Michelle is an author, illustrator, and freelance writer. Just a few short years ago, she was a successful accountant stressed to the max, longing to spend more time with her family. Working with the tools in Freeing the Butterfly helped her rediscover her passion for life.

“I absolutely adore this beautiful book. It’s part self-care manual, part guide to healing, part journal, and it is so gorgeous. I’m the kind of person who is really nit-picky about design and aesthetic appearance of books. There is nothing that makes me happier than a beautiful book. Freeing the Butterfly definitely satisfied my longing for elegance and sophisticated simplicity. Love, love, love it.”
