I count Michelle as one of the greatest blessings of my life. At age 46, I was diagnosed with a decades-long eating disorder that had grown progressively worse. Over the past year and a half, she has comprised a significant and ongoing part of my healing journey. With pure joy, empathy, patience, and knowledge, Michelle’s guidance has transformed me in body, mind, and spirit. Her therapeutic modalities offer lasting and measurable results:
90-Minute Hybrid Practice
I treat myself to Michelle’s hybrid practice every week. Her magical combination of stretching, gentle movement, meditation (massage and/or Yoga Nidra), breathwork, sauna-ice bath-hot tub, sound bowls, tea, music, and conversation both rejuvenates and relaxes me. She has taught me that I can regulate my nervous system, remain present during distress, and set intentions to manifest a meaningful life. Michelle’s hybrid practice is everything I’ve needed but never knew existed.
Personal Training
As my personal trainer, Michelle meets with me once weekly, assigns my daily workouts, and checks in everyday via texts that offer gentle encouragement when I flounder and enthusiastic pride when I show up for myself. I have never enjoyed—or sustained—a daily exercise practice like the one I’ve established with her. Michelle has taught me to be consistent, drop from my head into my body, and incorporate strength training and stretching with my cardio. Doing so has yielded quantitative success: I’ve dropped pounds and inches, gained muscle, and greatly improved concerning numbers in my bloodwork. My doctor is thrilled, and I’m in awe!
Group and Retreat Sessions
Michelle is authentically herself, both in our private sessions and with groups. I’ve enjoyed group hybrid practices, and I’ve participated in her art-, candle-, and aromatherapy-making workshops. I also attended a 3-day women’s retreat co-led by Michelle. In all of these settings, she deftly guides us while also participating, sharing, and embracing her own vulnerabilities alongside us. Wanting my students to experience her energy and therapeutics, I also hired her to lead a graduate student workshop at the University of Houston. The class loved her!
Thank you, Michelle! I’ll be a client and friend for life.

I work remotely since C-19 & wrecked my shoulder from working in a non-ergonomic set-up for the first two years. At 63, I’ve learned I simply don’t bounce back like I use to and had become too sedentary. Fast forward to today, I’m so grateful to have Michelle’s guidance & motivation to help me heal from the pain and improve my physical form. She’s such a good listener & I appreciate that she doesn’t discount my concerns, no matter how small. When we’re together, Michelle uses many modalities such as yoga, meditation, physical exercise, ice baths, whirlpool & infrared sauna. Thank you Michelle; it’s a wonderful journey I intend to continue.
Highly recommend!"

"I’ve known and worked with Michelle for years. She is an amazing healer and person. Her blend of physical training, yoga therapy, pilates, and breath-work will take your body and mind to new and improved places you may not have known possible. I’ve seen her do this with many others from all walks of life, including myself and can’t recommend her enough to anyone who is seeking an improved sustainable mind body experience. If you have the opportunity to give yourself this gift I assure you will not regret it and it may be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself. I always leave her feeling better about myself, life, and the world in general. Thanks Michelle for all your help over the years, my mind and body could never thank you enough."

If you don’t already know, Michelle “Meechy” is literally one of the best people I know. Then you take her huge heart, her energy and her passion for what she does and put it into a business plan and you have MAGIC! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the mind and body and is able to create a gym/workout space that is comforting and relaxing at the same time. I don’t ever feel pressure or judgement that I’m not doing an exercise correctly. I feel at home with her as my trainer and I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a fresh start back into the workout routine or even a veteran gym rat that maybe wants to try something new. She creates a workout plan catered to your specific needs and body type. In the past month I have seen a big difference in myself/body and I couldn’t be happier about the results. 10 out of 10!!!!

