Meet Michelle

Hi, I’m Michelle

​

I’m a wellness practitioner, nature lover, creative dreamer, mother of three boys—and someone who believes that healing doesn’t always have to feel clinical or serious.

Sometimes healing looks like bodywork and meaningful conversations. Sometimes it’s quiet time beside the water, moving your body, laughing until your stomach hurts, or finally giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe.

​

My own journey with natural health began long before Living Strong. After experiencing the difference that natural remedies and holistic therapies made in my life, I became fascinated by the body’s ability to heal when it is given the right support. That curiosity led me to learn from Naturopathic Doctors, herbalists, and natural health practitioners—and eventually to graduate with honours from the Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage in Fredericton in 2014.

Over the years, my work has grown into something much more personal and intuitive than traditional massage. I don’t believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person carries stress, pain, emotion, and life experiences differently, so every treatment I offer is shaped around the individual in front of me.

​

My sessions may include Advanced Manual Cupping Therapy, magnetic therapy, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral techniques, therapeutic bodywork, energy healing, or Somatic Release Therapy. I completed advanced cupping training with Shannon Gilmartin, author of The Guide to Modern Cupping, and in 2025, I furthered my education by becoming a qualified Naturopathic Practitioner.

But my work is only one part of who I am.

​

I’m happiest when I’m creating something—whether I’m dreaming up a new wellness experience, transforming a forgotten space, planning a retreat at the lake, or coming up with an idea that may be a little wild but somehow feels completely right. I love nature, deep conversations, spontaneous adventures, beautiful spaces, meaningful connection, and finding reasons to laugh along the way.

I can be calm and grounding, but I’m also playful, curious, and a little goofy. I believe there is room for all of it. Wellness doesn’t mean becoming perfectly peaceful or having life completely figured out. It means learning to listen to yourself, reconnect with what you need, and feel more at home in your own body.

​

That belief is at the heart of Living Strong—and behind everything I have created, including my Little Cabin in the Woods. My hope is to offer people a place where they can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with nature, receive meaningful support, and remember what it feels like to simply be themselves.

​

Whether you come to me for physical relief, emotional release, deeper rest, or a peaceful escape, you will be welcomed exactly as you are.

​

I would love to meet you and help you discover what feeling restored, revitalized, and reconnected could look like for you.

​

Where nature meets nurture.
