Michelle L Saltz

I am an Intimacy and Relationship Coach, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Meditation and Breathwork Facilitator and lifelong believer in the power of love and connection. I am also a wife, mother, friend, lover, business owner, cultivator of beauty in all forms, advocate for wholeness and so much more–as I believe we all are! I began my career as an Art Therapist 28 years ago and have been deepening my practice ever since. I work with individuals and couples at unraveling the past from the present and harmonizing the many often conflicting messages between the mind and body so they can be and respond to whatever comes their way in life from a place of inner resource and powerful choice. In my practice, the full spectrum of the human experience is welcome and all parts are honored. My work revolves around the premise that people are whole and guides them toward the full expression of their unique selves. My style of coaching, guiding and facilitation is supportive but not directive, providing enough structure and safety to navigate difficult and painful patterns, emotions and trauma and to develop a connection between the mind and body to create lasting transformation. It teaches clients to resource themselves so they can access power, strength and support from within. At the same time, it provides innumerable tools for improved communication with others and relationship building. It offers simple steps and digestible practices to do between sessions at your own pace and to more fully integrate in sessions together. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I teach tools for listening to the body, to help you uncover and discover your own inner wisdom and untangle anything that is getting in the way and preventing you from having a life you love. By connecting more deeply with yourself, I help you cultivate a greater experience of flow, peace, energy, empowerment and freedom in every aspect of your life and relationships. Somatic Experiencing has given me so much compassion for the human experience, how differently each of us are wired and how our unique histories and conditioning determine the lens through which we experience the world. Most importantly it has given me a wide array of skills and tools for nervous system regulation and trauma healing which I use with my clients and in my own life. As a Certified Sex, Love & Relationship Coach, I take a truly holistic approach to helping women and couples with all things intimate, sensual and sexual. The roots of this approach are theories and practices of Non-Violent Communication, Imago Therapy, Parts Work, Attachment Theory and Tantric Philosophy. As a Meditation and Breathwork Facilitator, I guide you to explore your own inner depths, helping you to navigate and uncover the root of who you really are, to discover what you want in your relationship with yourself and others and offer tools to move toward your desires with consciousness and intention while honoring yourself and your relationships.
