress and more at peace with my life, and have a heart full of joy. My pain and and other symptoms have also improved greatly and I am more connected with what my body is telling me and how to listen to it.

The transformational journey to an Empowered You:

Phase 0: Making physiological connections — through an in-depth assessment, I help you put the pieces of your physical health puzzle together, so you can understand your symptoms, their connections and root causes, so you can more effectively manage them and know what will turn them around. This is the base of understanding upon which the rest of the phases will rest, so that as you go through the rest of the phases, you’ll see how they impact your body physiology.

Phase 1: Nervous system regulation — Before we can do anything else, it’s important to teach your nervous system that it’s now safe, and improve nervous system flexibility so that you will be able to take in the rest of the information in the program and make the shifts more quickly, easily, and sustainably. It helps create a strong foundation.

Phase 2: Meeting yourself — Discover who you really are on the inside, and uncover your true needs and desires. Find out what you’ve really wanted all along…you might be surprised what you uncover

Phase 3: Connect the dots — Put the pieces of your personal and health journey puzzles together so you can see and understand the layers of conditioning that have impacted your beliefs, emotions, and behaviours.

Phase 4: Uncondition — Shed those layers of conditioning that have been keeping you stuck and create new, more productive ones that make your soul sing in fabulous ways

Phase 4: Heal your relationship with you – Once you see how all the dots connect in your life and uncondition yourself from external beliefs, this sets the stage for you to develop deep, compassionate love, trust, and acceptance of yourself. You come to realize just how magnificent you truly are, and it changes absolutely everything.

Phase 5: Create your blueprint — Explore how you truly want your health, relationships, career, purpose, and entire life to unfold, now, and going forward. Design your blueprint so that you can create the present and future you truly desire

Phase 6: Amplify your potential  — Strengthen your inner potential and purpose, step into the life you’re truly meant for, and watch your well-being, relationships, career, and entire life catapult in ways you never imagined. Observe with pride and awe what you’ve been able to accomplish during the intensive, and celebrate with excitement how your life is now unfolding.

Phase 0: Making physiological connections — through an in-depth assessment, I help you put the pieces of your physical health puzzle together, so you can understand your symptoms, their connections and root causes, so you can more effectively manage them and know what will turn them around. This is the base of understanding upon which the rest of the phases will rest, so that as you go through the rest of the phases, you’ll see how they impact your body physiology.

Phase 1: Nervous system regulation — this is the foundational first step that helps everything else work better and last sustainably. Your nervous system is at the root of all physiological systems, so regulating this is the first step to getting better control over your body, health, and symptoms, as well as your mood, mind, emotions, and so much more.

Phase 2: Heal your relationship with yourself — An imbalanced relationship with yourself causes a great deal of chronic stress on your nervous system, which impacts your health in every way. The way you see & think about yourself, talk to yourself, and treat yourself is the foundation for all other relationships in your life. When you heal your relationship with yourself and develop a strong sense of self-acceptance, love, and inner-belonging, then everything else starts falling into place. Relationships with others improve, reactions to stressful events and difficult people diffuse and balance out, and you start to discover what your life is really about at your core. It’s the beginning of your metamorphosis that will change your life in magnificent ways.

Phase 3: Harness your energy — if you have a tendency to pick up on the subtleties, feel the emotions of everyone around you, or take on other people’s stuff, this can be extremely draining if you don’t know how to manage it. Learn to protect yourself from all the things that drain you and build up your energy bank so you can enjoy your days from morning to night with vitality, mental clarity, focus, and a bounce in your step.

Phase 4: Calibrate your inner compass — Understand the messages your body is giving you, and develop a strong knowing of what it is you truly need for yourself at each step, so you don’t feel like you have to rely on others to give you the answers — including your dietary choices, and everything else in life. This calibration helps you not just find your answers and your truth during the 8 months we work together, but for the rest of your life.

Phase 4: Dietary fine-tuning – Throughout the the course of the Empowered You journey, you’ll go through a specific dietary elimination and reintroduction process (completely customized, with a large selection of helpful resources at every step) to understand exactly which foods work best for your body, and which aren’t optimal — which you will decipher as you…

Phase 5: Blossom & Flourish into your best self — Once you’ve moved past just getting by in survival mode, you’ll develop your blueprint for how you truly want to live your life, with a sense of joy, purpose, and fulfillment that you’ve never before experienced…feeling in control of not only your health and symptoms, but all aspects of your life, from relationships to career and everything in between. This is truly a whole-life transformation that delivers next-level healing. You’ll strengthen your inner potential and purpose, step into the life you’re truly meant for, and watch your well-being, relationships, career, and entire life catapult in ways you never imagined.

The button will take you to Michelle's messenger. Just say you're interested in the 6-month intensive. She'll ask you some questions to see if you're a fit, and you can ask her questions to make sure she's a fit for you. If so, enrolment is easy.

