Meet Michelle Moon

Michelle Moon is a Holistic Coach, Somatic Healer, and Wellness Educator with over 23 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with their body's innate healing wisdom. Born in Korea and based in New York, Michelle blends Eastern healing traditions with modern somatic practices to support healing of the mind, body, and spirit.

Her holistic approach integrates somatic healing, energy healing, acupressure, breathwork, nervous system regulation, intuitive life coaching, and holistic health coaching. She works with the body's interconnected systems—including the fascia, gut-brain connection, meridian pathways, joints, and emotional body—to support stress recovery, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.

Michelle specializes in helping high-performers, professionals, caregivers, and purpose-driven individuals who feel overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, disconnected, or stuck despite outward success. Through personalized healing sessions, nervous system support, and embodied healing practices, she helps clients release tension, restore balance, and create lasting transformation from the inside out.

Her work is rooted in the belief that true healing occurs when the body feels safe enough to soften, regulate, and heal naturally.

"I highly recommend Alex Rivas to anyone with a young student-athlete in their home. Having coached him for three years, I witnessed his unmatched athletic ability, leadership, work ethic, and integrity. Alex excelled on the field, in the classroom, and as a trusted leader. The saying 'nobody is perfect' might not apply to Alex—he was perfect to me."

"The program blew my expectations out of the water. In just a few months, my power and speed improved to a whole new level. The mindset lessons also helped me see things from new perspectives. Anyone who joins can find something to improve, whether it’s physical or mental."

“I’ve been feeling so open and aligned the last couple days! I went to festival yesterday and felt a little off around so many people, but did some grounding breathwork and was able to tune back into me. Definitely still feeling a little sore worked some new muscles. Overall feeling very aligned with myself since the class. I am curious to see how I feel after consistent days of practice.
