Michelle Bartha, Certified Master Hypnotist

I’m Michelle, though many know me by Shelly. I am the heart behind Luminous Roots Hypnotherapy.

After years in the corporate world—juggling leadership, change management, and the quiet weight of burnout—I found my way back to healing through the subconscious. My path wasn’t linear, but it was rooted in one truth: we all carry wisdom within us, waiting to be heard. Now, I help others uncover their own truths—often buried beneath layers of self-pressure and societal expectations.

We tap into the subconscious not to fix you, but to remind you that you’ve always had the wisdom and strength within. Whether we're working through anxiety, unblocking your next best steps, exploring past lives, reconnecting with your inner child, or simply taking a breath—you’ll be supported in a way that is gentle, safe, and personal to you.

With a background in massage therapy, business leadership, and certified hypnotherapy training from HMI, I blend intuition with practical tools to meet you exactly where you are. No preset scripts. No judgment. Just space to explore and come back home to yourself.

If you're ready to take that next step, let’s uncover what’s been holding you back—and discover what’s ready to grow.

My Journey and Discovery

Before I stepped into the world of hypnotherapy, I worked as a massage therapist, then spent years in corporate change management. I understand stress from the inside out — the kind that builds quietly over time until it starts to feel like part of who you are. I also know the power of slowing down, going inward, and letting your inner wisdom lead the way back to clarity and calm.

My path to hypnotherapy came from my own healing. Through deep subconscious work, I learned that many of our blocks and fears come from old stories — some from this life, and some from lives before. I became fascinated with the mind’s ability to heal, release, and transform, and decided to build a practice where others could safely explore that too.

Rooted In Intuition

At Luminous Roots, I blend intuition with structure, offering both modern and metaphysical approaches to healing. I don’t follow a single spiritual path, and I welcome yours — whatever you believe, your journey belongs to you.

I specialize in:

- Stress and anxiety relief

- Inner child healing

- Past life regression

- Subconscious block clearing

- Soul purpose discovery

I, myself, am someone who has had to learn to listen to myself to tune — out the noise of the world and reconnect with my own inner wisdom. That experience has made me especially attuned to helping others do the same. I guide my clients to listen deeply to their own bodies, emotions, and subconscious messages so they can uncover the true root of what’s holding them back — and begin to heal from within.

If you're ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and step into the life you know is waiting for you — I’d love to walk that path with you.
