Integration Coaching is a personalized approach, designed to meet each client where they are. You may find yourself navigating a life or career transition, coping with loss or a diagnosis, or processing a breathwork or somatic experience. Maybe you're simply standing at a crossroads, wondering what comes next. Whether you're feeling stuck or inspired by curiosity, it’s my honour to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you find your way forward.
Psychedelic Integration Coaching offers an added layer of support alongside psychedelic therapy. Whether your experience took place in a clinical trial, a ketamine clinic, through Health Canada's Special Access Program, through somatic psychedelic psychotherapy, or in another setting, we work together to integrate the insights and meaningful takeaways that often emerge from these profound, transpersonal experiences.
Integration Coaching complements therapy by offering an additional layer of support. Similar to how a doula provides emotional and practical care during labor, an Integration Coach offers personalized support as clients process and integrate their experiences. This space often creates opportunities for reflection and insight, which clients can then bring into their therapy sessions for deeper exploration.
“If you’re willing to pay attention to and dialogue with what’s happening inside of you, you’ll find that your body already knows the answers about how to live a full, present, connected, and healthy life.”
My clients tell me I am curious, open-minded and supportive. I am passionate about creating safe space for those I am privileged to work with. My intention is that those I support feel heard, seen and felt.
I have worked in the healing arts for 30 years holding space for people as they have found resonance and healing through music. In addition I have trained and worked in the past under the direction of a Registered Clinical Counsellor in a lay counselling capacity. More recently I have taken courses through the Embody Lab, The Centre for Collaboration, Motivation and Innovation and a summer session with Martha Beck.

"I cannot thank you enough... your ability to hold space for others is a true gift."
"Michelle made me feel completely comfortable and safe and held sacred space for me to explore my experience. She asked appropriate questions and offered complete support throughout the entire session. Thank you, Michelle!"
"I felt deeply held and heard during the sessions with plenty of time to let my body guide the process. You created a safe space that allowed me to explore and better understand... Your presence was grounding... Thank you for the care and support you created and provided."
"Working with Michelle has been an incredible experience. She met with me multiple times to help me think through my post-grad school future and always followed up in a way that reminded me to put myself first. Her approach was supportive and non-judgmental, but she also pushed me to confront the questions I’d been avoiding. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to take ownership of my next steps with clarity and excitement. Time with Michelle is a gift I couldn’t recommend more."
