Testimonials
Real Stories. Lasting Results.
At Graceline Institute, we don’t just offer experiences—we facilitate soul-level transformations. Whether through our TempleTech immersives to reset nervous system dysregulation, our self-reliant ways to release the drama and trauma of limbic response, or our core retreat curriculum—we are here to provide radical changes to personality and relationship dynamics. Each community gathering is customized and intentionally designed to catalyze profound emotional clearing, cellular regeneration, life-purpose realignment, and full-body integration.
But don’t just take our word for it.
From the sacred ruins of Greece, Egypt and Peru to the deep inner chambers of the heart within each retreat participant—together WE are the true temple technology. Within each of us is a genius, a leader, an artist, and a healer. Our participants gather just to re/member this. With one another. As we courageously shed outdated stories in order to step into higher power, creation, intuition, and service.
These are the stories of leaders, seekers, therapists, parents, partners, and pioneers—individuals who chose to meet themselves fully and to do the work that most avoid. We are united not just by the desire to heal and to give back, but by the innate wisdom to know that faster transformation happens within a high-frequency transduction field, among others who GNOW to speed up revelation and integration by drafting off of each other.
Welcome to the living proof that deep healing doesn’t have to take years. Sometimes, it just takes the right frequency, the right curriculum, and the right community—with the alchemy of true peers who ground themselves in self-gnosis, curiosity, and laterality.
Here’s what they had to say...
“A Collective Experience Where We All Learned From One Another And Grew Together.”
(Greece, Retreat Attendee)
Embarking on the Greece expedition was truly one of the most awe-inspiring and transformative experiences of my life. From the very moment I arrived in Athens, I was captivated. The first hotel, perfectly situated with a breathtaking view of the Acropolis, set the tone for what would become a journey filled with both spiritual depth and cultural immersion. Gazing upon the ancient structures as the sun set, I could already sense the weight of history, the significance of this land, and the sacredness of the journey ahead.
Meeting the people who were part of this journey made the experience even more profound. The group was tightly curated, and I could feel that each person had a special role in this collective transformation. From the very beginning, there was an unspoken understanding, a shared curiosity, and a love for what we were about to embark on together. The sense of safety within the group allowed everyone to show up authentically, to be vulnerable, and to open ourselves to the magic of the experience. It was clear that this wasn’t just a group of travelers but a community—one that would support, challenge, and inspire each other in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
Each day was meticulously planned, blending exploration of historical sites with moments of personal reflection. One of the standout moments for me was visiting the Acropolis. I had always read about it and seen pictures, but nothing compared to physically standing in its presence. It was here that I began to understand the energetics and frequencies of the ancient temple sites. The energy emanating from the Acropolis was palpable. I could feel the love and intention that had gone into creating these spaces thousands of years ago. It was eye-opening to not only witness these places but to feel them, to connect with the sacred geometry, and to tap into the frequencies that still linger in the air. I realized how much history is not just a story we tell, but a living, breathing energy that we can engage with on a deep, spiritual level.
Throughout the journey, we visited various ancient sites—each with its own unique energy and story. What stood out to me was how intentional everything was. Whether we were exploring the ruins of Eleusis or standing in quiet meditation at the Oracle of Delphi, every moment was infused with a sense of purpose. It was more than just sightseeing. It was about tuning into the ancient wisdom embedded in the land and within ourselves. These experiences sparked a profound curiosity in me—one that transcended the typical historical narratives and made me question the deeper truths behind these sacred sites. I began to understand that history, perception, and storytelling are intertwined in ways that we often overlook, and this realization was both humbling and empowering.
In addition to the historical and spiritual exploration, the group dynamics played a significant role in my personal transformation. Our group was small, tight-knit, and incredibly special. Each person acted as a mirror, reflecting back aspects of ourselves that we might not have otherwise noticed. There were moments of deep connection, vulnerability, and growth as we shared our individual experiences and insights. This wasn’t just a tour group—it was a collective experience where we all learned from one another and grew together. The vulnerability that everyone showed made it possible for us to break down walls and connect in a way that was both healing and transformative.
