    Life changing
    Thank you, Michelle. I discovered your podcast at a time of great stress and unhappiness, so I am so thankful for your intelligent, charming stories. I am now able to sleep restfully, with you in the background. You are a delight! I look forward to each whimsical tale. 💕
  • kjrybolt
    Miss first person story..I like imagining myself and not others
    Found this channel to replace another channel that started charging…only channel I found that does first person stories and puts you in charge but recently her stories are about others and it really kills the vibe. I don’t care about characters all other channels have stories…I want to imagine myself going on journeys. So sad for this change…

    Loud ads, too disruptive.

    A very special treat
    I thoroughly enjoy drifting off to sleep with these enchanting and well told bedtime stories for adults. Michelle takes me around the world with each new story, and each one is delightful. Her voice is soothing and well modulated to help ease you to sleep. Thank you for this wonderful podcast!!
  • KathieMarieMartina
    So Soothing
    Thank you, Michelle! I love your sleep stories and soothing voice. My favorites are the ones that involve rain; although I’m usually sound asleep before you finish the story. What a gift!
  • Moonflowerkl
    A treasure discovered
    I just found this podcast and I am so glad. Michelle’s voice is beautiful, the music and ambiance are well done and the stories are so full of details to capture my restless mind and help me doze off. Love this podcast💜💜

    Love it… but more love stories!
    This is an absolutely beautiful podcast. I discovered your stories through Insight Timer and I cannot get over them! Your Paris love story on insight timer is a work of art. Please do more love stories!🩵💚
  • Nicole.Nicole000
    LOVE! Fav is the witches’ cottage!
    Now, instead of worrying about being able to fall asleep at night, I look forward to listening to this podcast. I very rarely hear the end of the podcast, because I usually fall asleep. Thank you for making my nights feel safe and enjoyable 💜
  • LonelyLittleKitsch
    Your stories are beautiful and so is your spirit!

    Thank you, Michelle!
    Thank you for taking the time to write and record soothing sleep stories and meditations. They are so comforting. My favorite is Snow Day! It brings back so many memories of my childhood, during a much simpler time. Thank you for sharing your talent. 🫶🏻
  • Johnrbi66
    Thank you
    You have the voice of an angel and with your voice, I’m able to fall asleep comfortably. Thank you
  • Just a Girl who games
    You are a beautiful human!
    Your sleep stories have changed how I approach sleep. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your calm voice and comforting stories and teaching me how to let go of the day and turn off the voices in my head.

    Best sleep podcast out there!!!
    I look forward to crawling into bed and turning on this podcast every night! Works like a charm to help calm my anxiety and help me fall asleep. I’ve tried a lot of different podcasts before finding this one, and I personally think this is the best one. So glad I found this podcast and definitely recommend you give it a listen!!

    The best sleep stories
    I found Michelle’s Sanctuary on YouTube last year during a rough time. I am so happy to have discovered her amazing & wonderful stories on Apple Podcasts so that I can download them and put my phone on airplane mode when I go to bed. I have to listen to one to fall asleep and her stories really help my anxiety.
  • kcwitatwist

  • spagal00
    Best podcast for sleeping
    I discovered Michelle’s podcast by chance a few months ago and have been listening to it every night since, though I couldn’t never stay awake long enough to finish the episode☺️! She has the most soothing voice and the stories are super relaxing! I’m so grateful for her podcast and hope it continues for a very long time!🤗🤗🤗
  • stopthefry
    By far the best sleep meditation out there!
    I feel so blessed to have finally found this fabulous podcast! I have listened to so many sleep meditations throughout the years and this one is by far my favorite. It is so descriptive, Michelle has the most soothing voice and the journey she takes you on really comes to life. Ten out of ten!

    Easy Sleep
    Thank you for sharing your soothing voice. I am having such an easier time falling and staying asleep. You help my mind to shut down and remind me to love myself, as an Empath, I always appreciate the extra help.
  • TJP03
    Love the stories!!
    Especially love the rainy ones, or cozying up in a cabin in the Cotswolds…I LOVE getting a new story every week! Wish they were every night! ♥️Thank you so much for your bedtime stories.

    Sleep
    I know my insomnia is bad when I hear the end of the story. Great voice work. My preferred sleep cast.
  • BIGDON01
    Very Relaxing
    Sweet, calm voice. Really helps me relax and go to sleep
  • Boopsquared
    Sleep Game Changer!
    I’m very picky what I listen to when I’m going to sleep. I’ve had chronic insomnia for many years and Michelle’s stories leave me sleepy, happy and relaxed. I can’t say how grateful I am for this podcast. I truly look forward to the new ones. Thank you so much Michelle.
  • Denise Cookie Cook
    Best sleep so ever
    I have struggled with getting to sleep since childhood. Michelle’s calming and descriptive stories with soothing background music send me of to sleep peacefully every night. Her dulcet tones are music and calming to the ears. If I wake up in the middle of the night I can just pick a story and slip right back into dream land. She is truly gifted and I am truly grateful.

    Wonderful
    Michelle your soothing tone and dreamy stories help me drift blissfully into rest. I've tried many sleep podcasts and this is the only one that works every time. Your beautiful clear voice is such a gift. Thank you for doing what you do.
  • Blaro
    Dreamy!
    I usually listen to podcasts for in-depth takes on current events, politics, health and self-improvement, etc, but I’m so glad to see your content here, instead of YouTube! You’re one of the very best, Michelle, and so is this format- I’m looking forward to customizing my sleep routine to your great, beautifully read stories!
  • Fayzaooooui
    Love your podcast but….
    Amazing sleeping tool, just I wish your narration is little bit slower. Thank you
  • youocp
    Migraine
    Michelle has such a soothing voice that all her stories help the chronic pain I experience with migraines . Thank you, Michelle.
  • Blondess
    Life Saver
    Michelle’s content is beautifully crafted to help with sleep, anxiety management and all the good feelings wrapped up in a magical bow. Her YouTube videos are exquisite and unique. She is truly talented and gifted with a rare, pure spirit that sets her apart from her peers and the usual manifestation style videos that can seem repetitive or robotic. I’m so appreciative of the heartfelt work Michelle’s Sanctuary contributes to the world. 😊
  • Lovsie
    The dreamiest podcast
    Whether you’re trying to sleep, dream, or meditate, Michelle’s Sanctuary is the podcast for you. Relaxing, yet powerful, and she has the most soothing voice.
