Meet Michelle
You know what it feels like to have negative thoughts about yourself going all day long.
You know how that takes away your energy and keeps you stuck in your head or stuck on your meds.
It’s not an easy starting point and I know this because I was there for a long time and I was able to climb out of it.
Life can be so beautiful. Let me be your guide to happiness.

My Journey…
The Cannabis Coaching Institute (CCI) helped me understand more about how Cannabis was able to help my depression by understanding how the endocannabinoid system connects the stress in our life to physical and mental issues we face daily.
I learned how to change my environment including my perspective of my thoughts and habits. The constant negative thoughts held me captive in self-doubt for over 20 years.
By taking care of myself physically, I could take care of myself mentally, which led to an amazing awakening.
My journey of self-discovery taught me that I love making people happy.
I didn’t always know this, but it has since become clear that I was meant to do this. My love and compassion for all people in all circumstances lights up the darkness that consumes many of us.
When asked recently to name my favourite song, Greg Garings’s “My Love is Real” instantly came to mind. If I could summarize everything about me it would be “My Love is Real.”
My healing journey has been about self-compassion; discovering and accepting who I really am, who I am meant to be, and finding my passion.
I Understand
I am dedicated to helping people who struggle with depression become happier and healthier; to live in a world of kindness, compassion and acceptance.
There will be love where the pain used to be. A world where people live with gratitude and lift each other up.
Going through this alone is what you have already been doing and it hasn’t changed your circumstances.
Getting help is not a weakness, it’s a strength.
I understand that place and I am here to help.
For over two decades, I numbed my emotions with antidepressants.
I didn’t even realize I was stuck in a rut, unable to find the motivation to escape from the medicine I'd been relying on for so long.
As I look back, I realize that my thoughts were blackened with could-haves and should-haves and my life lacked direction and passion. I allowed myself to be swayed by the dreams and feelings of those around me, forfeiting control over my own destiny.
As I became more disconnected from my true self, I grew increasingly resentful and I perceived myself as a failure. I found myself trying to fill the void of happiness through material purchases and activities, but it all ended up feeling pointless.
I was still thinking the same negative thoughts about myself.
Cannabis Changed Everything
When I integrated cannabis into my daily routine and incorporated mindfulness into my lifestyle, I was able to wean off my medication and start my journey to true happiness, allowing me to experience self-love, understanding, an appreciation for others, and a spiritual connection to the universe.
And I can help you do the same!