As we traveled from Athens to the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, the beauty of Greece continued to amaze me. The sunsets, the crystal-clear waters, the vibrant colors of the landscape—each scene was like something out of a dream. But beyond the physical beauty, there was a deep spiritual energy in these places that connected us even further. In Mykonos, we had a powerful group meditation as the sun set over the Aegean Sea, and it was at this moment that I felt a profound sense of alignment with my true self. It was as if everything I had experienced up until that point—the ancient sites, the group connections, the solo reflections—culminated in this moment of deep clarity and peace.
This clarity stayed with me throughout the rest of the trip and has continued to influence me in my daily life since returning home. By the end of the journey, I felt like a new version of myself had emerged—one that was more aligned, inspired, and in love with life. The trip reignited my passion for creativity and gave me a renewed sense of purpose. I felt an overwhelming desire to create something that could help humanity, to take the awe and beauty I had experienced and channel it into something meaningful for others. It’s difficult to put into words just how profound this transformation was, but it was undeniably life-changing.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking to connect deeply with themselves and challenge their perspectives on both history and spirituality. This expedition is far more than a tour—it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with the true history of ancient sites and to tap into the energetic timelines that still pulse through these sacred spaces. It allows you to fully embody the magic that has been witnessed throughout humanity’s history and invites you to be a part of that story.
If you’re ready to open your heart, expand your mind, and embark on a journey of profound personal transformation, this trip will take you there. The experiences, the connections, and the insights you’ll gain will stay with you long after you’ve returned home, offering a deeper understanding of both yourself and the world around you.
“This Is A Life-Changing Curriculum... I Get Something More Profound Out Of The Material Every Time I Attend.”
(K.S. Therapist, Workshop Attendee, Utah, Module 1, 2, 3 & Virtual year-long Co-hort)
“I had no expectations when I was first invited to come to a retreat, but I FELT a visceral calling in my soul. Something about meeting Mickaela helped me to GNOW that she was going to help me answer questions that I didn’t even know I had.
After coming to module 1, I was HOOKED. I signed up for a year-long intensive and attended Module 1, 2, and 3 within a relatively short amount of time. I have attended all three retreats multiple times and get something more profound out of the material every time I attend.
This is a life changing curriculum and Mickaela and the Graceline staff curate a transformative retreat that is unlike anything I have seen.”
- Friendly dismantling of life
- Accelerated life blown apart
- May encounter extraterrestrial beings
- Life as you once knew it will cease to exist and you can never go back.
“This Was A Full Energetic Reset That Helped Me Step Forward In Life With More Freedom, Alignment, And Self-Trust.”
(E.B., Workshop Attendee, Los Angeles, Module 1 & 2)
What made the Graceline experience unlike anything else I’ve tried was the combination of long, intense, repeated breathwork sessions, a room full of high-vibration people with aligned intentions, and a clear, structured method for uncovering the core “master story” I’d been living by.
Thanks to the work I was able to fully release my core wound around guilt (and chipped away at the stuck energy I have around shame). That single breakthrough created a domino effect: I started making decisions with clarity instead of tension. It eliminated guilt around decisions, reduced shame I carried, improved how I handle conflict, and gave me the courage to make life-altering moves: from getting surgery to leaving a job and pursuing personal transformation and growth through it.
This was a full energetic reset that helped me step forward in life with more freedom, alignment, and self-trust.
“You Are Bombarded With Epiphany After Epiphany And All The Confusion You Have Felt About What Is Holding You Back In Your Life Melts Away!”
