For decades this work shaped my life.
When I needed it most. I was grateful every single day that it had.

I am Michelle Kronenberg a certified yoga therapist, somatic practitioner, and senior teacher with over 30 years of experience guiding people back into a relationship with their body.
For most of my life, these practices were my devotion. I trained across many yoga styles and hands-on healing, bodywork, energy work, restorative practices and somatic disciplines, including Somatic Experiencing®, breathwork, and iRest® Yoga Nidra, influenced by incredible teachers along the way. It was Iyengar yoga and the teachings of Dona Holleman that most deeply shaped how I teach. Over time I wove these disciplines together into an approach that is always alive, always present, meeting whatever is here, in myself and in those I work with.
Then came a moment that asked me to trust all of it completely.
When I experienced a brain aneurysm, everything I had devoted my life to was quietly waiting for me. The steadiness, the self-compassion, the deep nervous system awareness I had cultivated over decades, it was all there. Not as knowledge. As lived experience, I could actually rely on.
It carried me through. And in doing so it took my understanding of this work to a place I could never have reached any other way. I came out the other side not just grateful knowing, in a deeply profound way, what it truly means to heal oneself.
My deepest intention for everyone I work with is that they leave with clarity, greater self awareness and a deeper connection to themselves. And with the awareness and tools to turn inwards on their own to find that place of calm, groundedness and ease whenever they need it.
This isn't something I give them. It's something they discover was already there, waiting to be heard.
My formal training reflects the same breadth as my practice. I hold a master's degree in spiritual psychology and am a certified yoga therapist and e-ryt 500. I have trained through UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute, iRest yoga nidra, shiatsu, healing touch and reflexology. I have also worked clinically at the California Pain Medicine Center with patients navigating complex chronic pain conditions.
But what I bring to every session goes beyond any certificate. It is the accumulation of decades of study, practice and lived experience — all of it in service of one thing. Helping you find your way back to yourself.
When the body feels safe, healing begins.
