About the Owner:

Michelle Konkle

I grew up in rural Sauk City and developed a love for the natural world. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Botany from the University of Madison-Wisconsin. After 30+ years of working as a pharmacy technician, I have been increasing my knowledge of plants as medicine. I finished the 2-year Western Herbalism course through the Midwest School of Herbal Studies and have been working on further continuing education in herbalism. I have been advising in the capacity of on-staff herbalist for Ballweg Family Pharmacy in Prairie du Sac.

I was trained in the art of Reiki healing to the Master Level by Carol Swanson, a gifted medical intuitive and Reiki practitioner in Janesville, Wisconsin. I also gained my certification as a TRE® (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) provider through Red Beard Somatic Therapy in Madison, Wisconsin, and I am registered through TRE® for All.

Recently I have taken the training and gained certification for Certified Peer Specialist with the State of Wisconsin. This has brought me a deeper understanding to assist people to find their own values, meaning, and goals. For people with more difficult issues, I would like to walk along side them on their journey, so that my lived experience in mental health challenges and relational trauma can be a beacon of hope that recovery is possible.

I use my diverse set of experiences and trainings to bring a holistic approach to my sessions with clients. Each session is tailored to the individual person. I believe that when working with stress symptoms, pain, and dysregulation, it is important to access the wisdom of the mind-body connection. We can gently befriend the body and have compassion for ourselves in our difficulties. I would like to offer the gentle stance of understanding and support, where connection with another can bring healing to the soul.

I look forward to working with you on your healing journey.
