I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your workshop at the Constellate US conference recently. I wrote a a couple of blogs that came out of the work I did with you that day: Returning from the Constellate US Conference in Seattle and Cougar Medicine.

Thank you so much for healing our son. My husband and I are so grateful. He seems to get better and better each day. He is smiling, laughing and initiating conversation. He is just a joy to be around! It is though he has a whole new zest for life. I cried tears of joy after he left to go back to school yesterday. I cannot thank you enough.

I’ve been working with Michelle for a year now, and have experienced tremendous benefit. She is warm, compassionate, professional, grounded, and very insightful. Her presence is reassuring and her energy is vibrant. I am very discerning and would not have felt comfortable doing this work with someone who wasn’t healthy themselves.
I decided to see Michelle for shamanic healing after years of trying both western medicine and complementary medicine for chronic neck pain with no apparent cause. Over 16 years I went on a regular basis & tried acupuncture, chiropractic, craniosacral, network chiropractic, external qi (energy) healing & massage, and did yoga, qi gong & physical therapy. Some of these modalities helped, but I wasn’t making much progress overall.
After 3 sessions of working with Michelle my neck is about 70% better, and for the first time the other bodywork is working! This has substantially improved my quality of life, and my family can’t believe how much better I am. This work has been so beneficial for me I’ve seen her monthly to work on other problems. She’s helped me with: illnesses that run in my family, OCD, spiritually cleansing my house so my family & I are healthier. My energy level & vitality have increased substantially with the soul retrievals. I am also relaxed & excited about life.
I have tremendous gratitude for Michelle and for the healing work she does! I have recommended her to friends, family & patients, and have heard nothing but good things from those who have been to see her.

Thank you for your level of engagement, your questions, deep listening and feeling, AND for your time, energy, wisdom and level of care. It was a gift to receive more healing and clarity around my body and my journey here. What a powerful evening!
So much gratitude for you and the work you do.

I just want to tell you how special my constellation experience and personal session really was. My relationship with my family has never been better. So much so, that my mother is considering a session with you. I want to thank you for healing my family.

There are no words to fully and accurately describe what you do for people. You are such a gentle, kind, and loving person. Working so closely with delicate areas of our spirit and psyche, you bring such an immense knowledge of spirit and adeptness at providing the healing necessary.

Michelle McKinney is one of the most discerning, intuitive, and sentient practitioners I have encountered. Michelle’s work is extraordinarily effective and informed by a number of highly developed modalities. What makes her exceptional is her mastery in integrating these modalities, which include energy healing, enlightened & highly grounded shamanism, and the integrated systemic constellation process. Michelle’s work is informed by an acute clairvoyance and the rare ability to gently convey insight that the client recognizes as their own.
The personal results of working with Michelle have been truly transformative. Michelle is a living treasure — a master practitioner of important, intangible properties.
Kim Ambler, Vashon, WA
After having worked on myself for many years with traditional therapy, I still felt like something was “missing”. I called Michelle to help me get in touch those aspects of myself that I had lost a long time ago. My experience with her was fantastic. She was loving, supportive, thoughtful in every aspect. Working with Michelle is was an experience that helped me move forward in my journey of self.

