Michelle brings to each session her own experience of recovery and much more. She focuses on four levels of recovery…..
Four Levels to Recovery
• Emotional level - Teaching a person to get in contact with their feelings and start to express them in a healthy way.
• Physical level - How to feel comfortable in your own body.
• Mental level -Bring awareness and clarity to your thoughts, assumptions, attitudes and beliefs, which may be barriers to recovery.
• Spiritual level - Learning your own self-worth, you will learn your own connection to your own power/source.
