About Michelle
I have also lived with debilitating mental health issues. I felt like my world was suffocating me, trying to please everyone, but pleasing no one. Trying to make other people happy and encouraging them to do what made them happy, but somewhere along the way, I forgot that I was meant to be happy too, I forgot that I am meant to love me too, I forgot that I was an important person too. I was broken. Again, I turned to alternative therapy. I didn’t just want to take pills to make me feel better, I actually wanted to get better so that meant dealing with things that were making me unhappy. This was not an easy period in my life, but, at the same time, it was the best period in my life.
Now, some three years on, I am a different person. I am happy, I have peace. I am looking forward to an exciting and positive future helping others achieve what I have.
I want to help those who are suffocating on the toxicity of life and they just don’t know how to get out of the cycle. I want to encourage people to explore the alternative ways back to full health and fitness not just accept that the way they feel is the way it is meant to be. I am living proof that there is an alternative.
I have had weight issues since I was a child, one of my earliest memories was of a lady commenting on how “big” I was when I was only 4, and so started my life long pain of being “big”, of not conforming to how society says I should. I was always trying to be the best to compensate for not being the smallest. Feeling the constant pressure from some people to lose weight, feeling guilty about eating anything that wasn’t deemed healthy. I was part of the diet industry from the age of 7, so why is it that 35 years later, I still have a weight issue? This is something else I have addressed in the last three years. I am now nearly ten stone lighter, fitter and healthier than I have been since I was a teenager. I now understand food, its addictive nature and how to break that addiction, I want to pass that on to people. No one should feel powerless when it comes to food, and no one should feel like a failure because they aren’t a certain weight or size.
I look forward to helping my clients, find their peace, because at the end of the day, that’s all any of us really want.
The road to Lifeline began in 2014, when, crippled with chronic arthritis pain, unable to walk a few steps, popping strong, prescription painkillers like they were sweeties and at a very low point in my life, I happened across an article for Reflexology and a new clinic opening near where I lived. This was my first experience of alternative therapy and it astounded me, within two sessions I was practically off the painkillers and able to walk again. From this point on, I had an alternative to prescription medicine.
