Rev. Michelle is an active ordained minister of the International Metaphysical Ministry since February of 2021.  

Her minister status provides the legal right to engage in counseling and spiritual mind healing of physical, emotional, and other life issues.    

Rev. Michelle ministers through this academy by teaching, coaching, divination, and energy healing.  As a metaphysical minister, she practices metaphysical spirituality, explores to understand the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe.  She studies philosophy, mysticism, energy healing, and other esoteric disciplines that go beyond traditional religious doctrines.

What is Metaphysics?

According to Dr. Paul Leon Masters, metaphysics is the search for the absolute reality.  It acknowledges and respects the beauty in all God's creation.  It is a religion without dogma.  It explores the immutable laws of nature, set by the Creator in the creation of the Universe.  

It is a branch of philosophy that studies the ultimate nature of existence, reality, and experience without being bound to any one theological doctrine.  

It includes all religions but transcends them all.

It is the study of ultimate cause in the Universe.  

It is the only science capable of inquiring beyond physical and human science.

Rev. Michelle is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a HeartMath® Certified Practitioner.

She is a licensed and independent certified professional in the HeartMath system to help people to experience greater mental and emotional balance.

She has been trained on three HeartMath certifications to help clients with stress, anxiety, self-regulation, and emotional management skills:

*HeartMath Clinical Certification for Stress, Anxiety, and Emotional Regulation,
*HeartMath Interventions Certification, and
*Resilient Heart-Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath Certification.  

As a trained IIN Health Coach, Rev. Michelle provides a safe space for her clients and meets her clients where they are at.

She helps her clients create awareness and inspire action to cultivate change without prescribing or telling people what to do.

She believes on her clients' autonomy and that the answer lies within each of her clients.

She is trained on motivational interviewing and other evidence-based approaches to elicit behavior change and offer support for the clients' best interest.

Rev. Michelle teaches at the University of the People as an Adjunct Instructor and supports its mission to offer accessible and quality education to qualified students with affordable higher education.  

As an instructor, she supports the Self-determination Theory that posits that learners must drive their educational process by having the natural motivation to learn with a sense of relatedness, autonomy, and competence.  Rev. Michelle also supports learning as a visceral experience that involves not just thinking but also touching, feeling, and doing.  In short, learners impact the environment and vice versa.

Rev. Michelle also serves as an Academic Coach at University of Louisiana, where she coaches graduate students in the Data Analysis program and at Montclair State University in the Data Visualization program.

Rev. Michelle is a retired veteran of the United States Navy and served as an Operations Specialist at USS Tarawa (LHA-1) on North Island and on shore duties at the Coronado Island base in San Diego, CA.  She is awarded the National Defense Service Medal for serving active duty during the Global War on Terrorism, starting September 11, 2001 attack on U.S. soil.
