MICHELLE SRIH
psychotherapist, energy healer & yogini
I consider myself to be a citizen of the world. While I was born in London, England, my ancestral homeland is India, and I have lived my adult life in North America. In my experience, the more of the world you see, the more you realize how similar we actually are.
I have traveled across the globe and explored the cultures of Egypt, Mexico, Bali, Spain, Belize, France, Turkey, India, Germany, Malaysia, Greece, Ireland, Belize, Portugal, Cuba, Italy, Kenya, Singapore, Poland etc.
We have more in common than what meets the eye. We may speak different languages, eat different foods, have different beliefs but ultimately we all want to be at peace, be healthy and to love and be loved. This is what truly matters.
Guidance and Support
I have spent the past 20 years supporting people. I knew at a very young age that this was my life’s purpose. I have connected with people in prisons, in homeless shelters, in half way houses, on suicide hotlines, in social service agencies, in hospices, in corporate, in my private practice and in yoga studios. It is through these experiences I have developed my personal belief system which is rooted in Buddhist philosophy and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. I have come to understand the human experience of pain and suffering, how the physical and energetic bodies operate and what it takes to heal and to rediscover yourself. We are the creators of our own life.
“As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall. Yes, we have to beat down the separateness.”
— Ram Dass
Currently
I currently support Helpers (i.e. Nurses, Firefighters, Police, Military Personnel, Therapists, Social Workers, Coaches, Bodyworkers, Energy Healers etc.), Creatives (i.e. Artists, Actors, Painters, Musicians, Writers, Photographers, Designers etc.), Entrepreneurs and those healing from Chronic Illness & Disease. It is my hope that the knowledge, experience and wisdom I have gained is of use to you in your healing journey so that you too can experience love, joy, health, meaning, purpose and fulfillment in your life.
“To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only real obligation.”

Journey to Holistic Therapy
Since 2016, I have been supporting clients as a Holistic Therapist in my private practice, Tranquilty Counselling in Vancouver, Canada. I have utilized various approaches including, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychedelic Therapy, Yoga, Reiki, Chakra Balancing, ThetaHealing, Quantum Healing and Therapeutic Shamanism to get to the root cause of what people are experiencing. It is through my education and training as a Psychotherapist that I have come to understand the inner workings of the mind.
Prior to becoming a Psychotherapist, I was a Human Resources Business Partner in Video Games, Film, Animation & High Tecnhology for 8 years. Some of the most notable companies I have worked for are Electronic Arts, Pixar, Hootsuite, Wild Brain and Vancouver Film School.
Yoga Evolution
I began practicing Yoga 15 years ago and completed my Registered Yoga Teacher training and Trauma Informed Yoga training more than 10 years ago. I currently offer Shakti Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing at Local Health Integrative Clinic in Vancouver, Canada. Yoga is more than a physical practice for me; it is a way of life and connection to my ancestral homeland of India. It was my own healing journey that directed me towards Yoga, Psychology, Counselling, Spirituality, Psychedelics and Wellness.
