Being Your Body

I have been working with Michelle for the past month and have already felt the positive changes of our work together. As someone with a long history of anxiety, I have always sought ways to alleviate my symptoms — yoga, meditation, talk therapy — and while all have helped in some way, none have felt as effective as my work with Michelle. From our first appointment, I felt like she was someone who deeply understood my struggle and I trusted her to guide me in the right direction. She is professional, caring and best of all, knows how to help people trust and love their bodies (which is another way to say, love themselves).

Working with Michelle has been very transformative. She has really taught me how to listen to my body and reconnect with how I’m physically feeling. I was experiencing tremendous anxiety that often resulted in panic attacks, aches, and insomnia.
She helped me work through a lot of these issues and now I have the space and tools to manage my feelings in the moment. As a benefit, now that I’m less stressed and anxious I find that I have a lot more room for my creativity to come through. She is absolutely delightful to work with and I have referred her to many friends.
If you are looking for radical change in your stress levels I would highly recommend her.

I looked up Grinberg Method practictioners in NYC as soon as I got back from a trip from Berlin, where I was first introduced to the practice, to address pain that western medicine had no explaination for. I am so lucky to have found Michelle. She is infinitely compassionate, wholly present and absolutely the person I want to be next to me as I learn to renegotiate pain – both emotional and physical – and release it from the places I hold it in my body. After 6 weeks of working with Michelle, I have significantly less pain. Side effects I wasn’t expecting: I am more confident and focused in my everyday life, I handle stressful situations with greater ease, and bounce back from tense situations much faster. Grinberg Methods helps close the gap between body and mind, reaction and response, habit and intention. I highly recommened working with Michelle! She really is fantastic!

I have been working with Michelle for the past 3 months and it has been really transformative for me both physically and mentally. I’m a new mom and have been feeling a bit disconnected from myself since I now put so much of my focus and energy into motherhood and rarely find time to pay attention to what’s going on with me. I also struggle with neck and jaw pain. Michelle has helped me to be more present every day and has helped me start to let go of tension that I didn’t even realize I was carrying around. Every time I leave a session I feel a huge amount of pressure has been lifted. It’s like I’m a bit lighter and my thoughts are calmer and clearer. I highly recommend working with her to learn more about yourself and this very unique practice!

Michelle is a sweetheart, first of all. But she also knows what she’s doing! I was blown away after one session with her. Unfortunately, for logistic reasons, I will have to take a long break from our sessions, but I will be looking forward to getting back to her!

I’ve had issues in my throat and belly along with a sudden fear of flying. I have wanted to try something other than surgery and I am so lucky Michelle came along. I have been seeing her for several months, and had been a previous client of Grinberg Method in Vienna while living abroad and have to say she’s amazing and the practice is phenomenal. Michelle is very intuitive and perceptive, and makes you feel at ease. The effect on the body and everyday life is lasting and real. You see changes either immediately or within a few sessions and I truly thank her for her attention and devotion.

After my first session with Michelle, I was blown away! She helped me to realize tension that I was carrying in a body that I was completely unaware of. She guided me in a compassion way and gave me 100% of her presence. I felt safe enough to let go of the gripping in my body. Afterwards was able to breathe more deeply and the pain in my belly started to dissipate. For days after the session, I continues to feel more at ease in my movements and my digestion improved drastically. I am excited to continue working with Michelle!
