Meet Michele
Michele Walker is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Polarity and Cranial Sacral Practitioner with a passion for learning, self-awareness, personal development, and building community. Michele spent 30 years working in banking, staffing, and higher education.
After Michele’s position was eliminated due to COVID, through meditation, she was guided to the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts to study massage therapy on the energetic track and graduated in 2021.
Michele’s life was transformed when she started taking polarity and cranial sacral classes. Michele became more interested in the connection between healing, mysticism, spirituality, Eastern and Western medicine, and astrology through massage, craniosacral and polarity therapies. Her personal experiences with grief, heartbreak, doubt/despair, unhealthy boundaries, repressed emotions, stress, and anxiety allowed and led Michele on her journey of self-discovery, transformation, inner peace, inner balance, and self-expression. She became even more passionate about inspiring and holding sacred space for others on their individual journeys to an integrated mind, body, and wellness.