Natale's experience:

“I was struggling all the time. Even though I had made improvements in my health, I was unable to maintain them. I felt like I was missing something and didn’t know why I couldn’t help myself. I knew there were answers out there, but I didn’t know how to achieve that myself despite my best efforts.

After working together, I feel more at peace with myself. I feel safer, more in control, an internal glow, happiness and confidence. I learned to trust myself, believe myself, actually love and respect myself and I’ve found faith in the world again. I know longer feel like I’m fighting my way through life. I don’t chase outcomes, I let them come to me. And it’s liberating.

Michelle showed me how to do this for myself. I don’t need to rely on external sources of validation anymore… it’s inside me and I carry it wherever I go now. Each appointment, this was further confirmed and solidified and my confidence and abilities grew.

What I found most impactful was that I felt seen and heard and my progress wasn’t necessarily results based. It wasn’t based on how much weight I lost on schedule, or how many days I went without cheating, or how perfect my behaviour was. It was about finding insight into my own behaviour, accepting myself, my struggles, and learning how to love myself. I thought I loved myself, but was unaware how deep the layers of conditioning were in my own mind. 

I never felt like Michelle was trying to force something on me. I never felt shamed for my outcomes or perceptions. I never felt like a failure after talking with her, even if I convinced myself I was in my own mind. She never wavered. I’m very sensitive and I felt openness and acceptance at every turn and like she genuinely cared…. and she helped me cultivate this within myself. I knew what it looked like because she showed me and I could model this acceptance to myself. She helped me feel seen, heard, and safe.

It is so difficult to express in words the shifts that Michelle has helped me with and the effect on my life. More than that, the changes I’ve felt have translated to other people. My husband and my best friend have benefited from the work I’ve done with Michelle, simply because I am more present, open and able to love. It allowed me to see how much love I deserve, and how much love those around me deserve and how I can show that love more earnestly and meaningfully and I see the effect that has on other people… when you are loved and accepted genuinely for who you are, flaws and all. There is more light in the world and it’s spreading.

I don’t know what would have made this program better, it was better than I expected. I didn’t think it was possible to make that much progress in such a short period of time.

If I were speaking to a friend considering working with Michelle, I’d tell them you’re worth the investment, there’s so much to gain.”

Specifically how I got there, I’m not sure, but Michelle has a way of reminding me who I am, of bringing attention to my strengths and the improvements I have made… and a way of turning around what I would perceive as failure into… success.

I learned I was trying to cram myself into a cookie cutter mold and force myself into a shape that wasn’t natural. I learned the impact of my own conditioning, and how to open my mind, trust myself, love myself and accept myself. Change happened… when I didn’t think it was possible. I just trusted Michelle and I found the way. It was right where she said it was.

Bess Says:

Michelle helped me really dig into the primary causes of stress in my life and my emotional responses to them. She gave me really useful tools that helped me find my way to self-forgiveness, acceptance, and love. Over time, I felt better, stronger, happier. I’ve been able to move beyond stress management and into cultivating joy and fulfillment in my life. 

Michelle is such a good listener and gentle, compassionate person. I found that I was able to talk with her about any issue in my life, and she was able to connect the dots for me in a way that was kind, non-judgemental, and encouraging. She helped me get to the source of my issues instead of just treating the symptoms.

If I were speaking to a friend who’s considering working with Michelle, I’d want them to know that they can trust her. She is deeply knowledgeable and experienced, and takes a lot of time with each client. They will get the extensive one-on-one attention that is very hard to come by from other healthcare practitioners.

It’s been an incredible journey and very much worth the financial investment. I’m changed for the better and will use the tools and recommendations provided to me for the rest of my life.”

I was really struggling with symptoms of peri-menopause — hot flashes, reflux, sleep disturbances, weight gain/inability to lose weight, and depression and anxiety. At first, the dietary guidance, exercises, and supplement recommendations helped alleviate my symptoms almost right away. I began to feel physically better — sleeping better, fewer hot flashes, less anxiety, less inflammation, and weight loss.

As time went on, Michelle helped me really dig into the primary causes of stress in my life and my emotional responses to them. I now recognize the role of stress as a primary driver of my system’s imbalance. Michelle gave me really useful tools that helped me find my way to self-forgiveness, acceptance, and love. Over time, I felt better, stronger, happier. I’ve been able to move beyond stress management and into cultivating joy and fulfillment in my life.

She helped me get to the source of my issues instead of just treating the symptoms.

It’s unique to find someone who is so holistically knowledgeable about diet and nutrition as well as emotional and spiritual aspects of good self care and well-being – with concrete strategies, tools, and techniques for both. I appreciate that Michelle has had first hand experience with using diet and nutrition to heal her own physical ailments — she really gets it.

She is deeply knowledgeable and experienced, and takes a lot of time with each client. They will get the extensive one-on-one attention that is very hard to come by from other healthcare practitioners.

If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I’d still be focused only on losing weight – as if that is the only thing that would help me feel better. I know now that weight loss is a side effect of holistic wellness, not the other way around.

