Prais for Shamama | Shamama-Grand Rapids

"I attended a Shamama workshop, and it was phenomenal. I went to places inside myself I didn't know existed and expressed myself in ways I didn't know I could." - Tonika L. Grand Rapids, Michigan

"Michele, thank you for a magical morning. You are so affirming an understanding and beautiful and radiant." P.N., Rockford, MI

"Breathwork has done more for me in that 1st session than 2 yrs of trying meditation." D.R., Grand Rapids

"I appreciated the sacred honor and space given for each person's own process and that the focus was on our own journey and work, that offering remarks, comments, insights on each other's work or process was not part of the program. I have experienced that in other events or classes and generally find it unhelpful and unhealthy. If participants were interested in feedback from others, there was plenty of time for those chosen conversations. I frankly have plenty to attend to in my own unfolding!"—Anonymous

"Thank you Shamama and Michele for the spiritual awakening yesterday! Your Breathwork class is a MUST for anyone in the Rockford/Grand Rapids area who would like to release what is holding them back...Powerful stuff!" J.D., Rockford

"I LOVED Katie's Art Journaling Class! I didn't realize it would be so liberating yet meditative." B.R., Kentwood, MI

"So glad to have found this transformational group! It saved my life during a dark, cold MI winter. Michele brings so much positivity, enthusiasm, and creativity to each class. She presents information in a fun variety of activities that always seems to lead to an epiphany of self-discovery. Take the hike, draw the doodles, zone out to the drums!!" -Juliana B. Denver, CO

"I don't know of anybody who is doing all of this amazing stuff--at least not in Michigan! I never heard of 'journey writing' and now I can't live without it! LOL!" K.P., Holland, MI

"You did it again! coached me toward a journey I didn't expect to happen. Always interesting, always enlightening. Thank you!" - Anne H. Rockford, Michigan

"I came away transformed. I have never felt so rooted to community, connected with my craft, and at peace within. I am not sure if it was the breathwork, easy conversations, or walks in nature, but I know it changed me, and I can't wait to come back next year!" L.W. Troy, MI

"Michele was extremely attentive to the need of all participants. She was flexible, warm, caring, and compassionate. She has such a beautiful heart and soul and is definitely living her passion and calling. Thank you Michele."—Anon

"Enlightening work and play at the same time! Thank you so much. And it was great to meet everyone. Kind and genuine individuals." - Diana B. Allegan, Michigan

“An overwhelming feeling of self-love and self-acceptance came over me. In my 46 years, I’ve been running from my own body, my own being. Now I feel completely at ease.” AM, Rockford

"FABULOUS! Always a way to get the creative mindfulness flowing, ever endeavoring to get the body and mind positivity positive, and enticing the churning mind to be open!" - Debbi W., Comstock Park, Michigan

"I can’t recommend Michele and the work she is doing enough. If you’ve never experienced breathwork - I can assure you that she creates a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Consider this an act of self care like no other." J.R., Rockford

"Thanks to both of you for creating a calm, open, welcoming space, or perhaps it was attracting the right group. It was a rich time away from other pressures and concerns." - K.O. Ada, MI

"I don’t really understand what happened yesterday at our private session, but I think you beat the shit out of my energy…I still feel totally different, like I have this clarity that I was beginning to hone…I feel so powerful, now.…I can’t tell you how much it meant to me when you were speaking to me and looking into my eyes; it was like you were talking directly to my subconscious or something. The things you were saying sounded so out of my reach, if I thought about them consciously , but the way you spoke to me made them sound inevitable. And I’m painting. Who are you?! Thank you!" M.M., Grand Rapids, MI

"I loved Erin's Manifesting Magic workshop! I came home vibrating with positivity, energy, and a sense that the world is completing malleable! Wow!" A.M., Saginaw, MI

"You transfix me! I still think of you every day. I find empowerment in your words -- there are many moments where I still get stuck in that ugly ego place where fear wants to shout in my ears and push me back to that space where I feel paralyzed. I am making gains every day!" C.H., Grand Rapids, MI

"The self discovery is amazing with all the activities that are offered here. It is a welcome release of energy from within." -J.V. Walker, Michigan

Thank you for a great session, Michele! I felt so restored and uplifted afterwards. You truly have a gift for healing!" L.R., Rockford

"Michele, it is evident that you work with Spirit guidance. You are a wonderful facilitator. Energetic. Also able to step back, be quiet, trust and allow." Anonymous
