founder and matriarch of her sanctuary
Meet
Michelle Young, MA
I'm a priestess, a spiritual mentor, a teacher, and a community builder. I am devoted to helping the feminine rise.
I am an entrepreneur, a master ceremonialist and facilitator, a writer, a yogi, a health educator, a woman gatherer, and a soul midwife. For twenty years I have been leading and serving women in the deepest of ways. One of my most important journeys was owning and running a women's yoga, healing, and community center for ten years in California. It was there I had a front row seat to us Women. I had the honor of witnessing all of our pain, fear, worry, and grief, along with what we are longing for and missing in our lives. I understand who we are and what we need. My soul's purpose is to bring us together in sacred feminine community so we can heal and rise during this important time.
I have learned that...
women need each other.
After earning a Master's Degree, studying the Divine Feminine for decades, sitting at the feet of the most amazing spiritual teachers, feminine leaders, and entrepreneurs, after leading hundreds of circles and thousands of powerful women in sacred community, I have learned that what women want and what women need is simple. We need each other.
The world is at a turning point. We are feeling the call to step into our truth and our full expression. We are ready to break patterns, speak our voice, take up space, bring our gifts to the world, and take care of our communities. We find the courage to do this with and through each other.
i am here to...
bring sacred practice to women and to build a community of care
When I lost my mother to breast cancer at 26, I had just become a mother myself. In that sacred threshold between life and death, I felt invisible hands at my back whispering:
You must go forward. You must create a space for women to heal.
Nineteen years later, those hands have never left me.
Since then, I’ve walked a devoted path, breaking lineage patterns, deepening into feminine wisdom, and dedicating my life to sacred leadership. I am currently an apprentice and priestess in the 13 Moon Mystery School, held in its deepest level of initiatory study. This path is not theoretical, it is lived, embodied, and transformational.
I’m here to bring sacred practice to women and to help build the communities of care we need. Now more than ever.
This is my devotion. This is my work.

It's really hard to put into words —
THIS COMMUNITY IS SIMPLY PUT, PURE MAGIC.
— DIANE, ENTREPRENEUR
her sanctuary is...
a ceremonial lounge
We gather for ritual, connection, tea, lounge time, and ceremony.
a sacred social club
This is a place where we can deepen friendships and build a true sisterhood.
a home for feminine leaders
We are a temple space for feminine leaders to offer their gifts and services.
a place to belong.
a feminine space of devotion
A quiet space to lay down whatever you are holding. A place to tune inward and hear your own voice. A home for your healing heart.
It's community and connection and a sense of belonging. It feels like a deep sigh of relief. It's women supporting women and bringing back the ancient practice of devoted sisterhood, ceremony, and ritual. It's remembering who we are as strong, courageous, empowered, wise women, and having a space to speak our truth. This is a community of care. It's like a church for the sacred feminine.
you might be wondering...
who is 'she'?
She is the longing in your heart to live a different way. She is the nudge and the ache inside your body, begging you to listen. She is your intuition, your hidden wisdom, the part you that dreams and desires. She is the voice that is often ignored, the truth that begs for freedom.
She is the mother. The grandmother. The rising matriarch and the dancing maiden. She is the full range of Woman. She is compassion and she is rage. She is creation and she is destruction. She is wild stunning grace.
She is the divine that has been forgotten. The sacred feminine that whispers through the breeze and the trees and the ocean's beating heart. She is what wants to be remembered.
My dear, she is you and she is me.
She is Her.
“Every time I show up in this community I feel more connected.”
“I’ve been a part of Michelle’s programs for ten years, and every time I show up for myself, I feel more connected to a community of women, to my truth, and how I’m leading in my business and family.”
— jadah sellner, business coach and auther of 'she builds'
"I have so much gratitude for this community”
So much gratitude to this circle of extraordinary women who filled my heart with so much joy, comfort and inspiration.
— akiko, mom and reiki healer
“My life has been truly transformed because of this community."
Any fears, shame, or loneliness that I carried around with me were allowed to be witnessed and held without judgment. Any unworthiness or doubt that I felt about myself began to drip away as I opened up and let my voice be heard.
— jackie jordan, spiritual mentor and teacher
WE are
AWAKENED WOMEN who KNOW the VALUE OF CONNECTION.
we seek depth and truth
AND AUTHENTIC SISTERHOOD that HOLDS US
We are mothers, grandmothers, leaders, visionaries, care-takers, married, divorced, healers, space holders, and community gatherers. We are the full range of Woman. We have experienced life, been brought to our knees, felt death, grief, and the deepest love. We are strong, resilient, and fierce. We are every color, every shape, every size, and every expression. The thing that unites us is the desire for real, authentic, feminine community and to live a life outside of patriarchal rules.
