About michelle
The Woman Behind the Method
Michelle Carrie McDougall is the founder of the MyShelle Method and a nervous system practitioner specializing in bodywork, education, and coaching.
Her work brings together Neurodevelopmental Primitive Reflex Integration, Touch for Health, Conscious Education Coaching, Somatic Focalizing Meditation, and somatosensory bodywork.
Michelle’s approach was shaped by both professional training and personal experience.
Her journey began through supporting her son’s developmental challenges and deepened through her own experience of lifelong movement and nervous system patterns.
The MyShelle Method was created to help clients understand that physical bracing, emotional protection, sensory overwhelm, relational boundaries, and patterns of receiving are not separate experiences.
They are often part of the same body story.
Michelle’s work is educational, experiential, and deeply respectful of each client’s pace.
Her intention is not to tell the body what it should do.
Her intention is to provide the conditions in which the body can begin to recognize support, connection, and new possibilities.
