Michelle Warren

Michelle is a dedicated body based healer, specializing in the somatic arts. She has a B.S. in Sociology/Ethnic Studies with a focus on Indigenous Studies. She is a seasoned Yoga Teacher, Somatic  Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), and Myofascial Release® bodyworker. Additional training includes Internal Family Systems, Tao of Trauma, Biodynamic Cranial Sacral, NeuroAffective Touch and Polyvagal Theory. She also serves as an assistant for the Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner training program. 

Michelle blends her expertise and intimate knowledge of cranial sacral rhythms, myofascial networks, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridians to explore how these aspects of anatomy hold emotional imprints and physical patterns.

She guides her clients into deeper conversations through subtle, yet thought-provoking questions. She fosters inner knowing by teaching others how to attune deeply to their body's narrative and listens closely to the language and experiences of the body. Michelle's ability to distill the complexities of the relationship between psyche and soma opens space for forming new patterns of long-lasting healing.

Michelle takes an integrative approach to her therapeutic work.  As a well-known wardrobe stylist, she has collaborated with many clients in the creative process and apply's her artistic approach to her somatic practice.  She views somatic work as a shared journey, believing that we are not meant to heal alone. She brings her compassion, her knowledge, and her appreciation to each session. She is profoundly grateful and deeply values the influence of her teachers, mentors, peers, and her clients, all of whom have helped her to cultivate a space where she can guide others into aliveness and flow. This creativity is the driving force of her art.

She believes in the wisdom of the body and is committed to supporting individuals on their healing journeys.  As we are more able to deepen our innate capacity within our nervous systems, we can begin to feel more at home and at ease in both our bodies and the world.

During her own healing journey, Michelle discovered and fell in love with Somatic Experiencing (SE ). She appreciates how SE creates a broader field to hold the healing process and enables and empowers the body to guide us to places that words alone cannot access.

Her most echoing credential is her lived experience as a mother consciously navigating the complexity of being human during most extraordinary times, which beckon us to love more deeply as we learn to move and be moved by our loss + grief.
