For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the nature of consciousness, perception, and healing. Long before becoming a licensed psychotherapist, I found myslef asking questions about the relationship between mind, body, energy and human experience. That curiosity eventually led me through years of clinical training in trauma therapy while continuing to explore meditation, energy healing, remote viewing, consciousness research, and anomalous experiences.

Today those paths are no longer separate. They have become one integrated approach that informs every aspect of my work.

That lifetime of curiosity led me to pursue rigorous clinical training alongside continued exploration of consciousness and healing. My goal had never been to choose between science and curiosity, but to allow each to inform the other. The result is an approach grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy while remaining open to the complexities of human experience that are not always easily explained.

Professional background

Michelle has been in practice since 2015. She began her clinical career on the acute unit of a psychiatric hospital where she remained for 2 years; she then competed her clinical training in the outpatient department of the hospital for 3 years serving the PHP/IOP programs. Once licensure was obtained she moved on from work at the hospital onto residential treatment center (RTC) setting in Los Angeles. Here she was initially employed as a primary therapist while she completed her clinical training in EMDR treatment and attaining master level training in Reiki energy healing. This led to Michelle becoming the resident trauma specialist shifting to contract work within the company providing EMDR, Somatic therapy and Reiki healing to residents struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression among many other diagnoses. After practicing EMDR and somatic therapies for 5 years in private practice, and at the residential treatment center, she continues to expand and integrate training in healing practices that are globally inspired including shamanic techniques (like soul retrievals), mediumship and remote viewing into her practice.

For more than six years, I have served as a sensitive with a local paranormal investigation team. Those experiences deepened my curiosity about perception, consciousness, and anomalous phenomena while reinforcing the inportance of careful observation, documentation, and maintaining a scienctific mindset.Rather than pulling me away form my clinical work, these experiences broadened the questions I ask and continue to influence the way I approach healing, consciousness and human potential.

The evolution of RaQuotient

Over time I began noticing consistent patterns that extended beyond traditional psychotherapy. Clients reported remarkably similar sensory experiences during energy work. My own observations continued to raise questioons that conventional modles did not fully address. Rather that abandoning science, I became increasingly interested in careful observation, documentation, the role of musical training, and following the data wherever it led. RaQuotient emerged from the intersection of trauma therapy, somatic psychology, consciousness research. energy healing, and years of direct observation.

RaQuotient is not a destination but an ongoing exploration. My commitment is remain curious, observe carefully, document consistently, and allow both science and lived experience to inform the next step.
