I have experienced sessions with hundreds of healers and counselors in my life,and have found myself over and over again making comparisons to Misha. Misha has a rare ability to follow the movements of the heart, spirit, and body, and meet the entirety of a person with unflinching welcome and love. From a place of deep acceptance, she connects to the gift of one's emotions, thoughts, and deepest intent and sets the stage to creatively unwrap it with you! Her profound presence and understanding of energetic relationships can disarm struggle and almost effortlessly open opportunities for living from greater self-love.
Working with Misha has meant having a spiritual and energetic companion along the bumpy roads of sexuality, relationship, work, creativity, and authentic expression. My life is more fun, colorful, and loving than ever before ~ I am the woman I am today through Misha's companionship on my journey. (It's like hanging out somewhere between a playground and a mother's womb!) -N.S., Santa Cruz, CA, 2010 Misha is a powerful and gifted healer, and the qualities that she embodies
and brings to the world are extraordinary. First, and foremost among them, is compassion, which is rooted in her profound capacity for acceptance of self and others. To this foundation, Misha brings a quality and depth of listening that is, in itself, a transformational space. She knows how to hear what people say and, from that, very quickly understand their deepest intentions and desires.
Misha brings love and consciousness to everything she does, and these qualities make her an incredible guide and coach. My experience has been that she helps reflect you back to yourself, at the deepest level, and then compassionately assists you in letting go of all the things that are in between you and that deepest expression of self. I highly recommend working with her. -G.J., San Rafael, CA, 2010 |

In Misha's presence, I feel fully seen,my soul illumined by the light of her deep wisdom and fierce compassion. She manages to reach beyond whatever construct I have of myself, of my issues, into the heart of what Is and then hold space for me to breathe and "be with" a deeper truth. There is a sphere around Misha that lightly, yet palpably holds the container for transformation. Vibrating from that sphere, healing is clear and easy.

My experience of Misha facilitating a (very intense and charged) groupconversation could not have been better. She expertly modeled presence and empathy, tracked the emotional and energetic tone of all involved, held awareness of time, and created a very safe container for a difficult discussion. I was deeply moved and inspired by her ability to hold so many experiences at once. Her presence as a facilitator would enhance any group process.

I asked Misha to help me brainstorm more sustainable ways to interact with
a person who I have had conflict with, and with whom I am not yet ready to talk. She had thoughtful suggestions and perspectives that enabled me to see my position in the conflict from a more neutral angle. Her patience and listening opened up my mind and heart to seeing opportunities for misunderstanding that might have occurred in my interactions with the other person. She helped me identify a moment where things got off balance in the interaction. She pointed out elements of the interaction that were expressions of pain and confusion for both of us. She offered wisdom and insight around relational dynamics and offered compassion for the individual experience. She asked me questions that gave me clarity into my own motivations, and that revealed to me the changes I am (or am not yet) open to making relative to my engagement with the other person.
Misha’s assistance was profoundly helpful to bringing calm to my mind around this upsetting interaction. She guided me to a place where now I feel I have more balance so that I might return to it when I am ready.

I have witnessed Misha's talent and gift of guiding me through toughmediation sessions, where I felt acknowledged, respected, and safe. Misha guided me with clear communication and compassion, and she knew exactly how to hold the space for everyone, and when to step in to ease the tension and make sure I was heard and acknowledged. Misha, thank you for a great work, for sharing your knowledge, expertise, and the gift you naturally have.

Misha guided me in defining my feelings, and coming to terms with them.
She facilitated me shaping a course of action that honored my boundaries, concerns, and desires. I was able to communicate my concerns about another’s actions, to them, without it taking the form of an attack. They were able to hear me, and own their part in the process. I feel the communication skills I learned from her that day continue to help me in my business and personal life. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

One of the best things I so appreciate about Misha is how she related to me as a whole person,not just in the challenging situation I was in. She pointed out a key positive trait that was becoming a serious negative block to an important relationship. By recognizing that I was repeating a pattern, I am now empowered to alter that pattern before it becomes a challenge and no longer feels good to continue. I was unaware of this pattern previous to my heart-centered conversation with Misha. She delivered the news in a warm, loving way that I could hear it, receive it, and see it as a gift. All in about an hour. Such a blessing! Thank you Misha!

Ready to learn more about Clearing Conversations?
clearing conversation events
I came to this event full of turmoil and emotional energy. |
When I registered for the Clearing Conversations workshop, I was doubtful that I would learn |
As the evening has completed I am feeling measurably clearer. I can’t remember having such a significant shift in my experience of my relationships, and clarity of how to improve them, in such a short time. I would highly recommend Misha’s Clearing Conversations Circle. It is an opportunity to give and receive powerfully, in a safe and considered environment. The practice of non-violent communication is a powerful practice, and engaging in it with others, in a spirit of generosity and curiosity is one of the most optimal ways to practice it.

something new. Cynical, and a bit overwhelmed with too many other things on my schedule, I went to the first group to "see how it goes."
What I saw surprised me. In less than an hour, Misha's clearly written workshop format and presentation took our group of 10 people into a meditation followed by deep, personal conversations. The process of listening and reflecting, though quite familiar to me, was new to several participants. EVERYONE achieved the depth of listening and being heard. The processes and tools that Misha provides are essential for effective communication in communities, couples, groups and even with our own inner voices. Peace can be achieved by listening with compassion and empathy. What a blessing. -G.R., San Francisco, CA, 2013 |
Spent a thought provoking Wednesday evening in the gifted presence of Mishaduring one of her Clearing Conversation Circles. Misha facilitated a dynamic communication learning process with finesse and grace. Plus, Misha provided me with two cool revelations about work-related relationship issues that opened me up to a new way of approaching/seeing challenging energy. Heartfelt communication requires practice....come join the circle!

The last event was totally awesome. If you're on the fence about this one, come.
Misha knows how to create a space that feels relaxing and safe. I was surprised at how quickly we all felt comfortable sharing and diving deeply into the work.
