My name is Michelle Russell, a private Holistic Health and Healing Touch Practitioner located in Duluth, MN.

My personal journey through a series of health challenges with no answers from conventional medicine led me to explore the world of integrative and alternative health care options. The answers and healing that I discovered as a result of my exploration, research, and most importantly application made a profound change in my health and well-being.

My personal life-changing experience inspired me to begin a career and a life dedicated to helping others live more healthfully.

I received my training and certification as a Holistic Health Practitioner from the Global College of Natural Medicine and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. In addition, I have completed the Healing Touch certification program through Healing Beyond Borders. This program is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses’ Association. My EFT practitioner clinical certification is through EFT Universe. I am committed to my professional development with ongoing education and certification training.

I look forward to serving those on a quest for wellness by supporting their health care goals with holistic and integrative therapies.

I started Level 1 training 5 years ago in 2012. I was diagnosed with lupus in 2011 and was looking for something I could do because I was in so much pain all the time that I couldn't continue doing physical jobs like I've always done. I didn't know what to expect but a friend highly recommended I try Healing Touch. I fell in love right away! The weekend of training felt more like going to a spa and I never wanted to leave! I felt so amazing! I knew that if I felt this good, others will too. So I continued on until certification in 2016 and I currently work out of my home in Freeport, MN. I have returning clients every month and I'm looking to add another location in St. Cloud to be more convenient for other clients as well.

Alyssa first began her journey into metaphysics in childhood. Later, in 2002, she graduated from massage therapy school in Asheville, NC. In 2006, she began training in Healing Touch energy therapy and became certified in 2011. Alyssa also attended classes in NC to be ordained as an Alliance of Divine Love minister to further deepen her spiritual awareness.

Alyssa relocated to the Greenville SC area in the fall of 2011, moving her practice to the upstate. She tailors every healing session to her clients' individual needs, and often combines massage with energy therapy. She enjoys educating the public on the benefits of energy therapy and often teaches classes and workshops.
