Tend the garden of Spirit within, and watch your life bloom.
I guide people of all ages into deeper personal connection with Spirit and community. Through ceremony and song—for greater joy and peace inside, and through all of life’s passages.
Michelle. Lover of God, song, and prayer
I believe in the potential of intimate connection to Spirit. And I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families to cultivate personal spirituality—and in doing so, enrich their lives.
Paying attention to experiences of longing and wonder—or loneliness and confusion—can lead us to greater joy and peace inside ourselves.
I draw on teachings and rituals studied over 20 years as a Jewish prayer leader to support others in developing their own spiritual practices, and creating rituals of personal meaning and connection.
What People Say
Studying with Michelle, just being with her, is so rich and uplifting. It’s an expansive experience overall. Her Re-Source Within course put me back in touch with my longing—what I hadn’t been able to create on my own.

The act of davenning for Shabbat is clearly your great pleasure. You embody it. We are brought together through movement, song, prayer, and a simple thread of explanation to understand our ancient tradition renewed. I feel a great sense of belonging in Judaism when I attend your services. It is the deep connection and ease I longed for.

Your depth of connection to the mysteries of this life is profound, and so beautiful.
What a blessing to hear you sing—and it seems the words and music are the path you take us on, and not the journey.

When I hear you are leading, I know the experience / offering / ritual will be beautiful, heartfelt, insightful, joyous, poignant, wise, and honest. I know there will be laughter, and that love will be at the root of all.

Your neshema was large (not in arrogance or lack of humility, but rather in grace, power and authenticity) and secure in holding and carrying hundreds of people on the journey through the High Holy Days. The sincerity of your kavanot allowed all of us to be transported on your magic carpet... Thank you.

Your voice is stellar as always, but what srikes me is the evolution of your leadership abilities and your depth in spirituality and Yiddishkeit. Combined with your musical gifts, it transports us to deep and amazing places... This makes you a rare and wonderful service leader.
