Ojibwa Tea of Life update

It is with great sadness that we report the recent death of our founder and owner, Michelle Kalevik.

Michelle was a Master Herbalist, and retained certifications in CNC (Certified Nutritional Consultant), Homeopathy/Homotoxicology, Medical Aromatherapy Level I, and as a CRM (Certified Reiki Master).

In 2008, Michelle was honored with a Certification as a Medicine Woman/Spiritual Leader in the Oklevueha Native American Church of San Pete. She continued her dedicated studies with the Nemenhah Seminary for over nine years.

Her early formal education began with Associate and Bachelors degrees in Early Childhood Education. While residing in the United Kingdom from 1977-79, she pursued graduate studies in counseling. Michelle’s varied background was pertinent to the dedication of her work as owner of Ojibwa Tea of Life™. Additional areas of note are published articles on the use of Ojibwa Tea of Life, natural health research, and founder of a natural wellness support group.

Michelle summarized her life's work as:

“I encourage others to follow their hearts by listening to one’s own inner wisdom. By pursuing the myriad of natural health modalities available, healing becomes a process. Seeking inner wisdom and Spiritual answers, a powerful enlightening transformation of growth occurs. My mission is to share the knowledge and availability of herbal remedies and natural healing modalities, by assisting individuals in locating resources and choices that perhaps they are unaware of.

Years of research and communion have led me to the awareness of Native American culture. Nothing is done without prayer, whether beginning a new day or conducting a ceremony. Treatment of oneself must first start with the Spirit, then the mind and lastly the body, according to how we were created. For the Native American, Medicine, or the power to heal, is generated by Spiritual Practice. Through dreams one is guided to new plant allies. In quiet moments, they are inspired to use therapies involving roots, barks and leaves, minerals, water, air and fire.”

Personal illness motivated Michelle to take responsibility for seeking alternative paths rather than have radical surgery. Profound healing began as a process on many levels: spiritual, emotional, physical.

“This healing journey led me to becoming an natural health practitioner. As one of my many choices for wellness, I formulated a Native American remedy and created a company called Ojibwa Tea of Life™.”

The journey of natural health, active individual growth, and personal experience continued after 18 years of research. Michelle divided her time between Denver and the Pacific Northwest, traveling to locations to continue the journey of knowledge. In September 1998, she spoke on a health radio show in Rhode Island about Ojibwa Tea of Life™ and Native American healing. Additional experiences include a personal healing ceremony with Lakota Medicine Men Godfrey and Charles Chipps and Lakota Grandmother Elder, Victoria Chipps.

Ultimately, Michelle's proudest achievement came in the hundreds and thousands of lives she impacted through her work in Ojibwa Tea of Life. To all her customers, we offer a heartfelt thank you.

Health blessings to all.
