Dear Friend
They say in order to appreciate sunshine, we must know rain..
Is it true?
Who knows?..
What I know is.. I’ve had my share of “rain”.
My beautiful baby daughter’s illness (and eventual passing)
plunged me down into
The darkest depths of grief a mother could ever imagine
That’s more than rain.
That’s a perfect storm.
A hurricane.
A tidal wave.
And yet.. That same experienced changed my life.
My body..
My health..
And now it's helping thousands of people, all around the world.
So I guess you could call that “sunshine”.
Whatever it is, I know my darling girl is smiling down at me.
Happy..
Laughing..
Proud..
Hi, my name is Michelle.
Listen, I want to share something with you.
Okay, it starts a little ways back..
You see, my whole life, I’ve known I wanted to be a dancer.
Ever since I was a little girl.
It’s as though there was no other option to me. Dancing was it.
So I followed my calling and became a classical ballerina with the West Australian Ballet Company.
It was a dream come true, and I felt as though I was really living my purpose.
Then..
and just like that.. my career was over.
To be honest, it felt like my whole life was over.
Have you ever felt like that?
Your hopes, dreams and plans just dashed in the blink of an eye…
It’s devastating.
Sort of like you’ve been winded.. and had sand thrown in your eyes at the same time.
You can’t seem to find steady footing or possibly see where to go from here..
But I knew I needed to trust, and seek a new path.
And so I started studying natural medicine (something I’d always been interested in), specialising in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu.
And it was great. I felt as though I’d really found my place.
I was teaching Shiatsu, had remarried, and given birth to my second child… A beautiful daughter who I named Isabelle.
Everything was wonderful.
But then..
And over the next few months she developed a serious seizure disorder… which turned out to be the precursor for a genetic disorder, known as Rett Syndrome.
What happens with Rett Syndrome is that the little babies grow normally for a while and then at about 18 months old… they begin to regress and lose all their skills.
On top of that they develop stereotypical movements and problems specific to Rett Syndrome.
The worry and pain I felt was tremendous. Unlike anything I’d ever known in my life.
I’ll never forget the night I dragged myself off to bed, leaving my husband in front of the TV, dealing with his own suffering…
And then..
It’s sort of hard to explain what occurred next..
Something just..happened.
You see I realised that as much pain as I was in, I was actually resisting feeling the pain for real.
Sort of like I was pushing it deep down inside and only feeling the edges of it.
I was stuck in my head.
Worrying.
Looking for solutions and plain worrying myself sick!
So.. I gave up.
I let myself feel my grief and fear fully.
..There was a lot of it.
In fact, it seemed as though there was no end to it!
But after a while.. I started to feel better.
I was still here.
So was Belle.
And yes, so were her problems..
But somewhere along the way I decided to accept what was and give up the worry, which would have probably killed me if I kept going the way I was!
What came next has changed my life.
But listen, before I get to that, let me ask you some questions.
Are you dealing with grief right now?
Are you in pain?
Do you suffer from stress, anxiety or depression?
Do you feel over-emotional or overwhelmed by life?
Have you got any health issues that are stopping you from living your life fully?
Maybe things like fatigue, joint pain, stiffness, inflexibility or other physical problems?
Do you ever wish you had more energy or motivation?
Maybe you just feel.. off.
You know, that sort of..malaise you just can’t quite put your finger on.
Unwell..
Sluggish..
Fatigued..
Sad..
Your body aches..
You feel out of balance and out of step with your true self.
Maybe it’s the way the world is heading. All this technology.The disconnect from nature and each other.
And the constant Go! Go! Go! You’re trying to look after your little ones, be present for your loved ones and aware and conscious of your surroundings.
Really it’s no wonder you’re feeling out of balance.
You see looking after Belle and adjusting to the new life that brought, I was feeling all of those things.
Sure.. I had let go and accepted the situation.
And absolutely, yes, I felt a lot better.
But that hadn’t fixed everything.
I was still feeling sluggish, tired, sad, listless. My body ached.
So I started to do what I always did. And that was dance.
My back injury meant that I wasn’t a ballerina any more but my love of dance never left me.
So I’d dance.
Just at home.
And I’d meditate.
And I began to incorporate some of the things I’d learned about Qi during my time studying Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I’d move and dance in ways that I knew would balance my Qi
(I’ll explain more about what Qi is in a minute but in the meantime, think of it as your life energy.)
And you know what? I noticed a big difference.
I had heaps of energy.
My stress fell away.
I felt healthy, grounded, and present.
And more than anything, I knew I’d discovered something that would help a lot of people.
And so, in the winter of 2001, out of my love of dance and a desire to help others heal, Wu Tao was created.
Since then I’ve dedicated my life to sharing this work with people simply because I have seen the results it produces.
Hi Michelle, I just thought I’d write to thank you and to let you know that I’ve been dancing Wu Tao for close to a year now and I love it! Honestly, I’m usually about as graceful as an 18-wheeler and these easy, flowing moves finally let me feel a little more like a swan (now imagine a mix between a truck and a swan – lol!).
I’ve tried many exercise, tai chi and yoga routines over the years but as my mind and body are particularly sensitive, none of them have lasted more than a few weeks or felt interesting enough to pursue.
I love Wu Tao because it integrates movement, visuals and music and it seems to speak the same language as different parts of my body and energy, without my mental defences coming in to rain on that beautiful parade.
I usually dance every 2-3 days and I’ve noticed lately that if I go more than 3 days without practicing Wu Tao, my body and energy start to feel not so good and I want to get back to it. And it’s not an effort – yay! Anyway, thank you, Michelle, for making Wu Tao available. It’s been truly helpful to me.

