Sanadora | Retreat Facilitator | Reiki Master Teacher | Intuitive Coach | YogaTeacher

A lifelong seeker of transformation, I blend ancient wisdom and modern healing to guide others on their awakening journeys. Rooted in ancestral connection, intuition, and embodied spiritual practice, my work spans energy healing, yoga, and global retreats.

Since 2003, I’ve devoted myself to mind-body healing, teaching and practicing Reiki since 2012, and facilitating retreats and ceremonies that integrate practices like meditation, yoga, Akashic Records, Theta Healing, Mediumship and more. From Full Moon Ceremonies in South Florida to sacred spaces on Lake Atitlán, my offerings are devoted to awakening, connection, and remembrance.

Now based in San Pablo La Laguna, Guatemala, I am honored to be a resident healer at Villa Sumaya and to continue sharing transformational experiences across cultures and continents. Whether through one-on-one sessions or group retreats, I hold space for those ready to step into their healing, their voice, and their power.

Michelle Margaret Fajkus brings warmth, wisdom, and authenticity to her teaching. With over two decades of yoga practice and teaching, a deep love for writing, and 15+ years of living in Guatemala, Michelle is passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces for transformation. Her approach is rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and the belief that everyone is their own guru.

Michelle is a seasoned yoga teacher, mindfulness facilitator, and retreat leader with over a decade of experience guiding groups at Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. She has practiced yoga since 1993, taught since 2002, and led retreats since 2010. Michelle’s approach blends the ancient wisdom of yoga and the sacred Mayan calendar, creating a unique and transformative experience for her retreat participants.

As a 6 Kej (Deer) in the Mayan calendar, she embodies the energy of freedom, connection with nature, and spiritual leadership. Michelle has interpreted dozens of Mayan fire ceremonies alongside local spiritual guides and offers personal Mayan readings to help participants understand their soul path. Through yoga, guided meditations, dynamic workshops, and sacred ceremonies, she supports others in cultivating mindfulness, joy, and a deeper connection to themselves and the natural world.
