Michelle Casserley is a lifelong learner who lives by the ocean with her family and is passionate about the role of creative process as a support for recovery work.

Early years were spent in retail and bookkeeping, she then got inspired to work towards health with others using the modality of Bowen Therapy.

Business training supported her to start to build her own business alongside her work.

When in recovery from a severe depressive episode, Michelle found the benefits of creative practices such as art, journaling and music were a great daily support alongside her work with therapists.

She developed a passion for supporting others with mental illness and worked for some years with Skylight Mental Health, facilitating art and drumming programs and at Yarredi Services, supporting women and children experiencing domestic violence before moving into private practice.

She has facilitated Drum Circles and various art workshops to people of all ages and stages, both paid and community work. Journaling has been a large part of her own therapeutic wellness work and she has studied facilitator training with Lisa Sonora.

As someone who has found great support in online courses in art and wellness, she is currently developing her offerings to be available online in order to offer accessible support more widely.

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade for ACE Radio.

We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. 

She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? 

Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us.

I love to learn and my favourite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. 

Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do?

This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