(Medical Entrepreneur, Los Angeles, Module 1 & 2)
I met Mickaela at the darkest most confusing period in my life. I was 43 years old and I had been struggling with substance abuse issues that had peaked and finally sent my world crashing in on itself. Three months before I took the Graceline Module 1 & 2 courses my family and my wife checked me into a rehab facility because I had had a mental break and spun completely out of control. I had just had to shut down my medical practice and the business that was the culmination of my life’s work because over the previous year I had been heavily abusing drugs and engaging in an affair with my business partner. I had become completely disconnected from reality. When the affair was exposed the repercussions tore everything in my life apart and left me shattered and broken to my core. I didn’t know what I wanted, and I hardly recognized myself anymore. My wife and I had been together for 20 years, and we had never faced anything like this before, and we never imagined we would have to. And yet there I was completely lost from myself with no way to ground myself or find my way out of the hole that I had dug for myself.
Before meeting Mickaela I had completed a 6 month program of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and my wife and I had been in couples therapy for well over a year. Intellectually I understood exactly what I was doing to myself and my relationship. I understood my substance abuse patterns and I knew exactly what was needed for me to repair my relationship with my wife and stop doing drugs. We discussed it every week in therapy, and I wanted to do it with all my heart and mind. I wanted to stop the behaviors that were damaging my life and hurting my life partner whom I loved with every fiber in my body. But I could not stop. I lied to myself every day and told myself that I was doing the work, that I was taking all the necessary steps to be better and do better. But the self sabotaging decisions kept coming. I was on a never ending loop. Every 3-4 weeks like clockwork I would fuck up again and this horrible cycle of trauma would repeat. My wife would catch me in a lie about drugs or about communicating with the person I cheated on her with, and the most painful and horrible progression of shame, guilt, anger, fear, sadness, and hopelessness would consume everything until I was right back in the hole that I could never seem to get out of. If I had not met Mickaela when I did my marriage never would have survived and I would have left everyone in both our families devastated and scared for the rest of our lives. I am not exaggerating in the least. The chaos that I was carrying with me was taking everyone I knew on a rollercoaster that they had no interest in being on. And it was the last thing I wanted to do to them, and I could not have stopped it without the Graceline courses. They changed the course of my life, and in so many ways saved it.
What is so profound about Mickaela’s work is how quickly the transition took place. I did a 4 day intensive that she was teaching in LA where we went through Modules 1 & 2 something like 12 hours a day Thursday through Sunday. It was a crash course, and the shift inside me started with her first lecture on the first day. She is the most eloquent and gifted teacher I have ever heard present. She has synthesized some of the most esoteric ideas about how human beings process and incorporate experience through energy in their bodies into a pragmatic scientific based system that anyone can, not only understand, but can digest. She is a masterful story teller, and she teaches through allegories and parables that speak to you on a deeply personal level. You sit in her lectures thinking to yourself, “why have I never heard this before? It seems so obvious now that she has explained it this way!” You are bombarded with epiphany after epiphany and all the confusion you have felt about what is holding you back in your life melts away. You are in a room with complete strangers whom you realize are as deeply enslaved by their own story as you are and you immediately bond with them in the journey that she is laying out before you. It is the most intense and daunting four days of your life, but you are so fucking eager to go forward with her that you can barely wait for the next lecture and the next exercise. The practical way in which she progresses you through her curriculum speaks to the depth of her expertise and experience living and breathing her teachings. She is a master of her craft and she is inspiring to watch work. I found myself as intrigued by the lessons she was sharing as I was with the way in which she was teaching them. What I learned and applied over that first four day course surpasses two decades of my own exploration into personal development and makes my investment into western therapeutic modalities seem to have been a waste of my time and money. And I don’t say that lightly. The shift in my perception following her courses is so profound that I now experience and approach everything in my life differently. If I were asked to describe it as a metaphor it would be something like this: It feels like putting on a pair of eye glasses for the first time when you never knew you needed them. All the things that you thought you saw clearly were actually almost unrecognizably blurry, but now that you have the glasses on you can see the world in all its vivid intricacies and you realize that you had been missing almost all the important details. I know this sounds unbelievable, but it is true. I have encouraged everyone I love and who I want to see find happiness and success in life to take the Graceline modules. There has been no greater investment of time or money in my life, truly.
