MICHELLE SANCHEZ
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I have overcome many challenges, emerging with a profound understanding of resilience and purpose. From a young age, I had a knack for experiencing what some might call peculiar coincidences—like a sixth sense for knowing, feeling, and intuiting things. It was as if my inner compass was always a step ahead, though I didn’t quite know where it was leading me.
Fast forward to my 20+ years as a music industry executive, without knowing a single chord. I created marketing campaigns for A-list legacy artists in the Hip-Hop, Gospel, and R&B genres, spinning stories like I’d been in the studio myself. Little did I know that storytelling muscle was preparing me for something bigger.
In 2021, I found myself in the middle of a major life transition—depressed, drinking excessively, and making choices that didn’t reflect who I truly was. At my lowest, I turned to God and separately, spirituality for answers. That’s when my mentors dropped a curveball: “You need to be in the spirit world.” Confused, I asked, “Umm… the spirit world is huge. Can you be more specific?” Their response? “You’ll know.” Mysterious much?
Turns out, they were right. That cryptic message launched me into a profound journey of healing, purpose, and rediscovery. Life eventually handed me the missing puzzle piece, and now, here I am using music and sound—not for marketing, but for healing. This empathetic ability to connect with individuals has become my soul's purpose. Today, I channel the gifts of sound and energy into helping others find peace and balance. Guided by my connection to a higher purpose, I use my psychic abilities and intuitive insights to curate transformative experiences, empowering individuals to reconnect with their true selves. My crystal bowls and other energetic frequencies have become one of my greatest joys, allowing me to connect deeply, one soul at a time. It's funny how life works. I am a musician, after all!
“I traded alcohol for affirmations, toxicity for truth, sadness for spirituality, and longing for pure love.”
SANCHEZ SANCTUARY OFFERINGS
Founded in 2022, Sanchez Sanctuary was created with the mission of supporting Black and Brown individuals in healing generational trauma and reconnecting to their wholeness—mind, body, spirit, and soul.
Through a trauma-informed and spiritually grounded approach, I offer healing experiences that integrate ancient wisdom with modern psychology. My work draws from Reiki, sound therapy, chakra balancing, breathwork, meditation, yoga, plant medicine, and energy alignment, while honoring the lived experiences, resilience, and ancestral wisdom of the communities I serve.
To date, I’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of individuals across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Africa through deeply intentional healing spaces.
Trauma-Informed Care & Professional Training
All sessions are rooted in trauma-informed principles, ensuring safety, consent, agency, and emotional regulation throughout the healing process. In addition to spiritual modalities, my work is informed by formal training and ongoing education in trauma awareness and recovery.
I am a:
Certified Reiki Master
Certified Sound Healing Practitioner
Energy Alignment Specialist
Trauma-Informed Practitioner (Training & Certification)
PhD Candidate in Psychology, with a concentration in Ancestral Healing
This blended foundation allows me to hold space with both spiritual intuition and psychological integrity.
Sound Bath Ceremonies
My sessions are customizable sound bath ceremonial sessions that are both experiential and educational, designed to support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, embodied awareness, and overall mental health hygiene. Sessions can be facilitated either:
Seated or lying down, depending on the needs of your space and participants. Entrainment is highly effective because the body naturally responds to sound frequencies, regardless of posture, allowing participants to shift into a more regulated, receptive state, whether in corporate attire or in sweats, a 60-minute immersive sound bath experience , or a shortened 5–15 minute grounding/ reset. The sessions are ideal for meetings, retreats, or transitional moments.
Fully curated and customized, including the option to open/ close with a tea service or a glass of wine. The experience is highly adaptable, allowing for creative flexibility in format and flow.
In addition to sound immersion, my sessions include:
A guided modern meditative visualization
Reiki (movement of stagnant energy)
Chakra balancing (the body’s main energy centers that influence our physical, emotional, and mental well-being)
Helping participants not only relax but also understand, feel, and take ownership of what is happening in their bodies as the sound frequencies work through the process of entrainment. This educational element deepens the experience by bringing awareness to how sound impacts the nervous system, energy centers, and overall sense of balance. A key takeaway for participants as they can practice this on their own after the session. Also included in the ceremony:
Manifestation card reading to receive insight, encouragement, or clarity around their current energy or intentions.
Integration circle to pause, reflect, share, and make meaning of their experience.
The Soul Résumé™ Exercise
Beyond modalities and certifications, I have developed a signature practice called the Soul Résumé™—a reflective and experiential exercise designed to help individuals reconnect with their true selves beyond titles, roles, productivity, and accomplishments.
The Soul Résumé™ invites participants to explore:
Who they are at their core
The wisdom they carry from lived experience and lineage
Values, desires, and truths that exist beyond societal labels
This practice is woven into select sessions, retreats, and workshops, offering a powerful opportunity for self-reclamation, clarity, and alignment.
Trauma-Informed Adjunct to Clinical & Therapeutic Care
I collaborate with therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and clinicians to support clients outside or alongside traditional talk therapy.
My role may include:
Providing nervous system regulation sessions to support therapeutic integration
Supporting clients who struggle with verbal processing
Assisting with stress management, emotional grounding, and somatic awareness
Offering group or individual sessions that complement treatment plans
Supporting clinician-led programs, retreats, or wellness initiatives

STYLE BY SANCHEZ
In 2006, I turned my passion for beautiful aesthetics into a paid hobby. I launched an interior decorating company serving my colleagues and entertainment network by combining my project management skills with my innate sense of style to create functional, stylish spaces. My continuing education at Parsons School of Design in NYC further refined my eye for design, allowing me to take on creative projects that bring beauty and balance to clients’ homes and commercial spaces. Today, I continue to offer interior decorating services, but now with a deeper sense of purpose.
I combine spirituality with design to create functional spaces that foster peace, healing, and alignment with the soul that nourishes both the body and spirit. Every facet of my life, from career to my creative and spiritual pursuits, is driven by my commitment to transformation—whether through successful marketing campaigns, beautiful design, or healing the spirit.