It’s been an incredible journey and very much worth the financial investment. I’m changed for the better and will use the tools and recommendations provided to me for the rest of my life.”

In this life-changing intensive, you get:

Everything included here will help you finally feel in control of & transform not only your health, but your entire life.

This offer could easily be a five-figure investment when you factor in the high-level support, catalyzing leadership, and life-changing transformation occurs over and over again from clients who go through this unique and in-depth process.

However, to make this program and transformation accessible, this 8 month intensive is currently offered at just under $700 USD per month, with pay-in-full savings.

This is a minor investment compared to the tens of thousands many have spent going from practitioner to practitioner and therapist to therapist, trying to find answers but getting nowhere, feeling unheard and not taken seriously, and progressively feeling worse, with worsening food sensitivities — despite trying all the diets and treatments you can think of.

You finally step off the merry go round of trial and error, confusion, and frustration, and into a state of confidence and certainty — not just with your health, but every aspect of life — not just for now, but for the rest of your life.

It’s a supportive transformational, life-changing process where you feel heard, understood, and in control, which is priceless.

You step out of just getting by in survival mode, and blossom into your full potential, thriving and flourishing in every way into the life you know were were always destined to live.

Clients start to feel the benefits like more energy, less pain and better digestion and sleep in a matter of weeks, sometimes even days, and continue to feel better and more empowered throughout the course of the 6-month program.

Women who have gone through this program have not only gotten control over physical symptoms and health conditions, but have healed relationships, connected in a more profound way with their family, found more fulfillment from their careers, got back to participating in favourite hobbies and discovered new ones.

Many clients who have gone through this intensive have even received raises, promotions, and dream opportunities as a direct result of their new & improved outlook, attitude, and performance. These are next-level results you can’t get from diet & supplements alone.

Hannah's experience:

Before working with Michelle, I had been doing a lot of research on my own and experimenting with the Carnivore diet for a year. I had made quite a bit of progress doing this, but had reached a point where I was feeling very lost and confused. I still had gut issues and mystery symptoms and a LOT of unresolved stress. I knew I needed to tackle these issues but had no clue where to start. 

My biggest surprise was realizing the sheer magnitude of my stress and the damage it was doing to me every day. It affected everything I thought and did, as well as causing breathing problems, digestive issues, and difficulty sleeping. Michelle has helped me develop tools and practices to work through old stress, but also to learn to manage stress day-to-day. 

The positive changes I’ve experienced by doing this work, in only half a year, have been honestly life-changing. I was shocked to see so many of my symptoms improve with emotional healing work alone. 

My gut health has improved tremendously and I’m successfully reintroducing foods. Michelle helped me choose which foods to introduce and guided me on how to do it safely. 

Now, I feel amazing! I feel healthy for the first time in my life. Finally, after years of battling health issues and getting nowhere, I have answers and a way forward.

In the past when I would visit doctors I was constantly being talked down to and told my issues were all in my head, there was nothing wrong with me despite suffering from debilitating symptoms. Therapists were always cold and difficult to talk to. 

Michelle made me feel completely safe and understood. She has a very warm and comforting presence and I could tell she genuinely cared about helping me as best she could. She put so much effort into our sessions and each one felt incredibly productive. Opening up and talking to people is very difficult for me, and I often try to mask or hide my difficulties, but I was able to be myself with Michelle.

Her approach is unique because it’s so well rounded. We dug into the emotional roots and chronic stress to allow real healing to begin.

We worked together through Zoom and it was really easy, I was even able to record our sessions to review later which has been so helpful! Michelle was always available if I needed to message her with questions in between sessions.

If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I’d still be spending my days sick, stressed, and exhausted. If you’re feeling lost or stuck in your healing journey, Michelle will help you develop the tools you need to put the pieces together and make meaningful progress.”

Danielle Says:

“There is such a difference between seeing someone who is trained to fix symptoms and someone who is trained to dig down to the root cause. Michelle was immeasurably supportive throughout the journey. It’s a nurturing process that leaves you feeling cared for and listened to.”

Debbie Says:

“I can’t think of anything that could improve this amazing program. The best part of working with Michelle was benefiting from her generous and welcoming therapeutic style. She never failed to project kindness and patience during each session. Michelle would consistently seek to understand me, which was refreshing after years of feeling misunderstood by medical professionals.

Michelle’s patience and professionalism enabled my experience to be enjoyable and very productive. I always felt very seen and valued. Her greatest gift is applying her extensive knowledge to intuitively meet the client where they are as opposed to imposing on the client uniform “cookie cutter” solutions.

My physical and emotional healing would not have happened without her kind and knowledgeable intervention. I am very thankful.”

Michelle Dowker, MSc, ND

So what's my story?

My name is Michelle Dowker, I’m a Naturopathic Doctor turned Empowerment Coach & Transformation Facilitator.

