MICHELLE BOBACK

Michelle is a transformational coach, teacher and retreat leader who helps people heal and grow in safe and inspired environments. Her private sessions are based in Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Yoga and Meditation. She is the founder of the technique Hypno Reiki.

Her spiritual journey got a kick start after a near death experience at the age of 17. The experience ignited a spiritual curiosity in Michelle that has matured into a life based in mindfulness, healing and compassion. The chronic pain Michelle had after that accident led her into a hypnotherapy and NLP program in the 90’s, just as hypnosis was starting to come mainstream. She completed her first Hypnotherapy certification program in 1994, and went on to receive her Usui Reiki Master level in 2002 and her first 300 hour Yoga teacher training in 2012. Since then she’s had numerous certificates and hundreds of hours of training added to her tool kit. Michelle experienced for herself how hypnotherapy, meditation and yoga could improve someone’s quality of life. Inspired by her findings, she started bridging Guided Visualization techniques into the acting classes she was teaching in Vancouver and Montreal, Canada. Very quickly she realized the power, play and hypnosis had in healing. Over the years, Michelle has blended Hypnotherapy and Reiki into her technique Hypno Reiki. A body, mind and spirit approach to healing.

Her private practice is located in Malibu where she also leads a 100 hour meditation teacher training program at the renowned Malibu studio, The Mindry. She also leads Workshops, Ceremonies, and Retreats throughout LA , Malibu, and Ventura County and beyond. Her retreats are known to be healing, and inspiring.
