Bio
Randi Giacinto
Life gets so busy now a days and we have so many things in front of our faces with technology and social media and everything else that will effect our brain, how we think, and how we process things. I was getting so lost and confused with all of this being thrown at me and wanted some help and guidance. One of the best decisions I made when realizing this was reaching out to Michelle and beginning to work with her. She really can listen and hear what I am saying, even if it hardly makes sense to me. Even more importantly though after listening so well she would help me understand what was going on in my brain, why I was feeling certain ways, or even helped me realize that I was feeling differently than I thought I was feeling! I learned different ways to express how I felt or even little things like learning how to draw what was going on in my head to better understand it. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone that finds themselves in the same position, just unsure of what's going on around them or within them and wanting more clarity. She was so 'no pressure' and fun/easy to talk to! As our sessions were nearing an end prior to me moving out of state I remember driving to see her feeling like I wouldn't have much to discuss. Then once I was there, the conversation would flow and I would leave feeling even better than when I arrived! She truly cares about what she does and that is so obvious, and obviously why she excels so much!

Michelle offers a magical space of authenticity, creativity, and self-exploration. She is engaging, warm, and holds space for expression. I would highly recommend attending any event she offers in a heart beat. I love her work and her message of strength, courage, and the power of being true to yourself.

Give your soul the microphone so you can finally hear the messages it's been whispering to you for years... Mystery School is a community of creative women supporting each other's self-mastery, learning to speak their soul language and aligning with their purpose. Woman-Soul-Earth. We are all one. And we are all in need of healing. You've done all the things: therapy, self-help books, classes, workshops... But there's a limitation to doing it "their way." At some point you need to connect with your Self. Purpose and self-trust are WITHIN..not outside of you. I'm offering a creative, feminine path to Listening to your own Inner Wisdom. It's not "Michelle's way". It's the way art works. ~Art always tells the truth. ~Art always mirrors YOU. ~Art is how soul speaks. I'm just going to remind you how to Listen.