In the simplest terms, Wu Tao is a series of 5 powerful dances done to beautiful, original music.
And what it does is balances the energy (called Qi) in your body.
When your Qi is flowing properly it
Increases your energy
Eases your stress levels
Restores balance
Energises your cells and organs
And brings your mind back to a natural state of clarity and peaceful, easy joy
Wu Tao works on the Chinese Medicine system of energy flow through a network of channels, called meridians.
And these meridians connect with your internal organs.
The 5 dances of Wu Tao relate to the 5 elements and stimulate energy flow through their corresponding organs and meridian system.
So by doing Wu Tao you are stimulating and toning all the organs of your body, which helps to prevent disease and restore health to organs already out of balance.
And the beauty of Wu Tao is that the dances can be learned easily and enjoyed by anyone.
It only takes about half an hour to do a whole dance meditation.
“The air music encourages transformation and release.
The water music is soothing and flowing, as is the water dance.
The wood music is alive with salsa rhythms that invite you to stretch and open the body, freeing up the Qi.
The fire music is a joyous celebration of heart and spirit.
But the highlight of the album is the earth music.
A divine prayer.
It creates an atmosphere of surrender
and deep gratitude for the earth and her gifts of life.”
~ Steve Richter
I have been doing Wu Tao for a year now and over that year I feel as though I’ve been freed. WuTao is physically and spiritually healing.
On a physical level, I have had two major healing experiences from WuTao. Last year, just as I was starting Wu Tao, I became very ill. Wu Tao greatly helped me make a full and rapid recovery, for which I’m most grateful.
Also while practicing Wu Tao I have experienced a great improvement in my eyesight. My optometrist is mystified and surprised by the improvement in my sight, but I am sure this is because Wu Tao works with the meridians, assisting with a number of areas the body. However, we should remember that everyone benefits differently to Wu Tao. Through my exploration of Wu Tao, I have found the benefits to be endless.

Transform yourself from the Inside Out
The Element of Fire is the Great Transformative Energy. It stimulates Qi flow through the Heart which houses your beautiful radiant spirit. The Fire Dance will help you transform EVERYTHING that holds you back from resting in peace. This Dance is incredibly joyful and fun.
Appreciate Everything and Trust Life Implicitly
There is a place inside you that knows Life is a Gift. Through the prayerful Earth Dance you will come to truly trust that Life loves you and you are always supported to grow into more peace, abundance and joy. This dance stimulates Qi flow through the Spleen and Stomach and will bring you to a place of deep inner stillness, peace and gratitude.