Grace, love, acceptance, presence and a quiet yet bold power that comes from within her being are the qualities I experience in a session with Michelle. Whether I am a client in search of healing or student in search of learning, Michelle’s unwavering commitment to my well-being brings forth wisdom and support beyond my expectations.
Janet Harvey, Freeland, WA
Every thing has been great since our last healing. I have felt more myself then I have ever felt for a really long time. The self destructive behaviors are gone, and have been working out and eating healthy foods. I’m doing great. My relationship with my parents is going well too.
Daniel C., WA
In 1993 I was in a bad car accident and suffered repeated and severe whiplash that required surgery to remove a herniated disc, fuse my spine, and reattach torn neck muscles. Although I recovered well, I began to have unusual headaches that I called my “car-wreck headaches.” Over time, these headaches occurred more often, lasted longer, and became more painful, developing an intensity and symptoms similar to migraines. Additionally, my neck muscles developed a rigor-like tension impossible to ease.
Faced with the prospect of a lifetime of muscle relaxants and painkillers, which would only treat the symptoms, and having had positive experiences with alternative medicine in other areas, I came to Michelle for healing. One session with her cured the root of the problem and I have not had a “car-wreck headache” since. Moreover, it was a completely fascinating experience!
Vicki, Tacoma, WA
As a psychiatric nurse and energy practitioner, I believe strongly that spiritual healing is the most intimate level of transformation. It is also the realm that is frequently neglected, avoided and overlooked . On both a professional and personal level I have experienced Michelle’s respectful use of Shamanic Healing. My clients have found it a helpful adjunct to their healing process and it has further validated my belief that healing from trauma takes place at the soul level. I have incorporated some of the Shamanic principles in my holistic psychotherapy healing practice.
Gina Delmastro, RN, C CEDA THTP
The session I did with Michelle was the most profound healing work I’ve done. The spiritual magic she carries showed immediately and allowed me to open up and feel comfortable throughout the entire shamanic healing process. She’s the real thing, a true miracle worker.
Courtney M., Seattle, WA
Michelle brings such richness to the work and teaching process; she honors and brings to life a deep inner knowing we all have within.
John J., Seattle, WA
I’m witnessing so many positive shifts in my life after working with Michelle! Four years ago, I suffered from physical and emotional anxiety. I also had felt very lonely, misunderstood and detached from my family and friends.
I would see Michelle for a private healing session when I was stressed and out-of-sorts. Afterwards, I’ve always left the healing work feeling relaxed, filled with love for myself and the world.
Michelle has provided me with resources for self empowerment. It’s remarkable to see my life so differently looking back. Today, I am more grounded and self assured, which makes me excited for more positive changes tomorrow!
I absolutely enjoy Family Constellations with Michelle. I had never heard of group healing work like this before. I was even a little shy approaching my healing work within a group setting. Now, a regular group participant – time and time again, I am profoundly amazed by this work!
Anna Koosman, Seattle, WA
It is so helpful to have some perspective of my life through the work I do with you. Life happens and your work helps us navigate both through serene and troubled times. You bring depth, spirit and soul to your practice. It can sometimes be the good times that are the hardest to allow in so that we can move into happiness.
Laurie Merwin, WinZer Farm, Manastash Canyon, WA
I give Michelle my whole hearted recommendation as a facilitator of Family Constellations. I have had the good fortune of having a great deal of experience observing and admiring Michelle’s many skills in the healing arena. We participated in a year long training together and have co-facilitated many workshops together since completion of the training.
Michelle brings with her a vast background in the healing arts, enabling her to tailor a solution to each unique circumstance brought to her attention as a Family Constellations facilitator. In addition to the Constellations training, Michelle is a shamanic practitioner and a hypnotherapist. She is able to discern, through her deep listening and communication with an individual, what may provide the most support and benefit.
With her practiced skill and myriad of abilities, Michelle is able to create a safe haven for others to bring their issues and be held in a place of respect and compassion. In her workshops, Michelle allows for the unexpected and delightful to arise, seamlessly integrating the past and a new vision. Her gracious acceptance and warmth of communication allows workshop participants to relax and allow for new possibilities and solutions to arise.
I highly recommend Michelle as a Family Constellations facilitator, based on her skills, professionalism, and high ethical standard she brings to the work.
Rhonda Laumann, Seattle, WA
During my time working with Michelle, I have made phenomenal progress in familial relationships and consider my mental and emotional well being more balanced and peaceful.
Michelle is impressively intuitive, and I experienced constellation work with her has much more rapid results than “talk” therapy. As an example, for 30 years of my teen and adult life I carried major resentment and anger towards my Mother. I went through years of “talk” therapy and still avoided visiting her and even dreaded talking with her on the phone. Within six months of just one constellation session with Michelle, where I was merely a participant in the constellations of others, I found myself visiting and calling my Mom regularly. I had given up on “talk” therapy so the only thing I can attribute the change to is my work with Michelle. Somehow much of the anger and resentment has dissipated and I can accept her as she is in the present and let the past go.
I highly recommend working with Michelle in group constellations as well as on a one on one basis.
Cherie L’Heureux, Bend, OR
As a Licensed Massage Practitioner in Washington State, I like to refer my clients to other professionals who can help them in their healing process. Michelle McKinney approached me as a colleague to exchange sessions so we could explore each others’ work.
It’s been my experience that Michelle conducts herself in a very professional manner. She is well informed and thorough in her work. She is careful in her approach, caring, and attentive. Michelle takes her work seriously and responsibly. Michelle does not seem to use her skills solely for profiting financially, but rather because she cares about improving the well-being of others.
I would highly recommend Michelle as a professional in her field.
