ABOUT MICHELLE WHITELEY
Personal Note:
Hi! That’s me, Michelle.
​
I express myself externally as a quirky, fun, kind, compassionate woman. Internally, I am also dedicated to my light, my growth potential, and my highest good. I try to be kind and compassionate at all times, but perhaps during adversity or challenge, I view myself as a warrior, a resilient advocate, or a bright phoenix. With a previous career as a professional dancer, I know how to change character, or fall, roll, get back up, and continue dancing. My authenticity lives in the integration of all my truths.
​​
I grew up as a highly sensitive child with parents that did not have the experience or education to understand who I was or what I needed. Through my life I have had personal experience in varying degrees of anxiety, depression, PTSD, c-PTSD, suicide, sexual assault, dating and domestic abuse, emotional abuse, narcissism, misogyny, and not being believed for my lived experiences.
​​
I am a cisgender woman but the energy of my inner self is non-binary. I go by the pronouns she/they, which means that I am non-binary but feel comfortable expressing myself as feminine.
​​
I am extremely boring and love a very simple life. I am a daughter, sister, partner, and mother of two teenagers. You can typically find me collecting quotes, walking, hiking, creating something, taking pictures of flowers, or baking sweets.
