Michelle is an Occupational Therapist working in mental health in Broome and surrounding Aboriginal communities. She has facilitated MBSR and MBCT courses since 2016 after training with MTIA and has practiced yoga for over 30 years.
Michelle’s therapy clients and MBSR participants come with a broad range of diagnoses and challenges, including the impacts of trauma. She believes that combining counselling therapy and mindful meditation and movement can empower people to become integrated in mind and body, live with more self-awareness and consequently, with more choice. Michelle invites MBSR participants into a shared, compassionate experiment to discover and experience what mindfulness may offer them personally. She understands the influence of cultural context, and warmly welcomes people of all backgrounds.
