 To survive a childhood household of anger, poverty, alcohol, drug, mental and physical abuse, and parents divorcing at an early age Michelle learned to read situations quickly.
Payton reflected on this saying, "My physical responses to those (childhood) memories changed positively as I became clearer and kinder to myself and others. My congenital experience -- a divinely curvy, 48% rotation in my spine -- has created an even deeper understanding of how my perceptions can manipulate my reality." (See "Personal Impact of Mind Over Matter" on this Video-Clips page.)
Figuring out how to manifest positive outcomes in the long-term, Michelle became fascinated with how people’s minds worked and her eclectic (mainstream and metaphysical) studies over the past 25+ years revolve around people being more comfortable with themselves and others. She (personally) moved past limiting history and physical conditions to a marriage/partnership of over 30 years, three great kids (yes, there have been challenges), and a joyful, healthy life.
Dr. Payton's specialties -- practicing in the Asheville, NC area -- are Hypnosis (Ph.D. with concentration in and Doctor of Clinical Hypnosis with nearly 500 hours of hypnosis / hypnotherapy and related training), Self-Hypnosis, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Acupressure Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, Biblioprocessing (oral storysharing, writing and reading). Dr. Payton also pulls from her Graduate studies work in English, Undergraduate degree in Communication Arts, experience writing seven books, and uses Astrology, Numerology, and Birth Order to more quickly tap into individual needs.
