About Michelle Ann Nardone
With over 20 years of experience leading groups, teaching, coaching, mentoring and healing, I support people in navigating their lives with greater wholeness, trust, clarity, and purpose.
I empower individuals to expand embodied awareness and refine intention, to live with deeper connection and unfold meaningful action.
My path has been shaped by both lived experience and ongoing study, guided by a deep curiosity about the relationship between body, mind, and spirit. I grew up on the coast of Rhode Island, where my connection to nature began. After a near-death accident in my youth, I instinctively turned to embodiment practices, wisdom traditions, and the creative arts as a way back to safety and meaning.
Yoga and Insight Meditation have been a foundation of my own practice for deeper integration since the 90s. As a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, I love bringing this gift of well-being to others.
As a young mother, I moved to California and immersed myself in Montessori early childhood education, which sparked a lifelong dedication to holistic, whole-person learning.
In 2002, after a year of international travel, I settled in Denmark and led the development of the country’s first bachelor’s degree in Animation. For more than a decade, I supported hundreds of artists in finding their creative voices and guided diverse teams through complex, evolving environments.
Over time, a quiet inner calling emerged—one that led me back to the body and the unseen. This journey deepened my study of psychotherapy, neuroscience, IFS, somatic and shamanic practices, trauma and resilience work, and developmental frameworks including archetypes, the Enneagram, and Human Design.
In 2021, I founded Your Unfolding Self—a space to explore your inner landscape with curiosity, compassion, and courage, and to move forward with a greater sense of wholeness and well-being.
I believe each of us carries a unique gift, often hidden beneath who we were taught to be. My work invites you to listen deeply within, and allow your life to unfold through you.
I look forward to meeting you.
Warmly,
Michelle
