Michelle Whiteley

Hi! I'm Michelle, a Reiki Master Teacher who brings together the wisdom of lived experience with deep spiritual practice. I express myself as a quirky, fun, and compassionate human while internally dedicating myself to growth, light, and my highest good—authenticity that lives in the integration of all my truths.

My journey as a former professional dancer taught me the art of transformation, resilience, and getting back up when life knocks you down. As a highly sensitive person who has navigated anxiety, depression, trauma, and various forms of adversity, I understand firsthand the healing power that comes from addressing both our suffering and our light. During challenges, I view myself as a warrior, a resilient advocate, or a bright phoenix—qualities that inform my compassionate approach to guiding others.

I am a cisgender woman whose inner energy transcends gender boundaries, using they/she pronouns as I embrace both my non-binary essence and feminine expression. This lived experience of navigating identity and authenticity deepens my understanding of the whole-person wellness that Reiki supports.

My greatest joy comes from a beautifully simple life as a daughter, sister, partner, and mother of two teenagers. You'll typically find me collecting inspiring quotes, walking in nature, creating something meaningful, photographing flowers, or baking sweets for loved ones. Through Reiki, I've learned that healing happens when we honor all aspects of ourselves—the vulnerable and the strong, the creative and the grounded, the human and the divine.

I believe that true wellness emerges when we integrate, creating harmony between mind, body, and spirit. My approach combines energy healing with the understanding that comes from walking through the trenches and choosing to dance with the light.