My formal education background includes an Honours Bachelor of Science in biomedical science, a Master of Science in human biology & nutritional science, both from the University of Guelph, Canada, and a four-year Naturopathic Doctor diploma, from the accredited Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Canada.

I’ve also accumulated a wide variety of additional experience from informal education, from teachers such as herbalists, acupuncturists, reiki practitioners, Shaman healers and Buddhist nuns. I’ve also received many certifications including life coach and reiki practitioner.

I understand how frustrating it is to deal with unrelenting symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and pain. I myself have endometriosis and an autoimmune condition. 

Diet & supplements only got me so far to improve my well-being when I was knocked down with an autoimmune & endometriosis flare.

I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and frustrated with my body & health, and I believed if I could just follow a dietary & supplement protocol strictly enough I would recover.

Then I realized these things only helped to a degree, even though I had whittled all the way down to AIP then further down meat-only Carnivore — my results plateaued & my sensitivity to foods got continuously worse.

So I focused on going inward & Unconditioning all the beliefs, emotions, and behaviours I had accumulated over my lifetime that have been holding me back & impacting my health & whole life.

I learned that when I shed the social conditioning that had run my life & healed my relationship with myself, I stopped judging & criticizing myself, and finally found a sense of peace, joy, and deep purpose within, regardless of what was happening outside or even inside of me.

I finally understood that in order to get the results I wanted with my health & symptoms, I had to make the deep inner shifts to achieve more effective, impactful, and sustainable healing.

I help women with mystery symptoms & chronic illnesses break free from the frustration & overwhelm of trying all the diets, supplements, medications, and therapy to no avail, and finally achieve the level of energy, health, relationships, career, joy, and purpose they know they deserve — by guiding them to their own Inner Healer.

I have limited spots available each month for women who’ve tried all the approaches and are ready to dive deep into Social Unconditioning & self-healing so they can liberate themselves from what holds them back from achieving the body, health, and life they really want.

My name is Michelle Dowker, I’m a Naturopathic Doctor turned Empowerment Coach & Transformation Facilitator.

My formal education background includes an Honours Bachelor of Science in biomedical science, a Master of Science in human biology & nutritional science, both from the University of Guelph, Canada, and a four-year Naturopathic Doctor diploma, from the accredited Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Canada.

I’ve also accumulated a wide variety of additional experience from informal education, from teachers such as herbalists, acupuncturists, reiki practitioners, Shaman healers and Buddhist nuns. I’ve also received many certifications including life coach and reiki practitioner.

I understand how frustrating it is to deal with unrelenting symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and pain. I myself have endometriosis and an autoimmune condition. 

After a series of major stressors in my life, my conditions had flared and I had declined so badly I was bed-bound for months with pain, exhaustion, bloating, dizziness, nausea, and so much more. My life was slipping away. I’d tried everything I could think of given my knowledge as a Naturopathic Doctor, but nothing was working.

I stumbled across the Carnivore diet, which got me back on my feet again within days. It felt like a miracle. This experience taught me a lot about many concepts that aren’t yet taught in mainstream nutrition. 

However, even after months of following the diet religiously, I wasn’t feeling 100%. And I was so reactive to foods, reintroduction was impossible.

Natural supplements to heal my gut and immune system were somewhat helpful, but I was still not feeling as good as I knew I could. I had to be honest with myself and explore the true root of the trigger that made me so sick in the first place: Stress and unresolved emotions.

While mindset work, emotional healing, and stress management has been a part of my practice with patients and clients for well over a decade, it’s hard to see your own blindspots. It’s like trying to see the forest when you’re amongst the trees.

So I hired a mindset coach to help me uncover & heal some important things I was having trouble seeing on my own, and improve my own perspective and stress responses, and finally heal unresolved trauma I hadn’t fully addressed.

With this work that I did and continue to do (because it’s a lifelong journey), I’ve been able to reintroduce foods again. I don’t need to be chained to a 100% Carnivore diet for the rest of my life, which, at one point, I thought I was destined to have to do. And I see the same for my clients time and time again.

More importantly, I feel calm and in control of myself and my life, health, and my body — more so than I have in my whole life. And my clients I work with tell me the exact same thing once we start this process together.

Out of the dietary changes I made, the supplements I took, and the emotional healing I did, it was the latter that was the most important. 

Diet & natural supplements were supportive and helped me better manage the symptoms I was experiencing, but the root of the matter was the stress, emotions and past trauma, and I didn’t fully resolve the physical issues until I did the work to transform this key piece of the puzzle, particularly, my relationship with myself. 

My clients have similar realizations once they transform doing the work with me: that diet isn’t the problem — the true root of their physical symptoms comes down to stress and emotions, which is why diet and supplements only helped them up to a certain extent.

This is a piece of the puzzle most practitioners ignore, especially in the medical system. Often, they just don’t have the time. Or it’s not part of their wheelhouse of expertise. We all have different talents.

Some practitioners may suggest trying yoga or taking time for things like bubble baths. While these are, no doubt, relaxing activities, they too, are just managing symptoms.

