Feeling sluggish? Brain fog? Extra sensitive to EMFs, perfumes, and detergent? Breaking out? Gaining weight or can't loose it? Girl, you toxic!

Michelle & Kate bring you a comprehensive guide to first address mitochondria health. Get those cells functioning properly because they are sleeping right now. Once they are warmed up, then we address your drainage pathways. Are you pooping daily? Sweat? This part is KEY to your decision to "detox." This stage is CRUCIAL or else you'll feel AWFUL during a cleanse. Ever hear of "herx reaction?" By addressing your mitochondria and opening up the drainage pathways first we can help you mitigate the "feeling worse before you get better" stage.

We weave in acupuncture meridians playing a role in your detox health, essential oils and herbal medicine, master class on castor oil packs and application, self-assessment questionnaires, and so much more!

We share our stories and experiences of our clients who have successfully navigated this terrain. It all starts with a cleanse, are you ready to change your life?

Have you ever experienced some kind of heartache and thought to yourself, huh that's weird... I thought I had already worked through that? Trauma lies in the tissues, not just our memories. Here we "work it out" with you by explaining Chinese Medicine theories to support your looping thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. We show you what essential oils and herbal medicine shine when it comes to matters of the heart. In addition, we cover gentle ways to tend to your whole body, mind, and spirit so you can complete the karma and move the f*ck on!

Oh boy! The realm of hormones! How well do you understand the endocrine system? Did you know that low Vit D is a major reason for low testosterone? Or that high cortisol levels screw up your insulin, which then whacks out your estrogen? Confused yet? Waking up with palpitations and doom?

Let us lead you through the labyrinth of hormone regulation. We give you specific protocols to follow based on your unique body. This is not a one size fits all, and this is also not a ritual you do over and over again all month long. We will teach you what to eat, what to do, how to move depending on where you are in your cycle, your age, and your body type!

Kate is the founder and owner of Sunshine Kate’s Wellness Center in New Jersey, an evolving sanctuary born from a deeply personal journey of healing, curiosity, and connection.

What began as a simple personal cooking service soon expanded into something far more holistic. Kate found herself called to study movement and went deep into studying yoga and the nervous system, which naturally flowed into supporting women through hormonal shifts, and then deeper still into the study of herbal medicine, trauma, deeper into the nervous system, human sexuality, and somatic-based therapies. This organic unfolding ultimately gave rise to The Intimacy Doula, a portal for deep embodiment, relational healing, and intimacy education.

Kate's formal path began with a degree in whole-foods-based nutrition from Bastyr University in Seattle, where she also immersed myself in herbal medicine, meditation, shamanic practices, rock climbing, and a comprehensive exploration of the mind-body connection. Wanting to bridge the internal and external aspects of wellness, Kate became a licensed esthetician to better understand how skin health mirrors the inner workings of the body. But she knew her work wasn’t skin-deep. Something deeper was calling.

For years, she has devoted myself to studying sacred sexuality, somatic therapy, and empowerment coaching, fields that have helped her honor the emotional and energetic layers of the human experience.

Eventually, all these threads, nutrition, movement, sexuality, somatics, travel, and personal empowerment wove together. Since 2015, Kate has been guiding wellness and sensory-awakening retreats both domestically and abroad, helping others return to the wisdom of their bodies and the richness of embodied living.

Michelle is a weaver of many modalities that anchor and highlight our spiritual essence in our human experience.

She finds great joy in teaching and facilitating group sessions around essential oils and Chinese Face reading! She has studied essential oils under the guidance of, and extensively with, Jeffrey Yuen, Peter Holmes and Tiffany Carole.

The past few years have found Michelle delving deeply into the art of Chinese Face Reading, studying with the late Lillian Bridges.

In 2023, Michelle opened her online apothecary to create and share the medicine of essential oils!
