Born and bred in Czech Republic, I have spent the last 29 years across the ocean, making new friends, diving into the exploration of my soul and humanity, traveling, making mistakes, learning new things and studying anything related to holistic health, wellness and spirituality. New York City has been my nest for over a quarter of century, and it still doesn’t stop to amaze me, even though nature has been calling me more and more…

My Journey

Born to a family of doctors, my mother, my father, my uncle, my grandfather, and who knows who else in the family tree had a proclivity to care about people’s wellness, it came naturally to me to take interest in helping others to feel better. As the rebellious child that I was, I haven’t chosen the path of my parents, I think to their great disappointment, but in a way, I haven’t fell that far from the tree :). My interest in spirituality and metaphysics lead me naturally to the explorations of human spirit, alternative healing, and healthy living .

I have head the incredible privilege to study with, and meet incredible healers, thinkers, and spiritual leaders, as well as work with plethora of clients from all walks of life, from Hollywood stars, Emmy Award winners, and members of United Nations to business owners, young professionals, artists and children. I love what I do, helping people is one of my passions.

That, and that, and that…

My first encounter with alternative healing was in my early twenties, when I was introduced to an energy healer due to a broken nose. At that time, the regime in my country didn’t look favorably on these professions, so you had to know someone who knew someone to be able to get a visit. These were usually people with great gifts and knowledge, as at that time, you didn’t study energy healing, you were simply born with “it”. If you were good and were able to help people, the word spread…  The experience have in a way changed my life, as I have found out, I could feel the subtle energy pretty well, and was recommended to “look into it” or at least that’s what I remember…

So I did..

Starting 1990, I have delved into active studies of holistic therapies, such as energy healing, bodywork, wellness coaching and others. I have established private healing practice in NYC, studied advanced shamanic techniques, taught Reiki and Thai Yoga Bodywork, walked on fire, traveled to exotic places, hosted, studied with, and became friends with the indigenous Maori healers from new Zealand, founded the Institute of Holistic Bodywork, and gave birth to the first NYC premier holistic city guide, HolisticNewYork.com. I have also met  some of my amazing, and influential teachers, namely the curandera and master healer Starr Fuentes, the world renowned Qiong master Robert Peng, and the esteemed Qigong master Mingtong Gu, among others. I am forever grateful to them for sharing their knowledge, wisdom and teaching with me, as well as all the other teachers that have crossed my path and contributed to who I am today, personally and professionally.

Testimonials:

” I have been very lucky to receive healing work from Michaela for over a decade. Her clear energy, her intuition, her perception and her humor have been a great support for me over the years, helping me overcome physical and emotional blocks, and restoring my body to health after a major accident. I deeply appreciate Michaela’s encompassing knowledge, her groundedness, her grace and her dedication to her work and clients. And I can’t have enough of her energy healing work. ” – Dalia Bassiouny, former anchorwoman for United Nations radio, theater professor, playwright and stage director.

“It has been such a pleasure to work with Michaela, she is a truly gifted, compassionate and intuitive healer and bodyworker. I always feel Michaela’s sweet nurturing, supportive energy lift me up even when there is something intense to work through. I feel her kindness, compassion and gentleness as she helps me with her work to go into a new space of opening and releasing blocks, and she always  shares her great depth of wisdom so freely and sweetly. She is a gem and warrior of the LIGHT!!” – Melanie Johl, Private Yoga Instructor, NYC

“Michaela is a truly gifted healer on all planes of being. She has always been able to help me regain my balance physically, emotionally or spiritually, using whatever method of healing is appropriate for that visit. Whether it is Reiki, bodywork or BodyTalk, Michaela also draws on her highly developed intuition and connection to the Source to provide the best healing session possible. She approaches her work with grace, an open heart and sensitivity. I always leave more relaxed and little bit lighter, and often with new understanding of some aspect of myself. With Michaela’s help, I am able to release  and experience shifts in energy patterns that are no longer appropriate. She is a blessing in my life! ” – Wendy Ginsberg, business owner, NYC

“I went through an intense moment in my life, we all have one! I started to work with Michaela few times a week. She guided me deep inside of me and made me reconnect with my positive energy. It made me feel deeply calm, and at the same time alert to my feelings. Her healing work dissipated the heaviness from my body. Even now, I often find myself trying to retrieve these moments and what I have learned from them… it is a memory that I cherish. Michaela is a sensitive, special person, I am glad our paths crossed. ” – Lina Palotta, Photographer, Professor, Rome, Italy

“Michaela, Has been over the 10 years such an amazing saving grace. Being a native New Yorker and working in the Design industry has taken its toll over the years.  Here healing hands, methods and guidance has helped me grow in leaps and bounds over tenure time I have been working with her. Healing begins “with you” and by working on myself with Michaela’s healing hands I have become a better person to everyone in my life including myself. The years of healing that she has provided has also lead me to grow large interest in healing and continue on to study and be a student in herbal healing methods, Reiki, and other modalities. I am truly grateful and recommend Michaela to all who are open to exploring different ways healing the body, mind and spirit. She is very approachable, open, and honest  with all she works with which is truly invaluable.” – Sarah A., Senior Interior Designer, NYC
