Michelle Shea Walker is a writer, 500-hour experienced yoga instructor, Akashic Records reader, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, and an Institute for Integrative Nutrition certified holistic health coach. She has trained with spiritual thought leaders like best-selling author Gabrielle Bernstein and alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra.

With a unique brand of optimism, Michelle uses yoga, Tarot, Reiki, and other psychic modalities to offer a lighter perspective on even life’s darkest scenarios. She serves up self-improvement sweet enough for the new age newbie to easily digest with her distinct blend of eclectic spirituality, holistic life-styling, and the belief that you are your own best laboratory. In Michelle’s universe, there are no gurus, only intuitive clients who have yet to awaken to their divine inner wisdom.

In addition to teaching and coaching, Michelle channels her dry wit and boundless creative energy into projects such as the Total Betty Goddess Deck, FormerTeen Online Magazine, The Dame Who Dated web series/short, & the Please, Don’t Eat the Sage podcast. She lives in Chicago with a color-point cat named Harley and a black cat named Bane and serves as part-owner at The Collective Yoga Co-op.
