Michelle Wood’s Summary

The ways I serve you:

Affirmation Movies: living picture boards set to music. By including both text and pictures, it helps synchronize the left and right sides of the brain promoting whole-brain thinking and creativity. Uplifting music brings a sense of fun and joy to the experience, enhancing both the creative process and creating those good feelings and emotions so necessary to creating health and aligning with your desires. Affirmation Movies have been successfully used to create health, to attract prosperity, and to manifest desires in all areas of life: a better job, a more profitable business, loving relationships, etc. I make your Affirmation Movie just for You using your pictures and affirmations we work out together so we know they will work for You!

Instructor in meditation workshops for stress reduction, leading you through six styles of meditation in graduated degrees of activity from walking to seated meditation giving you the opportunity to find the style that is perfect for you.

Instructor in two styles of Health Qigong Exercises, Eight Pieces of Brocade and Five Animals Frolic, for your holistic health and wellness. The third style I teach is Eight Healing Sounds of Yin Style Ba Gua.

Leader of Mindfulness Mini-retreats (one-half day) for stress reduction - includes a qigong practice, guided meditation, and mandala coloring. And food - don't underestimate the power of food!

Associate editor and regular columnist for “Qi Dao” newsletter, a publication of World Institute for Self-Healing.

My goal is simple though not necessarily easy: I want to help you reduce stress and attain excellent health using holistic techniques and mind-body tools.

I can spend all day telling you how great these practices are and how they have benefited me and my clients and students, but only when you experience feeling great, sleeping well, and being happy for yourself will you truly appreciate these powerful and life-affirming techniques.
