KIND WORDS
From previous retreats
"...I knew that anything organised by her would be of superb quality."
"I have never met someone like Michelle. She's a force to be reckoned with, but in the best kind of way. She has a magnetic power, attracting everyone around her with her life wisdom and stories. I met Michelle while attending a retreat - not organised by her - and I knew I wanted to experience more of her for multiple reasons. To begin with, Michelle has an eye for detail, beauty, and is incredibly organised - so I knew that anything organised by her would be of superb quality. Second, her life experiences have brought her wisdom and insight that go beyond this physical world, which I am very curious about. Third, she is an example of creating the life you want and envision through manifestation and meditation. She's a very interesting woman and I hope to continue meeting with her for many years to come."

"...She adjusts your compass when the forest gets thick and you need help deciding to go North or South"
"I came to Green Farm for a retreat, and I keep coming back for Intuitive Healing (IH) with Michelle. IH, in my case, is not the full story. I have found support in these sessions with several subjects. I sometimes drive about two hours for a session and then back in the same day. Recently, I did a private retreat for the weekend. I got a wonderfully intense massage in addition to my sessions with Michelle. I was also able to see a double rainbow, attend a great yoga class with Richard, and be with the horses. I call Michelle my Business Mentor, but she is also a Life Navigator. The term Life Coach is more commonly used, but different than what Michelle has to offer. She adjusts your compass when the forest gets thick and you need help deciding to go North or South. I already have a return trip planned for April. The Green Farm, or Quinta Carvalhas, is a place that keeps pulling you back.."

"...personal and deep approach."
"Thank you, Michelle, for the personal and deep approach. I didn't know what to expect, and the work we have done during the session was exactly what I needed.
I felt like someone full of love and very wise is hugging your whole human being, which it exactly was."
