I used to follow this amazing lady on another platform which was full of adverts. Trying to relax at bedtime in fear of an advert suddenly popping up led me reluctantly away from her regular contributions. I am so happy she is here on Audible and wish I'd spotted her earlier. Her voice, her ideas and her wonderful creativity are a fantastic combination unique to her. Listening to Michelle's meditations are always a sheer delight and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Michelle's Sanctuary is Fantastic!
