Join Crystal and Heather as they talk to, special guest Michelle Dutro.
Michelle Dutro grew up in Southern California, served in the military (Air Force), followed by a couple of decades living in Seattle. After several years of corporate life, she questioned her purpose, and ultimately her legacy. Having a strong drive to help others, but just not sure exactly how, all she knew was she wanted to make a difference. Therefore, she decided to become a firefighter/EMT. While it was an amazing opportunity to help others in life-threatening situations, she realized her heart was in helping people prevent emergencies, rather than responding to calls when it’s often too late. This led her to make the decision to transition into spending the next 15 plus years working in the field of preventive medicine. After many years of training and education in various areas of study, it became obvious that stress has the most negative impact to overall health and wellness. It is for this reason that for over decade Michelle has specialized in the field of stress reduction, with a focus on PTSD. She opened the Inner North Star Retreat Center in Julian, CA in 2018 for personalized retreats with a focus on mindfulness and meditation. That same year she received her non-profit status to offer no cost PTSD retreats for Veterans and First Responders. Both sides of the retreat center are centered on creating a compelling future that you were meant to live.
