Meet Michéle
Born in Cologne, I grew up in an internationally shaped environment where culture, art, sport, politics and entrepreneurship were present from an early age. For over four decades, music, voice, sound, art and salons shaped my life. From the 1980s to the 2000s I performed on stage, among other things, as a singer (jazz and chanson).
A vocal studies programme at the Rhineland Conservatory gave me qualifications in vocal, speech and breathing technique. Studies in art and music history as well as certification at Christie’s New York deepened my sense of the resonance and vibration inherent in every form of creation.
Close collaboration with artists, my own salon formats and the curatorial design of occasionally large exhibitions and cultural projects – including major events such as the German Acting Award, concerts with exceptional pianists such as David Helfgott, and a music festival I directed for many years, “Music in the Houses of the City” – further developed this path.
Sound, voice, breath and the arts in all their forms – which have much to do with vibration and resonance – have always been and remain my central tools. From 2008 onwards I deliberately deepened my experience at international institutions: as a certified Sound Practitioner at the Peter Hess Institute, as an instructor in voice, breathing and relaxation techniques, in Matrix Rhythm Therapy, and as an International Health Coach in Energy Medicine with the Four Winds Society (Alberto Villoldo). International study trips to traditional and modern healers as well as indigenous cultures in South America, Alaska, Indonesia, New Zealand and other countries enriched my knowledge and my tools.
The intensive accompaniment of seriously ill people and many years of work on the ground in Afghanistan – with ministries, embassies, war widows, schools, orphanages and hospitals – shaped my approach to crisis and resilience. In Berlin I was co-founder of the Cosmopolitan and Metropolitan School.
Today I live in Montreux and work through private and group sessions as well as workshops, masterclasses or private sanctuaries, up to lectures. What I have learned and experienced, I pass on. I am convinced that every human being possesses their own individual technique, which is to be discovered together.
