ABOUT ME | Michell Mercer

Hello

My name is Michell Mercer I am a Holistic Pulsing body-mind Practitioner and Teacher. I also practice as a Death Doula. In my work, I specialise in Holistic Pulsing and the art of gentle healing plus relaxation techniques that cater to all levels of your being.

I take great pride in blending my years of experience in Voice Dialogue Therapy, alongside the more recent addition of IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy.

These powerful approaches allow me to truly understand and address the complexities of your inner world. To enhance the depth of your healing journey, I incorporate additional tools such as oracle cards, crystals, and the soothing power of sound.

I strive to create a nurturing and compassionate environment where you can experience deep relaxation and discover a profound sense of letting go and inner peace.

A bit about me

I have over 30 years of experience in group facilitation and counselling. I have been a teacher of "Basic Counselling and Communication Skills", a Facilitator of various Women’s, Parenting, and Self-Awareness groups and courses

I attained my Diploma in Holistic Pulsing in 2004 and went on to graduate as a Teacher with the “Australian School of Holistic Pulsing” in 2005, I now operate under the name "The Power of Gentle Healing" and offer workshops and online training at all levels to Practitioner and Teacher Levels.

I am a Mum to 4 daughters and Nana to 5 Grandkids and after previously residing in Bali for 4 years,(I returned when Covid came) I based myself in Lismore, Northern NSW, until the great floods of Feb 2022, where I lost most of my possessions and a place to live.

After moving between my daughter's houses for a few months I have ended up in Cairns, where I am regularly housesitting and trying to recreate my life again. I teach and practice Holistic Pulsing here in Cairns now, and I travel south occasionally to see family.

Memories and acknowledgement

“This journey i am on with my folks is so hard sometimes”. This was a post I shared on fb 10 years ago, I had woken up to dad vomiting, it was about 5 days before his death. I was his full-time carer for 2 years and those last months were so hard. The comments that friends posted were a big part of what got me through, knowing that they were in the background holding me as I did what I had to do. Its amazing how you forget all the yucky stuff around dying after a while and just take the beautiful memories forward with you. As I continue on this journey of death doulaing I’m getting constant reminders that I have been doing this work for 12 years now and as I embrace it all I acknowledge that there were days, many days during that time where I was totally devastated, totally exhausted, totally just wanting to escape. It was hard to watch my mum lose her partner of 60 years, I was dealing with her emotions as well dads and I think I just buried my own as it was too hard.

What this memory today has brought me is the recognition of all the hard times too. I’m always the first to talk about the incredible gifts that I gained from these experiences but today I want to pay homage to the bloody hard times that were involved, to the strength and inner fortitude I had as I held that space of calm in the the storm that was engulfing us, and how I just kept going and doing it over and over for my loved ones cause they needed me.
