We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michelle Larson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michelle below.
Michelle, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Right after college I was eager to start my career. Working 3 part-time jobs, building up that resume & making sure that I was gaining enough experience to really “make it” in that profession. I was working in the field of Recreation & Wellness with the big dream that people will start healthy habits early in life and continue them throughout their adulthood.
I really had a big mission- to create a safe space for people to feel well, move their bodies and ultimately stay healthy.
However, it was shortly after I experienced my own decline in health that my professional field no longer felt relevant. I was the most active person that I knew. I was eating “healthy” (for what I knew to be so at that time) and was camping, hiking, running, playing soccer & broomball competitively – multiple nights per week, and still was actually struggling to maintain any sort of energy balance. Most of my symptoms had been things that I was experiencing since childhood, so I truly never even believed that there was anything “wrong”.
I was guided to this little holistic health office in small town Minnesota where I was introduced to Muscle Testing. Through the first 6-months of doing a program I was actually starting to feel some relief in my body that I never even knew was possible. It was incredible and I was so eager to learn how to do this, so that I could help others, too. Not yet sure how this was going to fit into my life, but feeling this deep pull to lean-in and learn.
I got trained in muscle testing in the Spring of 2016 and then that whole summer took one-day off per week from my job to start working inside this holistic health office. It was so expansive and I was feeling that I was finally in my purpose. My day-job was draining me, and I longed so deeply to be serving my clients while not inside the health office.
That fall, I had to make a choice: Leave the full-time job, with amazing benefits, PTO & giving up on my perfect resume – or – staying at the job and giving up on the dream of Muscle Testing. This was no easy decision. If I left the day-job, we would be without “insurance” and my income would go from consistent to commission based & solely dependent on how many clients I would be able to see. Yet, there was just something inside of my soul that was screaming for me to take this leap.
It was inauthentic for me to be anything but a healer. Guiding people through programs that actually heal their bodies. And on top of that it was just the beginning of insane warp-speed personal development & a spiritual awakening. It was like the rock holding me down and now without it I could actually reach a new level of impact for the community.
That big leap was 8-years ago now and I am still in awe at what a difference THAT decision had made for me. It wasn’t easy. The money wasn’t always there. There was a lot of tension, stress & discouraging moments. However, they all led up to this really big vision for the world and impact on other, and for that? I wouldn’t change a thing!
Michelle, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am an intuitive energy healer, psychic medium & holistic practitioner. I found this industry through my own personal struggles both in health & in energy/spirituality. My health was completely plummeting despite taking good care of myself & I truly believe that through muscle testing I was able to save my life and allow my to sustain an active lifestyle. As an energy healer, I was living in a haunted house & had far too many experiences that were absolutely paranormal to avoid – which led to a warp-speed spiritual awakening, a discovering of my true gifts & psychic medium abilities.
Through both of these modalities, I am able to guide my clients to fully understanding what is going on at a root cause level. On a physical front, I can identify what is making you feel unwell in your body & how we can restore your body to optimal health through supplementation & cellular healing. On the spiritual/energetic levels, I can guide you to understand your psychic gifts, clear generational trauma, energetic imprints/connections & entity removal.
I believe that what sets me a part from all practitioner’s & energy healers is that I am able to see the whole self – the mind, the body & the spirit – to determine the most effective & efficient way for you to heal. I combine these skills in my practice, and my clients not only experience deep healing on all levels of self – but they are actually empowered through it, and the healing sticks. It is not a quick fix with a short win. It’s true healing & salvation.
I am most proud to say that I have guided hundreds of clients back into their life through the modalities that I have. I have an incredibly strong connection and truly see things different than any other practitioner or psychic that you’ve ever worked with. I have profound wisdom on galactic history, a love for all things starseed & am a total research junkie. I am always advancing my knowledge in the field for better care of my clients & how to move them through healing protocols.
My brand primarily focuses on spiritually aware or curious women who know that there is more to their lives than just the normal day-in and day-out. I am an expander on so many levels. Guiding my clients back to themselves, their authenticity and the truth for their lives. Ensuring that they KNOW they are whole & complete inside & out, while just experiencing some blockages in their field.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
I think the most helpful thing for succeeding in my field is certainty & curiosity. As an advanced energy healer & practitioner, I have had many many iterations of my work as I’ve grown, and now am in a position where I am assisting in teaching these practices. Through these opportunities, I have met so many budding healers who are so stuck in their own self-limiting “boxes”.
In both psychic development & holistic muscle testing we are taught systems. Basically, step 1-14, if you would, where you start here, do these exact steps and then end here. No wiggle room. No questions. Systems. While this is a great framework to start new healers off & to create a model that produces similar results – it just isn’t a long-term solution as you gain confidence and certainty in the work. As far too option you will not get the answers or solutions for your clients that make the difference. Like finding a needle in a haystack. You could setup a strict system for how to move through each layer of hay, but ultimately that isn’t going to consistently lead you to the needle.
So as a healer, I have found that whenever I would “stuck” in that framework, I would have to become very curious & open up the dialogue a bit more. Which lead to many rabbit holes – but all of which – had the solution that made a pivotal difference for my clients healing. The key however, is to have certainty at each step of the way. You cannot go down a rabbit hole and then get cold feet. As you rarely will find your way back out let alone any solutions for the client.
Certainty & Curiosity are the perfect checks and balances, in my experience. The certainty allows you to stand in your strength and discern what is worth exploring. The curiosity keeps you flowing in intuition and better serves your clients on their path.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
One of the main things that has helped build my reputation in the market is that I am always rooted in Truth. I often joke that If you wanted a hype session or a rainbows & butterflies kind of healing that I am not the healer for you. I have an exceptional way at delivering this truth, however, as I don’t just bring down the hot & heavy truth and then allow you to sit there in despair.
Instead, we get to lay it all out there & then effectively create solutions to empower you. Truth can hurt, but it is the only way to truly access your power. Once you have been revealed the truth about your health, your soul or your energy then you start to feel connected to your innate ability to heal. Your body was created to heal itself – we just have a lot of interferences that get in the way of that. Your soul? It is INCREDIBLE. Just again, has a lot of attachments that hold you back.
Therefore, with this anchor into Truth, clients have deeply profound healing when they work with me. Unique from any other healing they’ve experienced before and that has a frequency that calls in those who are ready to really experience this.
