In 2017, Michelle became a certified yoga instructor and followed this with her meditation training in 2018. She learned much about what she knows about mindfulness from her yoga and meditation teacher training and her personal daily practice.

Why mindful meditation in the workplace?
Meditation and mindfulness provides benefits like calming the nervous system, regulating breath and creating space from our thoughts allowing us to focus with greater clarity. These are key benefits to both employers and employees and facilitates greater workplace success. When you are calm and focused, you can demonstrate your best self.
When Michelle is not working she enjoys cooking with her husband and on most weekends you will find them hiking in the woods.
