Hello Queen!
You're driven and ambitious, but your body keeps freaking out and getting angry with you. WTF is going on?!? You have dreams of taking- over- the-world proportions, and yet, you feel like a hot mess. You are a high-functioning invisible illness warrior. No one in your life seems to know just how thinly spread you truly are. You're the dependable one in your life, which is great, but you've run out of time and energy to take care of yourself beyond survival. Instead of flirting with fun and sexy people, you're flirting with burnout. Nobody wants that.
If your self-care is stressing you out, you're doing it wrong.
A Type 1 Diabetic since 1992, I've had little choice but to keep an eye on my health and be aware of every bite of food. Combine that with growing up around diet culture, drinking meal replacement shakes before shaker cups came with a whisk ball, and holding myself to the ideal image of a fitness professional- It's no wonder that I burned out from "taking care of myself." My self-care was stressing my body and I almost died because of it.
Lesson Learned. I'm a recovering hot mess and a happy weight-loss-dropout. I've left weight loss plans and fitness fads behind. I have multiple chronic illnesses and they all need to be considered. Self-care looks different for those of us living with an invisible illness. I believe in self-care that's a blend of science and woo. I'm a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and an intuitive, feminine, empath. I'm owning it all. My body is my queen.
Let's end the battle with our bodies and start treating ourselves like queens. Everyone else can follow our lead.

"Michelle taught me more about listening to and loving my body with autoimmune disease in one hour than I've learned in 30 years."
Queen Megan
"Chase Dreams, Not Symptoms, Bootcamp" got me to take my health issues more seriously—not in a downer sort of way, but just to be able to really hear what my body wants to tell me."
Queen Sandra
Michelle motivates me to take care of myself in a way that fits my needs, not the traditional narrative of wellness. With her guidance, support, and a little nudge if I need it, I feel more empowered than ever to take charge of my health.
Queen Meaghan
Michelle's bootcamp was just what I needed and the timing was perfect. I'm a part of a lot of online groups for my particular illnesses, but they are mostly filled with sadness and hopelessness. Her bootcamp was the opposite. It was tailored to my needs, uplifting, and connected me with real women who understood the struggle of being sick without giving up.
