- Body alignment assessment- Standing and moving
- Gentle, hands on body Palpation to determine current holding patterns.

About Michelle
At age 20, Michelle worked in an elder rehab clinic. At the clinic Michelle witnessed the profoundly transformative effects of the Bobath technique-an integrated physical therapy approach to rehabilitate brain injury patients. That experience inspired Michelle to devote her life’s work in service to showing people how to feel at ease in their body and to feel powerful in life.
Michelle received a degree in Physical Therapy in 1991. While working at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, Michelle sought relief for a long-standing whiplash injury with the whole-Being system of Aston Kinetics. Aston Kinetics healed the injury and Michelle was overjoyed to discover a holistic healing modality that gave her the tools through which she could grow personally in the expression of her skills, talents and philosophy.
