There’s a moment — sometimes quiet, sometimes fierce — when something inside us says: I can’t keep going like this.Maybe it’s a relationship that no longer fits.Maybe it’s the weight of old wounds you’re tired of carrying.Maybe it’s simply knowing that you’ve outgrown the life you once settled for.
Whatever brought you here… welcome.
I’m Michelle — therapist, EMDR practitioner, and founder of Blue Phoenix, a practice created to support people through the messy, beautiful, and deeply human process of transformation. While I work with people from all walks of life, my heart has a special place for women in transition — the ones navigating grief, rebirth, identity shifts, and the quiet ache of becoming.
Here, we don’t just talk about healing. We honor it. We move through it — with breath, with curiosity, with courage. And we do it together.
This blog will be a space for reflection, education, encouragement, and truth-telling. I’ll share thoughts on healing from trauma, reconnecting with your body, working through anxiety and overwhelm, and learning to trust yourself again. You’ll find insights from my experience as a therapist, stories from the field (shared with care), and tools that you can bring into your own life.
But more than anything, I hope this space feels like a hand on your shoulder — a reminder that you are not alone, and that you are capable of far more than you may yet realize.
You don’t have to be “fixed.” You don’t need to go back to who you were. You’re being invited into someone new — and maybe that someone is you.
Here’s to rising,
Michelle
