“After attending an eco-somatic retreat by Way of Belonging I’ve been ruminating over my time and all the changes that have taken place in my head and heart. I have felt a deeper sense of connection to myself and the ability to be more present in my life. I have felt grief over that which is shedding away while new roots of hope take their place. Since I’ve been back home my body has been awakened to the sound of my own heart beating; feeling my sense of self taking up space and holding weight on this earth. It has felt miraculous to pause and view the ever flowing changes happening within myself. I now experience a new and tangible sense of peace, something I haven’t felt in a long time As a highly sensitive person, I’ve often felt misunderstood. Through Michelle’s intuitive and unique approach, she innately led me back to myself while bringing awareness and insight to every session. Michelle breaks down cultural and societal norms that are outdated while bringing balance and understanding to the table. I walked away from every session with a greater sense of self and body. I appreciated the use of different modalities as we addressed my trauma by listening to our bodies, and connecting with the earth in ways that helped facilitate healing. My experience with Way of Belonging has been pivotal in my journey of healing. They are caring and kind humans that pour their heart into every detail. It’s evident in the tender loving care they express throughout each interaction. I felt nurtured and heard during our time together; they truly felt like family. I’m incredibly thankful to these two amazing women for this life changing experience and the gifts my heart has received.” - Bethany, 2022