I don’t know about you, but these days I feel as though everything out there seems to be about making money.
The big guys getting what they want from someone and then tossing them aside.
What a horrible, horrible way to live!
That’s not what I’m about.
In fact..the very thought of it makes my skin crawl!
Listen..
Wu Tao is a labour of love for me.
It’s healed me and touched my life in ways I can’t even describe and I know it will do the same for you.
This is something that I’ve really deliberated over.
You see this course will give you the same experience that you would get
from a 4-day Intensive Workshop with me. And that costs at least $899..
(People still tell me I’m not charging enough!)
But I want my Wu Tao Self Healing Homestudy Course to be available at a price everyone can afford.
I know it’s worth at least $600, with all the time and work I’ve put into refining it over the years.
But I still think that’s too much to charge..
Even $399 didn’t feel right.
That’s why you can get my
Wu Tao Self-Healing Home Study for just:
That way it’s easy and affordable for you,
and I can continue to grow Wu Tao so it helps even more people.
Everyone wins!
you see I only have a limited amount of time available for mentoring.
And once they’re all booked up, I’ll be taking that bonus down
But if you wait I can’t promise they’ll be here when you come back to order later.
Make sense?
So the best thing to do is order your Wu Tao Self-Healing Homestudy right now.
Is Wu Tao Like Tai Chi?
Like with anything we find new and unfamiliar, we like to try and relate it back to something we know.
So to help you out, here are some answers to questions I’m commonly asked about Wu Tao:
Is Wu Tao like Nia, Chakra Dance, 5 Rhythms and so on?
No. These are all free form styles and don’t offer the same healing, choreographed form of dance with beautiful original music composed to restore peace, energy and balance at every level
What Chinese Medicine Modulaties does Wu Tao use?
Though it doesn’t use any of these modalities specifically, Wu Tao is similar to:
Tai Chi
Chi Gung
Shiatsu
Acupuncture
Because it works by stimulating the flow of Qi (life force energy) through the body
Do I have to be in Shape to do Wu Tao?
No, not at all. Wu Tao is very gentle and suitable for all ages and shapes.
Wu Tao is also an effective form of exercise for people with movement restrictions or other physical challenges.
But I'm not a Dancer...?
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never danced before. You can do Wu Tao with 2 left feet! I promise.
Am I too old/young to do Wu Tao?
Absolutely not! It doesn’t matter what age you are.. Wu Tao works for everyone. We have people between the ages of 18 – 75 in our regular classes. In fact it’s offered in both primary schools and nursing homes! So you really are never too old or too young to benefit from Wu Tao.
Do I need any special equipment?
You don’t need any special equipment to do Wu Tao. You may like to use a towel or a blanket to lie on for the relaxation meditation at the end of the dances.. but I’m sure you have those in your home already!
I came to Wu Tao with no preconceptions or expectations and fell into a delightful interplay of light and shadow. The energy was was awesome. I felt alive, fresh and recharged…. All the cliches but more than that, full of laughter. My body loved it and I felt nourished, back in balance with myself and the world. I’ve practised all sorts of body disciplines and Wu Tao just shines for it’s joyful rush.

The Wu Tao course was absolutely wonderful! We are part of everything and today I woke up feeling so grateful. I’m so glad to have together two passions of my life, the Chinese medicine and dance. Thanks Michelle. I haven’t met you yet but I already have a deep respect and love for who you are, because you brought to this world this magical life dance!!! I’ll definitely be doing the teacher training!!

I am loving the experience of dancing again – and a bonus is finding kindred spirits to connect with! I finish Wu Tao feeling relaxed and at the same time energised. I have a heartfelt depth of appreciation for the ‘knowing’ that life will somehow never be quite the same again. Wu Tao is the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time and I hope I will continue to dance till the end of my days in this body.
