Meet Michelle

Hi, I'm Michelle

Dreamer | Empath | Nature Enthusiast| Jokester

By day, I'm a Career Counsellor at Trent U, guiding students through their career journeys. I love hearing their stories, discovering what lights them up, and helping them connect their passions to their future careers.

The wellness world has been crucial to my own mental health. Having experienced periods of anxiety and depression; mindful movement, rest, community, and nature have been essential supports during my darker times. Attending impactful retreats as a guest myself, inspired me to create meaningful retreat experiences for others with my lifelong friend @zenkenz. Being a part of Now and Zen has empowered me and positively impacted my life. I am continuously inspired by our guests and facilitators.

I am Shirin Yoku (Forest Bathing) Guide in training, passionate about guiding others to spend mindful time in nature, paying attention to all the miracles unfolding around us and reconnecting with our Mother Earth and ourselves. I also love helping others tap into their creativity and intuition through different forms of artist expression. I believe in the importance of play and connecting with our inner child.

Community building and helping others find peace is really important to Mackenzie and I. Our goal is to create experiences where we can connect with each other, rest, learn, grow and play. Thank you for joining us on this journey! We hope to connect with you soon.
