holistic esthetics and authentic self-expression

My name is Michal, and I am a 26-year-old from the United States with a life long passion for health and wellness. Back in 2009 I began a lifestyle blog called Lil Earth Muffin to document my own healing journey with food and self-care. As my readership grew, the topics I wrote about expanded to include recipes, body image, and all areas of my life truthfully. Writing for me as a young introvert was incredibly healing and I will carry that passion with me for the rest of my life.

In 2012 I decided to leave my University and follow the call of being a healer and pursued teaching fitness classes full time. After much success, I dually began my corporate career in the coffee industry where I stayed until 2015. In that period I also became a certified group fitness instructor and holistic lifestyle coach studying at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. In late 2015 I began to feel the same pull I had before, and left the corporate world and shifted my focus to my inner self. I spent my time meditating, studying plant medicine, aromaology, and doing soul work.

I studied esthetics at Casal Aveda Institute, and I graduated in the spring of 2017. I am a licensed Managing Esthetician with a focus on Holistic Healing. My licensure allows me to help men and women practice self-care with body adornment, facials, waxing, and massage. Currently I am working as an Esthetics Educator at the Casal Aveda Institute. I spend my free time reading, writing, and running my small-batch organic skin care company Guided Compass.

I am passionate about getting the most out of this life.