When you dive deep and transform how you think about and respond to challenges in life, heal your relationship with yourself, and train your nervous system to function more flexibly, that’s when things change. Stress doesn’t build up and affect your body in the same way. 

When you start to understand that you have control over your body and mind, and more importantly, how to gain that control, it changes you on every level. When you start to feel in control, you become Empowered. When you’re Empowered, your life changes in every way.

This is the work I do with my clients. They tell me all the time how much more in control they feel, not only of their body and their symptoms, but their whole lives. Not only is their energy, sleep, pain and digestion improved, but they feel like they’ve finally moved out of survival mode — they tell me they feel like they’re thriving now, with a sense of purpose and joy. They truly flourish.

As an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP), I’m able to pick up on nuances most people don’t see. I can detect patterns, emotions, and messages hidden underneath the surface through listening to how you speak, what you say, and the way you say it. 

And as most of my clients tend also to be empaths and HSPs, I teach them how to harness this skill as a gift — as opposed to feeling it’s a burden, which I used to feel myself.

Combined with my academic research and clinical experiences, this blend of talents helps me connect dots most practitioners don’t consider and take you deeper than most therapists tend to. 

Trying to see it for yourself without outside help is very difficult to do — again, like trying to see the forest when you’re lost amongst the trees. Even I have my own coaches and mentors to help me continue to heal and grow.

I’ve been told over and over again by clients that I’ve helped them in ways no other practitioner or therapist has. I ask the important questions no one has ever considered, put together pieces of their puzzle and connect dots they’d never been able to see before, and show them perspectives they couldn’t see before, which have changed their lives in magnificent ways.

I’ve been told that not even therapists or counsellors they’ve seen have ever been able to “go there” to a place to help them see and transform themselves the way they have with me, and that they realize now was the thing they needed to truly heal.

I create lightbulb “aha” moments of life-changing clarity for my clients. When those moments happen, there’s an instant desire to do things differently. It doesn’t feel forced, it’s a natural progression that happens as part of the transformation process.

Are you ready for your lightbulb “aha” transformation moments so you can finally feel calm, confident, and comfortable in your body, with your health, and your whole life? If so, apply now.

The Empowered You Journey to blossom into the life and body you truly love:

Cindy Says:

Michelle helped me regain the confidence and self love I was searching for. Before working with Michelle, I believed my health issues were only caused by food. I thought if I just learned how to eat, I would become healthy. 

Quickly I learned through our sessions that it was much deeper than just food. Michelle listened to my concerns and worked with me every session to help me regain my health. She’s gifted at targeting the source of the health issue.

If I hadn’t started working with Michelle, I’d still be thinking I was allergic to every food besides meat. Fortunately, I came across Michelle who personally dealt with a lot of similar health issues. She healed herself using the practices she teaches in her program.

Now, my mental and physical health is improving day by day. The program cost is a very small price to pay for lifelong advice on how to maintain good health. My time and energy no longer needs to be wasted on searching for the next best diet!”

Some tools & modalities you can expect to learn & experience:

Personalized dietary suggestions with recipes & menu planning ideas

All approaches and techniques are based on scientifically proven principles, and adopted from some of the leading researchers in these fields. They are combined and personalized to your specific needs and personal story, in order to help you achieve the best outcome and results.

 

NOTE: While tools & techniques as mentioned above are helpful to support the transformational process, it’s just a portion of the program. The more profound work comes through the experiential process of having 1:1 emotional support, nervous system co-regulation through our sessions, and customized guidance for you to learn exactly how to connect with yourself and find your own truth, stand in your own power, and discover your answers within yourself. This is the more profound aspect of this program, which goes deeper than learning some tools…and goes miles deeper than diet & supplements

When diet and supplements aren’t cutting it, looking deeper is what’s truly going to give you the control you’re looking for over your body and your health.

For a large proportion of us who’ve been dealing with mystery symptoms, chronic illness, and issues that just won’t budge no matter what you try, stress and emotions have a huge part to play. 

If this sounds like what you need as your next step on your journey to finally feeling and looking like you again – calm, confident and comfortable in your body, give yourself the gift of transformation and apply today.

The sooner you start, the sooner you can finally free yourself of the shackles of diets, fatigue, bloating, and stubborn weight.

What kind of things can keep us stuck in unproductive stress responses that affect our health & make symptoms worse?

Here's a few examples...

All of these mindset habits we’ve adopted for a reason – to protect ourselves in some way, to survive whatever we have gone through in our lives. This usually starts during our developmental years, without our conscious awareness of it.

So pat yourself on the back for getting through whatever you did. You made it! 

But these “coping mechanisms” that got you through are likely now the things that are holding you back – from experiencing peace and calm, energy and vitality, and from feeling and looking the way that you truly desire.

Part of what I do is help you see and understand which unproductive thought habits are keeping you from achieving the goals that you want, and feeling your best, both emotionally and physically.

