Healing that honors the whole you
Led by Michelle Meadows, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor through the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance, and Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), Ahimsa Health is grounded in professional training and integrative mind-body care.
Michelle has completed EMDR Basic Training and is currently working toward EMDR certification, with additional training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Brainspotting Phase 1. She is also completing advanced training in the Anchored Relational Approach for Complex Trauma, Dissociation, and PTSD, with anticipated completion in December 2026.
Her mind-body training includes a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, with an advanced 300-hour yoga teacher training beginning January 2027, as well as Reiki Levels I & II and additional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
These approaches come together to offer focused trauma processing, nervous-system support, mindfulness, and mind-body practices designed to support healing, greater connection with the body, and a meaningful reconnection with yourself.
OUR APPROACH
Therapy that goes beyond talking.
Healing can involve more than words.
Sometimes, talking about what happened isn’t enough to change how an experience continues to live in the present. Ahimsa Health offers focused trauma processing alongside mind-body and mindfulness practices designed to support healing, regulation, and reconnection with yourself.

Explore individualized approaches designed to support healing, regulation, and reconnection.
Mindfulness & Regulation
Grounded in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), the evidence-based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, these sessions offer practical ways to work with stress, increase body awareness, and cultivate greater presence in everyday life. Practices may include mindfulness meditation, body awareness, gentle movement, and breathing techniques to support regulation and well-being.
My MBSR training: I completed the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program through the University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing, with training in mindfulness meditation, movement, and integrating mindfulness into daily life.
Yoga
Trauma-informed yoga and gentle somatic movement to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with your body. With 235 hours of yoga teacher training through Devanadi Yoga in the Twin Cities and ongoing teaching experience across local studios, sessions blend mindful movement, breath, and nervous-system-informed practices in a safe, compassionate space.
EMDR & Trauma Processing
Evidence-based trauma therapies including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) reach beyond traditional talk therapy to work with deeper emotional and memory networks. These approaches can help process painful experiences, shift deeply held beliefs, and support greater safety, integration, and resilience.
Reiki
Gentle energy work designed to support deep relaxation, grounding, and connection with the body. Trained in Reiki Levels I & II through the Minnesota Reiki Center under Senior Licensed Reiki Master Teacher Jill Thiel, I offer Reiki as a restorative practice that complements mindfulness and somatic approaches to well-being.
