Michelle Argyris: Softer Feminine Isn't Weakness But the Power That Doesn't Scream To Be Seen (Founder Windtuition Wellness, Actress, Canadian)

 

"The first step is radical self-honesty. Before you can claim who you are, you have to admit where you’ve abandoned yourself. Where have you said yes when your body said no? "

Q. You’ve made a mark in the entertainment world with roles in Shadowhunters, General Hospital, and more. What inspired your evolution from actress to a healing facilitator and entrepreneur?

My journey into the entertainment world gave me so much—a platform, a voice, and a deep understanding of human emotion. But what I didn't expect was how much of myself I had to sacrifice to keep up with the industry’s pace and pressure. 

There was a point where I realized I was living for the outside world’s validation, and in that chase, I lost touch with my own body and truth. Breathwork, plant medicine, and somatic healing brought me home. 

That inner reunion was so profound, I knew I had to share it. Becoming a healing facilitator wasn’t a pivot—it was a remembering. Windtuition Wellness was born out of that remembering: that we each carry wisdom in the winds of our own intuition.

Q. As someone with French and Macedonian heritage, how have your cultural influences shaped your identity, both in front of the camera and in your wellness practice?

Growing up with strong cultural traditions taught me the value of family, food, storytelling, and intuition. That depth shows up in my work, whether I’m on screen or guiding a breathwork ceremony. 

I’ve always carried a strong sense of ancestral wisdom, and in my healing practice, I often feel like I’m channeling not just from spirit, but from the matriarchs who came before me. There’s a sacred fierceness in that.

Q. What led you to create Windtuition Wellness, and what does the name signify to you on a personal or spiritual level?

The name Windtuition came to me in a park in Los Angeles where I felt utter stillness, and the wind was caressing my skin pulling into presence. It was a feeling I could not see, but I could feel, much like my intuition. 

It felt ancient, elemental, and feminine. To me, Windtuition means listening to the subtle winds of your inner knowing. It’s that moment when you're still enough to hear the truth that’s already living in your bones. 

Creating Windtuition Wellness was a declaration that healing doesn’t have to be a push—it can be a soft returning. It’s a space where we honor breath as medicine, the body as oracle, and intuition as the most powerful compass. 

From online programs, in person ceremonies to beautiful women's retreats, Windtuition is a soft place to land and a community that invites you with open arms.

Q. You’ve worked closely with trauma recovery centers and detox facilities. What is your approach when holding space for individuals dealing with deep emotional wounds?

Working with detox and recovery centers has been incredibly meaningful in my work. My role is not to fix—it’s to witness, to regulate, and to hold a safe enough container for someone to meet their own truth without shame. 

I work from the understanding that trauma isn’t just what happened to you, but what got stored in your body when no one was there to hold it with you. 

So I focus on co-regulation, breath, sound, and presence. And most importantly, I listen—not just to what’s said, but to what’s not. Holding space is a sacred responsibility, and I approach it with reverence.

Q. You practice a range of healing modalities—breathwork, Reiki, sound healing, and intuitive channeling. Is there one modality you always return to for your own healing?

Always breath. It’s the gateway. Breath is the bridge between the seen and unseen, between mind and body, between who we are and who we’re becoming. When I’m dysregulated or disconnected, I don’t need answers—I need access to myself again. 

And breath does that for me every time. It clears the noise, rebalances my nervous system, and brings me into presence. It’s ancient, primal, and free. I love the other modalities dearly, but breathwork is the heartbeat of everything I do.

Q. You often talk about helping women reconnect with their nervous systems and embrace their “softer feminine.” What does that term mean to you, and why is it important today?

The “softer feminine” is not about weakness—it’s about deep, embodied power that doesn’t scream to be seen. It’s the ability to receive, to feel, to rest, to magnetize instead of chase. 

So many women are burnt out from living in a loop of proving and performing. We’ve been taught that safety lives in control and productivity. But true safety comes from being at home in your body, in your cycles, in your softness. 

When we regulate our nervous systems, we return to that softness—not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Because from that place, our intuition sharpens, our relationships deepen, and our purpose unfolds with more ease.

Q. In a time when so many people feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they really are—what do you believe is the first step toward gaining a strong sense of identity, standing firm in our beliefs, and living a life that feels truly meaningful?

The first step is radical self-honesty. Before you can claim who you are, you have to admit where you’ve abandoned yourself. Where have you said yes when your body said no? 

Where have you stayed small to be accepted? Where have you overridden your truth to stay safe? Once you name those places, your healing begins. 

From there, you rebuild—not from who the world told you to be, but from who you remember yourself to be. It’s not about becoming—it’s about unlearning. Coming back to resonance. To your own inner architect. That’s where meaning begins.


This season, I’m opening the portal to a series of soul-stirring offerings designed for deep feminine remembrance and reclamation. 

Join me under the desert stars for our next Plant Medicine Retreat in Joshua Tree (August 22–24)—an intimate immersion into the intelligence of nature, guided ceremony, and heart-awakening truth. 

In the fall, we gather in the red rock womb of Sedona for Sacred She (October 24–28)—a sisterhood sanctuary of breathwork, ritual, and embodied devotion. 

SHECODE also returns this September—an online women’s playground for nervous system nourishment, somatic alchemy, and soft power rebirth. For those desiring deeper intimacy and personalized transformation, I’m also offering a limited number of private coaching and 1:1 breathwork sessions.

It is open to all genders—crafted to support your unique path of healing, embodiment, and expansion. Each offering is a sacred invitation to come home to the truth of who you are.