When you start to see what yours are, and most importantly, why they developed in the first place, it’s like a lightbulb “aha” moment of clarity. When you see it clearly, you’ll instantly feel motivated to want to look at it differently, and learn a new way.

I help you find that new way. That will bring you a sense of happiness, peace, and fulfillment like you’ve never experienced. And as a side benefit of everything falling into place both emotionally and physically, energy and digestion improves, pain eases or resolves, and weight naturally balances.

Is this for You?

Now, I know this work isn’t for everyone. It isn’t a magic pill, it does take some commitment, willingness, and openness. But if you’ve tried everything and you’re still struggling, then this could be the thing that finally stops the struggle so you can live a vibrant, happy, and fulfilling life.

Amanda continued her feedback by saying:

“If I were speaking to a friend who’s considering working with Michelle, I’d tell them that it is challenging, but if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired it is worth it. It is the kindest thing I have done for myself. I have zero regrets.”




 

Mary said:

“Before I worked with Michelle, I thought the only thing I needed to improve my health is to adjust my diet and treat physical symptoms with supplements. I liked her deep-dive approach into mindset and emotional issues. While it felt uncomfortable at times to do this work, it was what I needed and what I continue to need to get well and have the kind of life I really want. This is a unique approach I’ve never before experienced.

 

Michelle goes deep and gets to the heart of the issues that will help you heal in the deepest and most meaningful sense – so that you can be free and whole. Working with her isn’t always easy – it can be demanding – but you won’t regret it. In fact, you will be tremendously thankful that you did.”



Brannon said:

“If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I would still be struggling with trauma that I didn’t even know I was dealing with. I would still be trying to desperately find out why I wasn’t getting results. Learning how my stress affects my digestive system was a huge breakthrough for me.

 

Michelle is very gifted at understanding the underlying issues that cause common health issues and that helped me understand that I need to get to the root of the issue before assuming I have a major issue. If I were speaking to a friend who’s considering working with Michelle, I would say she will be great to help figure out the root of any health issue and that working with her will be life changing!”

 

What other clients have said:

Working with Michelle has been like such a breath of fresh air into solving issues I have had most of my life. I am so grateful for everything she has done for me. So many things have changed for the better for me since working with her.


If you think you're working with Michelle as a nutritionist or naturopath, you have to realize she is so much more than that.  She really is a therapist and coach and even more and she'll have you really thinking about things that you never thought you would. Her insight into the root cause is invaluable for treatment.
Rebecca
Michelle spent quality time asking probing questions to find the root causes. She was able to zero in on issues that had not occurred to me. Michelle has deep experience and offered clever ideas I never would have considered. She was generous with her time, and her expertise was a shining light. She is amazing.

I have mental clarity and tons of energy. I sleep like a rock. My skin looks great. My muscles are toned. My hair and nails grow fast and strong. My autoimmune condition is now in remission

If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I would still be struggling with trauma that I didn't even know I was dealing with. I would still be trying to desperately find out why I wasn’t getting results.

Michelle is very gifted at understanding the underlying issues that cause common health issues and that helped me understand that I need to get to the root of the issue before assuming I have a major issue. If I were speaking to a friend who’s considering working with Michelle, I would say she will be great to help figure out the root and that working with her will be life changing!

"There is such a difference between seeing someone who is trained to fix symptoms and someone who is trained to dig down to the root cause. Michelle was immeasurably supportive throughout the journey. It’s a nurturing process that leaves you feeling cared for and listened to."

If I hadn’t worked with Michelle, I would still be struggling with trauma that I didn't even know I was dealing with. I would still be trying to desperately find out why I wasn’t getting results. Learning how my stress affects my digestive system was a huge breakthrough for me.

"I loved her kind yet professional approach, and the combination of very practical advice combined with gentle questioning of my own perception of situations and how to change it. Michelle is honest and straightforward, and has a genuine interest and motivation to help you move forwards. 5 stars.”

Katie

To sum things up Michelle looks at not only food, but the mental and physical aspects of what I'm going through currently which is affecting my body.

Her way of talking to me has always been one of gentleness. Michelle is calm, non-judgemental, very informative, a great listener, and has a well-rounded practice of healing the whole body versus just the pain.

If I hadn’t started working with her, I would still be in the dark about what to do to fix a pain that had started to be chronic. The care I have received from her has been top notch.

Angie

Before I worked with Michelle, I thought the only thing I needed to improve my health is to adjust my diet and treat physical symptoms with supplements. I liked her deep-dive approach into mindset and emotional issues. This is a unique approach I’ve never before experienced.

Michelle goes deep and gets to the heart of the issues that will help you heal in the deepest and most meaningful sense - so that you can be free and whole. Working with her isn’t always easy - it can be demanding - but you won’t regret it. In fact, you will be tremendously thankful that you did.

Mary

Even with the life struggles I am doing really good thanks to Michelle!  People around me have noticed and are asking my secret to this new found look on life.

