06 May Micha Merrick
Micha works at the Esalen institute in Big Sur California, offering somatic herbal bodywork rituals. She specializes in womb massage, herbal poultice bodywork and ancestral Thai massage for all stages of womanhood. Her work includes highly specified prenatal and postnatal techniques, fertility and menopause as well as energetic and emotional clearing. Her herbal massage uses aromatic plants from her garden, steamed to warm the body and calls the spirit of the plants to support you on your path.Micha grew up in a family of healers and earth-based celebration. She knew the medicinal wild plants of her forest and meadow from an early age. learning to meditate in wild spaces and revere the larger circles and cycles to which we belong. For the past seven years she’s lived off-grid in Big Sur, in a magical mountainside yurt-cabin, living with the land, tending her hillside herb garden, stoking her woodstove, attending births, and offering embodied herbal practices at Esalen. Micha uses sound vibration, vocal enchantment and the beauty of aromatic herbs and flowers to open portals of reverence and healing. She experiences life through authentic relationship with her surroundings.
Micha received direct mentorship in earth-based herbal bodywork from Thai Buddhist women’s healers, Bali Hindu-Tirtan Midwives, Lahu Tribe Shamanic midwives, and New England Wise-Women birthkeepers. She’s dedicated to studying herbal embodiment, birth and healing practices from her own Celtic, Nordic and North American ancestral lineages. She brings grounded connection to earth and spirit.
