Born on April 25, 1988 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, beloved Michelle Grambeau transitioned to the light on February 4, 2021, with her parents and sister at her side.In her short 32 years, Michelle lived many lifetimes and walked through the world to a beat that most people cannot hear. Her intuition and gift of spiritual perception was tangible, as she embraced wellness, arts, holistic healing and all of nature’s offerings. In her zest for life she continuously traveled the world: receiving a scholarship and graduating Magna Cum Laude from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, with a degree she created in Urban & Environmental Policy & Innovation. From an early age, she was a leader in both sports and the arts, notably, she played the double-bass in the award-winning high school orchestra and fiercely led her teammates to victory on the Pioneer and Trinity University soccer fields.Michelle’s passion for truth and love for humanity ran deep. After moving to California in her early twenties, she became a certified yoga teacher and started a corporate wellness company, World Wide Well, which brought healing, music, and ancient wellness traditions to the lives of thousands. It was here that she brought together her special skills and sensitivities to help make the world a more sustainable and saner place to thrive.Her dynamic creativity and magic also came alive in her travel, writings, fashion-sense, photography, experimental vegan cooking, music and yoga classes. She collaborated with many renowned transformational communities all across the globe, where she taught workshops and co-wrote a book & card-deck on the healing power of playfulness and connection.Upon her diagnosis at 29, Michelle approached her ‘triple-negative’ breast cancer journey with the same grit and grace as she did with life, sharing her unique spiritual and wellness perspectives with everyone she touched. Those who knew her will always remember her gigantic personality, intelligence, contagious smile and simple magic bursting forth with passion and love. Michelle is survived by her parents, Gregory and Amy Grambeau and her beloved older sister, Marcie Grambeau. Michelle is also remembered by a large extended family, her friends, many worldwide communities, and her two amazing cats Pacha and Huxley.
Condolences
Dear Amy, Greg and Marcie,
I met Michelle on a flight in Australia. She had her diving fins hanging off her (surprisingly light for an international traveler) backpack. She had a wide smile and liked to laugh. We traveled to Indonesia together before I joined the Navy and she went back to the US. We had such a good time together and she'll always be in my heart.
I have only just realized that Michelle has passed on as we lost touch, I am filled with sadness. I will never forget her kind nature and genuine wonder at the world. I know she touched so many people with her spark. She was one of a kind.
I wanted to extend my condolences to your family and let you know that I'll never forget her. Simon McVeigh
Dearest Amy & Greg., We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Regardless of how well we knew you, the loss of such a young and vibrant child never makes sense. I hope some day you will be able to make sense of it all and in the meantime….it sounds like she was an amazing young woman…full of vim and vinegar just like you both. Jamie & Steve Puuri
My heart was crushed reading this news. I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of being a coach on a middle school volleyball team that Michele was on. It was actually my first time coaching and I’m not exaggerating by saying Michelle’s drive, desire, competitive and fun loving positive personality is a huge reason I stayed in coaching. She left a lasting impression on me. That was almost 20 years ago. Proof that she will never be forgotten and has touched so many with her short but well lived time on this earth.. Randy Meadows
I'm so sorry for your loss. Michelle helped me practice yoga and speaking French (before class) at Pleasure Point Yoga in Santa Cruz. She was always full of positive energy and was a wonderful person. Dan Bolger