I have learned a lot and am putting it all to use. I feel the education I received and the positive changes I have experienced was worth the investment.

Robyn

My life has gone from being bored, lonely, and grieving - and not being able to figure out what to do about it - to being perfect, with great thanks to Michelle for her guidance. Life is almost too good to handle now.

Jane

Michelle has a kind and compassionate approach, I never felt judged. She helped me find and address the root causes and examine the why and what behind what I was struggling with. This wasn’t a bandaid to issues, it was a holistic approach that got to the root.

The coaching program lasts approximately 8 months. Sometimes life changes the frequency of our visits, making them either closer together or further apart, but the average length lasts 8 months.

While clients start seeing improvements in symptoms like energy, pain, bloating, sleep, digestion, anxiety, mood, and outlook within the first weeks and months of the package, eight months is required to accomplish the deeper, life-changing emotional transformation work. This is not something that happens overnight. With each session we “peel off layers of the onion” to unveil your true essence and find your way to true healing and create a paradigm shift within that causes every piece of your life fall into place in amazing ways. This is what delivers long-term, sustainable results that last a lifetime.

All sessions are between 60-90 minutes in length.

The intensive includes an initial deep-dive assessment, then personal empowerment & transformation sessions every two to four weeks, totalling eleven sessions in the 8-month container.

You also get 1:1 access to me through my private clients channel, where you can get text and voice note support.

You have 12 months to use your sessions in the package, unless we’ve discussed an extension.

It is suggested, however, to follow the suggested timeline of the program as closely as possible. When too much time lapses, we need to play catch-up which can slow or impede progress.

Sessions are typically over Zoom video calls. You will have the option to record your session so you can refer back to them whenever you like.

I often suggest you re-watch certain sessions in order to gain additional insight & perspective to further your transformation & growth.

Should you have questions, concerns or challenges that come up between sessions, you can send me a Voxer voice note or text, or email to the email address I will provide you. I will respond within 24-48 hours (usually sooner!), with responses up to three times per week as required.

You will have access to Voxer and email support for up to two weeks after your final session in the package. Its like having me in your back pocket for eight months!

I’m here to guide you and help you develop the plan, tools, and inner knowing that will help you get the results you desire.

You’ll be expected to attend your sessions and arrive on time, and be open and willing to share with me — the changes you’re experiencing between sessions, as well as a willingness during sessions to talk about stress, emotions, and life experiences, and an openness to look at things in a different way.

I will suggest activities, exercises, and tools for you to try and practice between sessions. While you are never forced to do anything you don’t want to, the more you implement the suggestions given, the more likely you’ll be to experience results. 

What’s expected of you is to take responsibility to take back control of your life and your health. I will guide you towards knowing exactly how to do that. You need to be willing to walk with me along this path and participate in order to achieve results. It’s a gentle, guided, and personalized journey, so have no fear. You just have to show up for it.

This package isn’t for everyone. It’s for the woman who’s willing to dive deeper than diet and supplements — to explore, connect to, and heal the emotional roots of physical symptoms. This takes a level of openness and willingness that not everyone is ready for or interested in. This is not a magic pill or a quick fix. But for the person who’s ready, it provides life-changing empowering transformation in innumerable ways — not only for health & symptoms, but every aspect of life.

This program is deep and transformative, and with each session I provide with my clients, I am there 100% with my focus and energy. For this reason, I’m only able to hold space for a limited number of clients at a time, and only take on a small number of clients each month.

Therefore, I want to make sure the people I take on are a fit, and I want to make sure that you also feel like this program is a fit for you. It works both ways. The best way to determine this is through an application process.

While I’m unable to provide refunds for session time already used, to provide you with peace of mind, should you truly feel the program is not the right fit for you and you qualify as per the details explained below, remaining 1:1 sessions that are included in the intensive will be reimbursed at the rate indicated in the signed program agreement.

In order to receive reimbursement, you must have given this program an honest shot, participated in sessions, and tried the suggestions provided to you. This will be determined via an exit application.

Absolutely! My thoughts are the more supported you are, the better.

My approach, while it involves supporting you to address and heal the emotional and stress-related roots of physical symptoms, it’s not the same as therapy. There’s room for both.

In fact, many of my clients also see a therapist, and they find our approaches are not only very different, but find the results they get from therapy improve with the work they do with me.

The purpose of the intensive is for you to learn how to follow your own inner guidance system, so that you’ll know what to do for yourself going forward. However, it’s always helpful to have check-ins to keep you on track, gain new perspectives, maintain accountability, and continue to grow and evolve along your journey, as healing is a never ending process.

For that reason, continuity options are available for those who’ve gone through the intensive. Details will be provided to you at the end of the intensive if you’re interested.

FAQ's

How long is the package?

The coaching program lasts approximately 6 months. Sometimes life changes the frequency of our visits, making them either closer together or further apart, but the average length lasts 6 months.

Why so long?

