I adopted the nickname Flexy Michelle because of my flexibility (surprise!) I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I am a yoga instructor, novice contortionist, pole fitness enthusiast/competitor, nutritionist, academic, university graduate, volunteer, travel addict, and sun chaser! Before I decided to pursue a career in health and wellness, I was a rigid, type-A academic destined for law school. I was an over-achiever and a jack-of-all trades. People are often surprised to learn I did stand-up comedy for eight years!
