A place of healing and an international coaching headquarters
Michelle’s life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. While her journey through cancer was an arduous one, it was the catalyst that changed everything. It was during this time that she discovered her deep-rooted passion for integrative wellness and its profound impact on physical and emotional well-being. After studying body harmony, intuitive medicine, theta healing and pursuing knowledge with a total fascination for the mind body connection, the mother of two shed her past challenges and embarked on a journey of healing inside and out that completely changed her world view. Drawing strength from her own experiences, Michelle created a sanctuary where guests experience peace and harmony. Her depth on knowledge into the ecosystem that is our humanity and the many facets of what it takes to create a sustainable paradigm shift is complex and requires a capacity to think and see outside of the square and to consider the intricacies of a system as a whole. As guests of the retreat know, Tarangau is the perfect place for this journey.
The Genesis of Tarangau Retreat
Inspired by the breathtaking natural beauty of Kenya, Michelle envisioned a retreat that combined the healing powers of nature and wellness practices. Thus, Tarangau was born. Situated in one of the most scenic parts of Africa, this sanctuary offers a serene atmosphere and a range of therapeutic activities designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. With Michelle’s depth of coaching experience, her unique Meditation Series, wellness programs and curated Safari adventures, those seeking personal growth and longevity while exploring one of the most beautiful places on earth, Tarangau offers an experience like no other.
Healing the Whole Being
At Tarangau, wellness is approached holistically. Guests are invited to partake in a variety of activities, from wildlife safaris, African culture and nourishing food, to yoga, breathwork, meditation and coaching by the sea. Michelle’s personal experiences have shaped the retreat’s philosophy, emphasizing the importance of connection between the heart and body, and discovering one’s purpose. She skillfully facilitates each guest’s experience, as they disconnect from everyday demands and the constant pressures of technology, immersing themselves in all that Tarangau has to offer. These experiences can inspire guests to release their own creativity and focus on what is truly inspiring and important in their own lives.

However, it was realising who I am, which was life changing. Thank you Michelle, for providing the fun, space and awareness to becoming the best version of me.”