While clients start seeing improvements in symptoms like energy, pain, bloating, sleep, digestion, and mood within the first weeks and months of the package, six months is required to accomplish the deeper mindset transformation work. This is not something that happens overnight. With each session we “peel off layers of the onion” to unveil your true essence and find your way to true healing. This is what delivers long-term, sustainable results that last a lifetime.

How many sessions are included, how long, and how often?

All sessions last between 60-90 minutes in length.

The package includes an initial deep-dive assessment, an action plan follow-up every two weeks for two sessions, then monthly power sessions for the remainder of the 6 months to develop and grow the mindset transformation work, totalling 8 sessions.

Is there an expiry date on the sessions?

You have 1 year to use your sessions in the package.

How are the sessions conducted?

Sessions are usually done over Zoom video calls. You will have the option to record your sessions so you can refer back to them whenever you like.

Why is this package by application only?

This package isn’t for everyone. It’s for the woman who’s willing to dive deeper than diet and supplements — to explore, connect to, and heal the emotional roots of physical symptoms. This takes a level of openness and willingness that not everyone is ready for or looking for. This is not a magic pill or a quick fix. But for the person who’s ready, it provides life-changing transformation in innumerable ways.

As well, I only work with people who’ve already tried a minimum level of change to their diet. The reason why is because there’s so much improvement *some* people experience with dietary adjustment, that I want to ensure you’ve already tried that path. 

While we do discuss dietary tweaking, personalization and troubleshooting in the program, with lots of recipes and menu planning ideas, there’s not enough time allotted to teach the bare basics. There’s an expectation that you already have some experience with making changes, and have tried at minimum gluten- and dairy-free. Preferably you have experience with paleo, AIP, low-carb or Keto, and I have a special focus on helping women who’ve gone carnivore, just like I had. 

This program is deep and transformative, and with each session I provide with my clients, I am there 100% with my focus and energy. For this reason, I’m only able to hold space for a limited number of clients at a time, and only take on a small number of clients each month.

How this program is different

This is a unique approach that addresses often ignored but extremely important root causes of mysterious and relentless fatigue, bloating, pain, stubborn weight, autoimmune conditions, and endometriosis.

The stress response, emotions, and nervous system dysregulation can affect body physiology in innumerable ways, which can worsen symptoms and even trigger them in the first place. This is what’s called the root cause.

Looking at and addressing these important root causes, and even deeper, the roots of why the nervous system becomes dysregulated in the first place, is important to attain true control over symptoms of these conditions, rather than just suppressing them.

The problem is, symptoms will come back once you stop suppressing them if you don’t get to the root. Doing this is like putting duct tape over a “check engine” light so you don’t have to see the flashing light. It’s more effective long-term to actually go in and find what the problem is and correct it. The check-engine light will stop flashing, and the car will run much better, for a lot longer.

For this and many other reasons, Empowered You is different than the majority of programs out there for women who are looking for help to manage health conditions like autoimmune or endometriosis.

Getting to the root causes by addressing the emotional roots of physical, you’ll achieve a level of transformation that you won’t experience from a five-minute appointment in the medical system or what diet & supplements alone can deliver.

And if you’ve seen naturopathic or functional medicine practitioners, they will often address the physical root causes, but often ignore the emotional roots, and more often than not, don’t take the time to really dive in to create true emotional healing and mindset transformation.

If you’ve seen talk therapists and didn’t find them particularly helpful, know there’s so much more to consider when it comes to emotional healing. First, it’s important to heal the nervous system from the level of the body instead of the mind, because 80% of nervous system fibres start in the body and go up to the brain. Then, after connecting the dots of your story, the point is not to wade around in mucky emotions, but to understand yourself fully, and use that newfound clarity to move forward in your life, now and ongoing, by healing your relationship with you, which heals every single aspect of your life in beautiful ways.

Stress management and emotional healing is much more than just doing some yoga poses. It’s transforming how you perceive, think about, and respond to stress in the first place, and most importantly, healing your own relationship with yourself — that’s the true emotional root of it all. It’s about transforming your inner emotional terrain from the ground up.

And if you’ve tried what seems like all the diets, including AIP, Keto, and especially Carnivore, you know that while dietary choices are important, it’s not the whole picture.

This Approach in Empowered You gets right to the roots so that you can not only feel in control of your health, but your entire life. I call this next-level healing. It creates life-changing transformation in every way.

Are you ready to transform your life so you can finally step into the life you’ve always meant to live?

Do you know stress, emotions or trauma are triggers for your symptoms, and you’re ready to heal it and your relationship with yourself once and for all?

You’re not meant to live your life struggling and suffering.

If you’ve tried what seems like everything, you might be 3 feet from gold and not realize how close you are to striking it rich in vitality and happiness.

Try a different way to get you there: heal the emotional roots of your physical symptoms, particularly your relationship with yourself.

It will empower you in ways you never imagined. It’s truly liberating.

Finally feel calm, confident, and comfortable in your body, with your health, and your whole life
