Monique Michaels Integrative Wellness: YOGA & YOGA THERAPY, AYURVEDA WELLNESS, NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE MENTORING

Description

Do you feel exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed and/or have difficulties maintaining healthy relationships? Have you begun to have health issues while leading a seemingly healthy lifestyle or have a demanding job? Do you have sleepless nights, use over-the-counter vitamins or medications for weight loss, indigestion, headaches, aches/pains, anxiety, and/or depression? Have you said, "I hate getting older!" Getting older is not the problem. The problem is for years we have taken short cuts to our health, and the physical and emotional stresses that have accumulated in the body, mind and spirit have simply taken their toll.

By finding the root cause of what is happening in the body, you can be healthy without the "band-aids" to help you through the day. In a initial consultation, we will work together and determine your dosha: Kapha, Pitta, or Vata, mental & physiologic functions, including metabolism and create a treatment plan for your health and wellbeing.

Specializing in the area of stress, anxiety, depression, weight loss and rehabilitation of injuries, I have helped transform the lives of many people around the world recover, repair and recreate themselves through modalities of balanced foundational framework connecting the body mind and spirit.  My method of teaching comes from an organically intuitive place, and therapeutic perspective. Drawing from studying the yoga lineages of Iyengar, Ashtanga, Indra Devi and Deskichar, my sessions weave together modalities of Ayurveda, Yoga and Yoga Therapy, Nutrition & Lifestyle Wellness. 

 A consultation with me is an effective, mindful and educational way to remedy imbalances in the body and mind, alleviate and heal skin problems and address food and health concerns using a multi-dimensional, holistic approach.

My certifications in Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda Wellness, and knowledge of Nutrition, Juicing & Aromatherapy will help you to achieve your goals and feel good from the inside out.
