Professional biography: updated
Michelle Wood is a meditation and qigong instructor, and a spirit healer and counselor who helps you Create Health, enabling you to reverse chronic physical illness and emotional damage most often caused by anxiety and stress.
She specializes in the healing power of sound through the practices of qigong, chakra toning, and identifying and using your personal sound tone. She also uses a form of meditation called Creative Visualization. These practices strengthen and support your self-healing capabilities, enabling you to bring your spirit, mind, and body back into harmony and health.
(Remember what 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer (theologian, musician, philosopher, and physician) said: "It's a trade secret, but I'll tell you anyway. All healing is self-healing.")
After raising her son, Michelle worked for twelve years in classrooms with Special Education and emotionally disturbed students in both public and private schools. In private life, her holistic lifestyle has included over ten years of teaching workshops and hosting group practices in meditation and qigong.
