About Me

Natural Living creates a zest for life. Food, movement, poetry, dance, music, these are disciplines that allow longevity to manifest. 

My quest for knowledge began at an early age, now I
have been led to Nia, which combines all of the above and more. 

Stop, look and ask yourself, “Am I enjoying my body and its expression?” Nia is a doorway to the sensations and joy of movement that lives in the body.

 Come and be alive!

Michele's Original began in 1978 in Philadelphia. There I produced many Natural Products where the most popular are sold in Whole Foods. The spreads are Tofu, Tahini and Hummus while the dressings are Sesame Herb & Spice and Caesar .I enjoyed the food service until 2005, when I moved to Sarasota.


My personal quest for spiritual enrichment began in 6th or 7th grade, when I read The Prophet, by Gibran. It was then I decided to become a poet, a hermit and remained alone. I love time in my inner chamber reading, writing and listening to music. My desire to find the center and meaning of life took me into the silence of Yoga, Meditation and Journaling. These disciplines became my life partner.

I have practiced Yoga since 1970 with many Masters. In 1975 I learned the gift of Meditation and have committed myself to this practice daily. As for writing, it's my best friend. Never does a day pass, without me expressing myself and having quiet time, to see and be me.

The powerful Self, with its many facets enlivens me.

My level of commitment to be whole, explore my mind, and body has taken me through many wonderful doors. Today it has opened to the practice of NIA, which combines the healing of Yoga, the precision of Martial Art, along with the ecstasy of Dance and Music.

Life is a celebration, and our commitment is to build a vision and then claim it. This creates an awareness of the truth within oneself. Knowing where I am headed, opens me to the possibility to live my dream which lies asleep in the Body; therefore the freedom of movement is a doorway. As we dance we become a powerful influence. The Body is a vehicle with mobility to travel in time and space.

Let's Dance...come explore the "Joy of Movement." My first offering will be a triad class with a focus on NIA for the movement, awareness through Journaling and than exploring the magic of energy in Food.

I will be discovering the power of combining the 3 to create a wonderful experience for you come and be the powerful Self you have chosen to be.

Blessings, Michele
