Biography for Michelle Bessette, CHt

Michelle Bessette, CHt, LMT, LE, has been a massage therapist since 2000.

I have deeply valued aiding individuals in their physical recovery. Over the years, my passion for helping others has evolved to include a profound understanding of the subconscious. Through hypnotherapy, I am able to address mental and emotional well-being, providing a holistic approach to wellness that works from the outside in and from the inside out.

My expertise spans the areas of Healing Touch, Reiki, and Lomi Lomi Practitioner. Integrating hypnotherapy allows me to offer an all-encompassing approach to energy work, holistically helping clients achieve their goals of physical and mental health while breaking free from detrimental habits and patterns.

I specialize in assisting you in releasing what no longer serves you allowing clarity, peace, and confidence as your new way of being through transformative wellness. Together we can help you heal with words, and heal from within.