I have known the Founder, Michelle aka Meechi for over 15 years and I’ve had the honor of watching her grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. She has dedicated her life to growing and living her passion and strives to help others do the same. She has spent many years learning and developing her wellness programs. I have the honor of seeing her in action with our clients at Serenity Light Recovery as our Holistic Wellness Director. She has grown our wellness department by leaps and bounds and the clients are thriving in her classes. I have also had the honor of working with her personally over many years. Our last session was after giving birth to my daughter. Meechi helped me regain my strength after being bedridden for 5 months and then recovering from emergency c-section. Not only did we work on my physical self, she incorporated ways for me to work on myself mentally and spiritually. Her Mantra practice is a powerful experience! I love how she combines practices to customize your personal program…. Power lifting, strength training, yoga, meditation and mantras!! She was right by my side cheering me on and knew exactly what I needed, when I needed it. She has so much to offer! Her energy is contagious and her LIGHT is invigorating. We are resilient and powerful beings and Meechi knows exactly how to make you be your best self! I highly recommend her and her services to all who need them."

“I recently did a 90 minute hybrid training session. Meechi is very knowledgeable and her energy creates a safe environment to find and explore your mind body connection. Her calm, soothing nature allows for guidance through mindfulness meditation, to respect where and what you are feeling in that present moment, without judgement. The ice and heat was an exceptional experience, as I feel I gained more self awareness into areas in my life that may need more attention. I came into session with much held tension and a lot of chatter in my mind. I left feeling lighter, more positive, and in a better mind set. She also taught me unique breathing techniques that I have already incorporated into my daily routine, I use this as a way to check in with myself and foster an environment of mind body connection. I will be continuing hybrid training on a regular basis. I would highly recommend working with Meechi.”

Yes it's December and yes we're are in a 60 degree pool! And no we arent crazy! I was telling him about water contrast therapy that I experienced at an amazing women's retreat a few weeks ago. It's really had a profound effect on me. And the scientist in me of course had to do some research in the biological and neurological effects it has on a person. I knew it was beneficial as lots of professional athletes use it to help with pain and recovery. I found a lot of articles related to that but not many on the neurobiological benefits. I did find a good article that described it which led me to think how good this could be for pans and pandas and lyme kids his shit our kids get damages the brain, so part of the treatment also needs to include repairing the brain, recreating those neural pathways, synapses, and promote growth of new brain cells, which this water contrast therapy does! Along with all of that it can also help regulate those with anxiety which many of our kids have. It helps them learn breath control under stressed conditions (very cold water) and also helps their body learn to adapt, adjust, and calm itself quickly in a stressed situation. So when they do have an event that causes them high anxiety the body remembers and adjusts to relax itself. So long winded post just to say I am grateful for learning how to do this and continuing to do it and learn more as I go and have hope that it will help my boy also. He was very excited to participate and wants to continue. He really is a warrior and an inspiration as he continues to recover, grow, and be the best he can be. forever grateful to @blit.wellness

Warning do not attempt to do this water contrast therapy if you have high blood pressure or other major health issues before consulting your doctor. My son is in remission and healthy so its ok for him.

I have personally experienced just what amazing things Meechi can produce in a person! She is hands down on of the best yoga instructors, workout instructors I have ever had the pleasure to work with and I am completely looking forward to working with her virtually!!!! Please be sure to inquire with her!!!

I did personal training with Meechi for a few years. She not only helped me develop a plan to meet my goals- she did the work right by my side!
Additionally, I had the privilege of working by her side as a therapist teaching trauma and body work.
She is intelligent, passionate, creative, and hard working! I can’t recommend her enough and I can’t wait to work by her side again one day soon.

I was having a rough morning and couldn't wait to get to my first session with Michelle. I was nervous because I've never done anything like her hybrid session before. I'm so glad I went. It changed my entire mood for the day. She got to know me and what I was wanting to achieve and she really helped me get there. Michelle helped me step out of my comfort zone with the ice plunge. She helped me stretch and activate my lower half since I sit behind a desk all day. She also helped me achieve a different frame of mind for the rest of the day. The rest of my day, even though there were hiccups, went calmly. I didn't get frustrated or flustered. I can't wait for my next session.

