From an early age, Michelle has been aware that we each perceive reality in our own way. Our minds seem to shape the world around us, convincing us that our version of reality is the only one. This awareness leads her to delve into the mystery of reality. She is fascinated by scientific and philosophic ideas of consciousness, the fabric of the universe and metaphysics. But also by the stories that shape our understanding of existence, found in fantasy, mythology and spirituality.
