Testimonials for Michelle’s work

“Michelle has a great way of making mindfulness feel simple and real, without overcomplicating it. Through body-based and nature-led practices, she helped myself and the team slow down, reset, and reconnect in a way that genuinely stayed with us long after the sessions ended. Her calm presence and the space she held had a real impact on how we showed up, both individually and as leaders.” 

“I first met Michelle about three years ago during a one‑on‑one session at the start of a very difficult period in my life, when I had just begun my grieving journey. I was overwhelmed and anxious, with many tears. Michelle met me with empathy, calm, and professionalism. Her presence made it possible for me to feel seen and supported at a time when I most needed it.

Since then, through various initiatives—including resilience‑building and wellness sessions—Michelle has been consistently present to assist and guide us. She has shared practical tips for managing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, and she provides clear, actionable tools that genuinely help in everyday life and work. I particularly enjoyed the BodySmart sessions and the Physical Intelligence exercises; they were engaging, insightful, and immediately useful.

Three years later, I am more confident, less broken, and well along in my healing journey. Michelle blends deep expertise with kindness and clarity. She communicates thoughtfully, follows through, and creates safe, inclusive spaces for growth. I am deeply grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful, sustainable change in wellbeing and resilience.”

“Michelle guided our bi-weekly check-ins during the NLI 203 programme using Mindfulness and the Deep Democracy methodology. She’s approachable, showed genuine concern for our well-being and fostered a supportive environment where we were comfortable to break down our walls and share a little more about ourselves every time we got together.

Her ability to explain and break down complex concepts into understandable and digestible terms was of significant assistance to our program. She ensures that everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge, can grasp concepts, apply them to their experiences and capacity, allowing us to engage effectively. Her facilitation skills did not only keep our sessions productive but also aided to our understanding and application mindfulness principles.

In every session, she created a space where we all felt heard, seen and present, which greatly contributed to my personal mindfulness practice which is still a huge part of my life today.”

“I had the privilege of working with Michelle Smorfitt for about a year, during a period when I was facing significant challenges with my well-being and preparing for a critical, demanding project that would span all of 2025. Michele’s support was truly transformative and key to my success.

One of the most meaningful aspects of our work together was discovering that we both share a deep love for nature. Michelle suggested conducting our sessions walking in parks and in contact with the elements, which immediately resonated with me. This approach helped me overcome my initial resistance to mindfulness techniques. It created a natural bridge between my passion for the outdoors and simple, practical mindfulness practices that I could easily integrate into my daily routine. That connection kept me engaged and made the experience feel authentic and enjoyable.

Michelle’s facilitation style is calm, intuitive, and deeply engaging. She combines expertise with empathy, guiding you to discover sustainable strategies for resilience and well-being. Her ability to weave mindfulness into movement and nature is unique and powerful—it’s not just about learning techniques, but about experiencing them in a way that feels alive and relevant.

I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking to enhance their well-being, develop resilience, or simply pause and reconnect. I am looking forward to experience the retreats organised by her, especially those rooted in nature and mindful movement, they offer a rare opportunity to reset and recharge. If you are preparing for a demanding phase in life or work, Michelle’s guidance can make all the difference.”