Just to wrap up my story, it has been almost a year and a half since I took the first series of courses with Mickaela. I am comfortably sober for the first time in my adult life, I have repaired my relationship with my wife and we have just recently given birth to our first child who certainly never would have been conceived had I not taken those first two modules. In fact, one of the first things I found clarity on soon after I finished modules 1 & 2 was that my wife had been waiting for me to show up for her in a way that she could feel comfortable and safe having a child with me. The moment I understood that it was up to me to be that person, and that I was that person all along, we got pregnant. I am satisfied and content with who I am and I am truly comfortable in my skin for the first time in my life. That is the impact that Graceline had on me, I only wish I had found it 25 years sooner. Thank you Mickaela.
“Completely Transformed My Life... My Heart Opened Fully.”
(J.L., Workshop Attendee, Turkey, Module 4)
Mickaela’s training completely transformed my life. I released decades-old childhood trauma, healed my inner child, and shattered emotional barriers that kept me from giving or receiving love. In just one seminar, my heart opened fully— transforming my relationship and how I experience connection. Out of every program I’ve tried, this was the most profound. If you’re ready to heal deep-seated wounds and unlock your heart’s capacity to love, run. This is where freedom begins.”
“Now I Am In A Healthy Place Of Acceptance Of What Is And My Boyfriend Proposed!”
(L.L., Workshop Attendee, Sarasota, Module 1)
A few months ago, I took a leap of faith and attended my first-ever spiritual journey in Turkey. I wasn’t sure what to expect—or what kind of facilitators would be guiding us in these ancient lands. As good fortune would have it, we had the most wonderful opportunity to learn from the lovely Mickaela Grace. For days, I listened as Mickaela taught us about our energy field, our own torus, and the ancient practices we can all remember and bring into our modern lives.
Before embarking on this journey, I was your classic anxious attacher—unhealthfully clinging to my partner for many years. He was your textbook avoidant. These conditioned behaviors had created a major rift between us—one we couldn’t seem to solve on our own.
I’m not sure at what point during her talks I began to let go of that part of my identity, release old habits, and start to embrace a new version of myself. All I know is that throughout the entire experience, both my boyfriend and I were deeply engaged in everything she was teaching us.
It felt like the first time we had ever received real emotional coaching — and best of all, it was simple, comforting, and transformative. Mickaela’s teachings not only help us remember who we are through emotional coaching, but also connect those lessons to ancient practices, which was fascinating!!
She is a true wealth of knowledge. I only wish more people had access to her emotional training. She could have solved our relationship issues years ago. Now I am in a healthy place of acceptance of what is and my boyfriend proposed! Mickaela Grace with Graceline Institute, the world needs you!
Michaela Grace’s teachings on emotional intelligence transformed my relationship. My partner, once closed emotionally due to childhood wounds and limiting beliefs, who resisted love and commitment , was able to heal and open his heart — and now we’re stepping into a deeply loving, committed union. Her soul-led guidance helps people recognize and release old patterns, moving beyond them to a new way of thinking . Her curriculum is life-changing, and it’s something every school in the world should be teaching!
“What sets Graceline apart is the way they blend deep psychological insight with clear, actionable tools and a new way of operating in the world.”
(S.S., Workshop Attendee, Pacific Palisades, Module 1-2)
“Graceline Institute has been a transformative space in my journey-deeply rooted in ancient wisdom. The teachings are insightful grounding, and filled with compassion with compassion for the self. I’m truly grateful for the self. I’m truly grateful for the clarity and healing I’ve experienced through their offerings. I’ve completed three modules, the Cleanse, and private coaching – each one has been profoundly transformational. Every offering is crafted with care and a deep understanding of personal growth, making complex internal work feel accessible and supported. It’s a space where real, lasting change is not only possible, but expected.
What sets Graceline apart is the way they blend deep psychological insight with clear, actionable tools and a new way of operating in the world. Whether in group settings or one-on-one, the work feels empowering and relevant. I’ve walked away from each experience with a stronger sense of self, sharper awareness, and a renewed sense of alignment in my life.”
