Hello, Wild Soul
I’m Michele, your Guardian of the Wild Path. I'm here to walk beside you as you awaken, unravel, and rise into the woman you were always meant to be.
To the one who is awakening to her magic...
You’re here because something inside you is stirring.
A voice you’ve quieted for years is finally growing louder.
Maybe you’ve looked around at your life and thought, “I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”
Maybe you’ve been holding it all together for so long that you’re exhausted from pretending.
Maybe you’ve reached a point where you just don’t care about meeting everyone else’s expectations anymore—but now you’re left wondering, Who am I without them?
You might feel a wild, restless energy rising in you—a quiet rebellion. A longing.
You crave freedom—not the kind that’s performative, but the kind where your soul breathes again.
You’re grieving the woman you thought you were supposed to be, while aching to meet the woman you’re becoming.
And deep down, you know—this isn’t the end. This is your beginning.
You may feel like you’re standing at the edge of something…
But you don’t have a map. Just a spark.
You’re drawn to mystery, magic, and the unseen—even if you were taught to fear it.
Your intuition is getting louder, but trusting it still feels foreign.
And maybe—just maybe—you’re ready to stop apologizing for wanting more.
If this is you, then you’re in the right place.
Because I see you. I’ve been you. And I created this sanctuary for exactly this moment in your life.
I'm Michele, Your Guardian of the Wild Path
I believe deeply in the sacredness of this life—but I also believe in swearing when needed. Because sometimes, the most healing thing you can do is let out a big, beautiful curse word and set that energy free.
My work is rooted in both magic and pragmatism—equal parts wild woman and wise guide. I’m a Gemini sun and rising, with a Scorpio moon (so yes, the duality is strong over here). One part of me is the grounded, organized, practical coach—give me the facts, and let’s make a plan. The other is the witchy mystic who speaks with Spirit Guides, reads the energy of a space before entering, and believes the unseen is just as real as the seen. That part? She’s usually barefoot, tending her altar, making ritual oils, or whispering with trees.
Both of these sides live in harmony within me, and together they inform the deeply intuitive and intentional work I do with women like you. When you work with me, you get the full range—earthy and ethereal, sacred and strategic. I’ll meet you where you are and hold space for who you’re becoming.
My own journey began with a rupture. In 2020, everything cracked open: I quit drinking, left a job that was draining my soul, and began the slow, powerful process of healing. I found myself turning toward energy work, ritual, and nature—toward the sacred. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was returning to the wild path I was always meant to walk.
That path first whispered to me as a child in Sugar Grove, West Virginia—a rural slip of land with fewer than 700 people and skies that stretch forever. I only lived there until I was two, but when I returned decades later with my mother, it was like something ancient in my bones stirred. The land spoke to me. The stillness. The wildness. The wide-open spaces that felt like they remembered me.
I carry that energy into everything I do.
I’m a certified Reiki Master, sound healer, and chakra/crystal healing practitioner. I’m also an herbalist, the creator of Raven + Dove Apothecary, and a deeply committed steward of ritual, cycles, and soul remembrance. I believe in the power of intentional living and sacred pauses. In finding your own rhythm, your own knowing. In giving yourself full permission to stop, exhale, and come home to yourself.
I’m a mother to two amazing humans and three rescue fur babies. The woods and my bathtub are my happy places—the spaces where I breathe most freely, where I remember who I am.
More than anything, I created Sanctuary for Wild Souls to be a space where you can remember who you are. Not just a website. Not just a service. A sanctuary. A refuge. A path back home to your wild, wise self.
When you're ready, I’ll be here.
