For more than 17 years, Michelle Cilio, LE, CRT, CALC, worked in the health and wellness industry as an esthetician, beauty consultant, and as owner of Michelle’s Island Dreams Day Spa in Millburn. In 2013, she decided to shift to what she loved best:  Healing and caring for mind, body, spirit and soul, which led to the opening Nature’s Touch.

“Though Nature’s Touch, I can provide a variety of skin care services using all natural and organic skin care products, and offer education on caring for your skin,” states Michelle. “Plus, as a holistic practitioner, I can also offer a greater variety of healing modalities.” These offerings include chakra clearing and balancing, crystal healing, Native American healing, mindfulness, guided imagery and visualization techniques/education, wellness workshops, life coaching and tarot card readings.

Michelle’s love for helping and healing combined with her empathic gifts allow her to truly connect with clients on deep levels.  “My fulfillment comes from knowing that I was able to make my client leave feeling truly comforted, relaxed, open spiritually and ready to take action steps to create a better path for themselves and to help themselves become strong and confident again,” says Michelle.

Since its opening in 2013, Nature’s Touch has evolved into more than just beauty and wellness—it has become a sanctuary for many of her clients, allowing them to feel safe and at peace. “Once people experience the “magic” of what I have to share, they want to return,” says Michelle. The “magic” is serene relaxation blended with insight, education, wisdom, and empathy offered with undivided attention.

Central to her approach is sharing the knowledge that physical health is very much controlled by emotions and feelings. Michelle explains, “People don’t realize that trauma can actually cause health issues. Learning how to cope with certain things that come their way can help keep energy fields clear and flowing, and that helps with physical healing too.”

At her core lies a passion to help people to look, feel and live better lives, to open their minds to other modalities and other spiritual practices for the betterment of body, mind and spirit. Through following her inner guidance to open Nature’s Touch, Michelle’s unique gifts and services found a home to help others to heal and thrive.
