“It is with so much trust, reverence and honor that I recommend working with Michelle Helfner. Beyond being an amazing practitioner and a gifted space holder, she has a way of sharing her message and teachings that is accessible for a variety of individuals, regardless of where they might be on their personal journey. Michelle works with a broad spectrum of modalities from Shamanic Acupuncture to Cacao and Sound Healing Ceremonies. In her offerings, I have observed her ability to make those around her feel safe and comfortable in a way that holds potential for the deep transformational work that is so needed in our society at this time. I am grateful to know her as a teacher, a student, a sister and a wisdom carrier. If you are interested in spiritual growth, nourishing connection and intuitive healing, I highly recommend seeking Michelle as your guide.”

“I’ve had problems with acute tendinitis in my left hand from playing guitar. This would occur every time I played long sessions limiting my play time to just six hours a day. After one treatment with Michelle involving some strange rocks and acupuncture I was cured…It’s been six months and so far so good. Thanks Michelle.”

“I had four sessions with Michelle Helfner in San Marcos, Guatemala in January 2013.  I experienced a motor vehicle accident 3.5 years earlier it which I received a traumatic brain injury.  I had been struggling with terrible digestive problems for 3.5 years.  During our four sessions, Michelle used a variety of techniques: Acupuncture, energy work, crystal therapy and an herbal prescription.  Looking back, these sessions were the turning point in my digestive recovery.  A few weeks later, my digestive system had improved dramatically. It has continued to improve since then.  I have tried to explain to myself what happened, but it is really something that one needs to experience.  Somehow, the treatment helped my body reconnect with itself.  I  highly recommend Michelle.”

It was and wasn’t my 19th birthday when I found myself on a table in Mexico under the caring loving and knowledgeable hands of Michelle Helfner. She at first spoke with me about my life, my path, and where my body hurt and was blocked. Then she told me just to breathe. So I only breathed and gave my body and my control to her. I could tell things were happening when I felt my muscles contracting and relaxing and then releasing first in tears, which then turned to laughter.
For a time I recall the space between conscious and unconscious thought. Michelle was standing next to me, doing something but I was remembering it instead of experiencing it, as if something like this had happened before. I was in fact sure she was mixing paint to paint vases…which isn’t what she was doing.
After that passed I began to see beautiful colors, purples reds oranges and blues and greens. They at first swirled like clouds and then began to take shape. They were spirals and flowers and stars and each would grow into and out of the other, constantly swirling. I was seeing a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns that I drew afterwards, and though I cannot draw, somehow these shapes I could recreate.
Before yoga teacher training I had lost and regained and lost my voice too many times to be considered important. In the beautiful and sacred space that is Troncones, Mexico I rediscovered my ability to sing my truth truly in the form of arias and songs that a year prior I had given up hope of truly singing again, this is the story I told Michelle before my treatment.
My first meditation , in which I met with a being of light who held me in her glowing energies and I had a voice again, a true and pure one.

Michelle is a gifted shamanic healer. Really, a direct conduit to the divine. A treatment with her can help you work through traumas and stresses of any kind. She is pure magic! I could not recommend a visit with her more.

Michelle holds a beautiful space that allows for opening and deep self-empathy. Her support is rich at both the emotional and energetic level. The emotional processing and conversation that we shared was as gentle and as powerful as the acupuncture treatment she provided me with to help with the multi-day headache I was experiencing. She planted a seed of wisdom and insight that became valuable in my experiences to come, and that I am grateful to have held onto. She’s a loving, caring and powerful healer.

I had a shamanic healing session with Michelle that was so phenomenal it basically changed my life. Michelle listens, is present, and is incredibly intuitive. I highly recommend her to anyone who will listen.

Michelle is a transformational healer. I find her to be an expert at listening, being fully present, and using her tool-kit to heal you in the now. What I adore about her is she is highly approachable, relatable and human. She helps me release stale patterns that block me from success. I consider her to be a true medicine woman, a healer and an expert in her craft. Every time I am in Troncones, getting a cacao ceremony or healing session with Michelle is a must for me!
