Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
My mission is to walk in beauty, to live in tune with the cosmic rhythms of the earth and sky, and provide healing tools for others to do the same. I restore harmony by helping people attune and connect to their own inner wisdom through sacred rituals and healing work.
This is what I teach:
Using intuitive healing, shamanic healing tones, mantras, music, and meditation, I help my clients use their voices to feel more powerful, aligned, and clear, and learn how to use the voice as an instrument to heal themselves and transmit healing love to others.
Michelle Coutinho is a healer, songstress, and empowerment coach who helps conscious women and men attune to a deeper resonance with their voice, presence, and own their personal power. She is the creator of Vocal Alchemy and Embodiment, a process that rewires the energetic nervous system using the voice as a gateway to the subtle body to create a sense of lightness and expansion that releases stored trauma from the mental and emotional body and heals the psyche on a multi dimensional level.
She teaches transformational workshops, co-creates ceremonial spaces, and offers deeply connected heart-centered embodiment practices such as yoga, sound healings, and sacred song circles to create a sense of True Alignment.
Her work weaves the threads of many ancient lineages such as Tibetan Buddhism, Shamanism, Bhakti Yoga, and Native American wisdom.
Mantra. Music. Medicine.
As a yoga and meditation instructor since 2011, I’ve always been drawn to the profound peace, groundedness, and clarity these practices provide. I see yoga classes as modern-day group rituals and I create a temple-like sanctuary in spaces I lead and guide.
In 2012, I met Ram Dass and attended an Open Heart retreat with Krishna Das, and I started to find my voice - my voice as a healing instrument - through mantra chanting in Kirtan and Bhakti Yoga. As my exploration of the power of chanting mantras from India and Tibet deepened I uncovered many layers of my true self and soul remembrance. Later that same year I started working with shamanic medicine and through those songs and prayers, I discovered ancestral energies hidden within me and began to sing Native American and Amazonian chants.
I believe it is my journey to weave a rich tapestry that draws from these ancient lineages and use song to transmit the healing, love, and wisdom of these paths.
This is the path of the Sacred Warrior -- to teach the truth of universal love that is woven through all religions.
I’ve felt the difference that vocal empowerment work has made in my life, health, energy, and well-being, as well as in clients I have helped to heal and guide into their own healing. Now, I teach others how to use their voices to express and heal themselves through my workshops and private coaching.
When we let go of our fear and constriction and give ourselves permission to embody our truth/voice and share that energy with the world, we clear deeply embedded traumas in the psyche and create space for more beauty to come through us.
I bring in physicality and work with the subtle body in my coaching and workshops, because we don’t just express ourselves vocally —true expression is also energetic.
In my workshops, we will move, sing, drum, stretch our inner beings and outer selves, tune into our chakras, and set intentions to raise our energy for clearer paths ahead.
Welcome to my sacred corner of the internet. I am so grateful you are here.
I know you are ready to become more of who you already are and take another step toward your true path, purpose, and the embodiment of your highest self. This was a large part of my journey of self discovery and it’s an honor to share it with you.
May you always walk in beauty.
Aho. Namaste. And so it is.
In love, light, and warrior spirit,
Michelle
