Somatic Movement Coach

Michelle worked on transferring my site from Wix to WordPress. She really listened to my needs and we had regular meetings to review the work every step of the way. She communicated with me regularly and it was super easy to have access to her. And her overall energy was calming and reassuring. She answered all my questions promptly and dealt with website issues even post launch. I'm so happy with Michelle's work and I know that I will work with her again for future design needs.
