About Me

Hi!  I'm Michelle, I'm so happy to have you here.

I began making jewelry, completely self taught, in 2009 on the floor of a friend's living room.  Myrrh Handmade Jewelry quickly became a substantial part of my identity, and a way for me to navigate the world as a single parent. In 2014, the bottom fell out of my life and I knew I would never be the same. After navigating the trauma of that time, I emerged with a toolkit full of resources. I made a commitment that no one would ever go through what I went through alone, and led an introduction to modern Astrology in my community. After 10 years of making jewelry, I transitioned into hosting moon circles, providing readings, and leading workshops.  In 2018, I began my yoga teacher training journey in order to integrate my knowledge and become a more effective leader and teacher, and completed my 500 hour certification in 2020. In 2020 I began an intense training in Family Constellations, and will graduate from the advanced training program in 2024.

All of the tools I've acquired over the last 4 decades are integrated here.

There is an essence of who you are, the inner most part of you, that is already completely whole. I am here to acknowledge this essence in myself in an effort to help others find their own. My main focus is acceptance, validation, and radical self compassion, while remaining conscious and informed of trauma, loss, and privilege. Self love, grace, and resilience are my ultimate goals, and I believe they cultivate more love and service to others.
