"Hello! I'm Michele, thank you for taking a moment to read my profile.

My formal education includes: B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Religious Studies, M.S. in Counseling and School Psychology, 6th Year Professional Diploma in School Psychology. I am a Certified Professional Educator in the state of CT, and I am a certified Sivananda Yoga Instructor and a plant-based health coach.

My work experience includes working as a school psychologist in every grade level from preschool through post-high school community-based programs for 18-22 year old students with disabilities. I have taught at 2 colleges, including classes in Foundations in Education, Psychopathology, Religious Studies and Ethics.

Personally, I am a wife and mother of 4 grown children. Our youngest son is 16 years old and happens to have Down Syndrome, which has added a very profound depth to our lives in that we have learned how to be unconditionally loving in the world from his example.

My true passion is in bible studies. I have held numerous informal bible study groups both online and in person which have morphed into transformational group counseling sessions, and I have facilitated groups that have stayed connected for years as they worked through their personal challenges and supported one another in an unconditionally loving, safe space.

Currently I consider myself a mystic in that I seek the kingdom of God within to experience my oneness with Christ Jesus, as I am no longer satisfied with the mere intellectual pursuit of God. I currently see the Bible as a live connection to the divine within. Contemplative prayer, silence, chanting and breath work are my jam. I recently created an 8-week experiential audio program in how to lean into oneness with Christ within.

I look forward to working with students in various mind-body-spirit topics from bible studies to psychology, yoga and breath work. I hope to have an opportunity to work with you soon.

Peace, Michele" less...