Prepare for an integrative empowering wellness experience that is not just a session, but a profound rediscovery of self.
In the approach of my session, Meech (BLIT founder and practitioner) expertly guided me through a customized menu of wellness services. Meech is more than an wellness or yoga expert; she is a deeply knowledgeable, intuitive, joyfully authentic, and genuinely kind guide whose confident yet calm trustworthy encouraging energy creates an utterly safe and secure environment. From the moment you begin, she holds a space for you to slow down, disconnect from the world's demands, and intentionally connect with yourself on the deepest level.
My 90-minute hybrid session was an extraordinary journey through a personalized menu of wellness services, each one a masterclass in restorative healing. The experience began with some centering, breathing and an intention setting before embarking on an incredibly unique experience with the pilates reformer; under Meechi's highly encouraging and respectful guidance, it became a powerful tool for rebuilding my body's foundation. The focus on controlled, precise movements helped correct muscle imbalances and improve my posture and alignment. She helped me use the right level of resistance to build strength and lean muscle without high impact or strain on my joints, thus teaching my body to move more efficiently. This was seamlessly followed by a session on an innovative vibration plate, a tool that expertly enhanced circulation, lymphatic drainage, and promoted deep muscle activation in the most effortless way imaginable in a very short amount of time.
But wait there's more!!
The next part of my wellness session was a deeply meditative and resounding dive into zen using sound bowls, the ethereal vibrations washing over me and instantly quieting any remaining chatter in my mind all while in a safe cocoon created under a lightly weighted blanket deep in a massage chair. The therapeutic effects continued with a science-based infrared sauna, which provided a gentle yet potent warmth that melted away layers of held tension, replenishing the skin and detoxing my body.
Of course, no experience would be complete without the ever popular cold plunge!
The invigorating cold plunge gave my body the added reset by triggering a powerful flood of feel-good hormones that enhance mood, focus, and energy. This therapeutic 'wonder shock' significantly reduces inflammation and muscle soreness, accelerating physical recovery and building mental resilience. Naturally, Meech respectfully held space for me and allowed me to process emotions without judgment during my cold plunge.
Meech provided insightful, science-based explanations throughout, solidifying my trust in each modality and cultivating a menu perfectly suited for my needs. The quality and value of every single service were, without question, exceptional. She is an absolute delightful joy to be around and a consummate professional. I arrived feeling a little wired mentally and physically stressed, but I departed feeling nothing short of liberated. My body felt profoundly lighter, my spirit was filled with a newfound joy and positive energy, and my mind was finally free. If you are even considering booking a wellness session, do not hesitate—Meechi is unequivocally the best choice you can make. This isn't just wellness; it's a recalibration of your mind, body, and spirit.

Where do I start!? I have now had the absolute pleasure of getting to know Meechi over the last few years and am continually blown away by how deeply intentional her work is. It's more than healing practices, breath work and contrast therapies. It's a warm cup of tea brewed with love and sitting next to a friend; a soul sister, who wants to help you navigate your own limitations around healing generational wounds that are wreaking havoc on you mentally, spiritually, and physically. It's her deep and personal understanding of navigating trauma on the body that allows her to hold her clients through big break throughs and peaceful transitions within our nervous system.
I have been blessed with group settings and 1:1 sessions with Meechi and I have always walked away with more clarity, passion and tranquility in my body.
Please, do yourself a favor and book a session with this light worker! You will not regret it!
With all my love, Katia.

Meech was a bright light and calming energy in my darkest hours.
She says in her post that she meets you where you’re at, and she truly does, but she also has this rare ability to see you. Not the version weighed down by your battles, but the one waiting on the other side of them.
It’s been years, but seeing her post today reminded me how much her work can change lives. I’d be doing a disservice if I didn’t share the post.
If any part of what she offers speaks to you, or if you’re ready to face what’s holding you back but don’t know where to begin, reach out.
Her emails below, or if that feels like too much, message me and I’ll help you find the words. Become the person you know you can be, or start exploring who that person might look like.
You’re worth it, and so is reaching out to her.

Working with Michelle has been nothing short of marvelous and magnificent. Whether in her private yoga therapy sessions or her hybrid group classes, she brings an energy that is both grounding and deeply uplifting. There’s a powerful wisdom in the way she guides you. Her words, her presence, and her intuitive understanding of what your body and mind need in each moment are remarkable.
She creates a space that feels safe, sacred, and full of possibility. Every session left me feeling stronger, more centered, and more connected to myself and to something greater. Her strength and calm radiate outward, reminding everyone around her of their own inner power.
f you’re looking for someone who blends skill, spirit, and genuine care, Meech is truly a gift. I can’t recommend her enough. What she offers is not just yoga, it’s transformation.
