Having been diagnosed with bipolar in 1998, Michelle spent the next 12 years on a roller coaster of manic and depressive episodes with therapists, doctors, psychotropic meds, hospitalizations, and suicide attempts. She was at her wit’s end and felt humiliated, hopeless and lost. In particular, she was devastated by the toll it took on her family-her husband and small children.

Finally, she and her psychiatrist found a solution that became a turning point in her story. She began the process of developing an integrated method for understanding this devastating disorder and successfully treating it.

Michelle advocates for a radical shift in the treatment of bipolar to facilitate healing and recovery. She is all about accepting responsibility for yourself and overcoming the victimhood mentality that so often accompanies bipolar disorder. She teaches an integrated, research-based treatment model that addresses the underlying causes of bipolar symptoms and allows people to heal.

3 Top Tips

Our current treatment model for treating bipolar (and mental illness in general) is a disease-centered model and is keeping people sick.

Bipolar disorder does not need to be a life-sentence. It is possible to heal if you identify the cause of your symptoms and apply a research-based, integrated treatment plan.

You can choose to manage and cope with your bipolar symptoms, or you can choose to recover and heal. The choice is yours; you don’t have to be a victim for the rest of your life.

Look after yourself and live with intention!
