SERENA MICHEL
Church Health Coach
Serena, also Naiʻa (pronounced: nigh-ah), comes from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Her heritage is Dominican-Haitian, Jewish, and Filipina. Serena is also adopted into the cultures of Kānaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiians) and Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand). Her heart is to see the land within all of us restored so that it flows outwards to the restoration of the physical lands we call home and those beyond ourselves. She believes that God wants to restore our world through Indingenous peoples. Serena has a huge heart to see restoration begin in the generations that will succeed us—our children—believing that the detriment or the flourishing of our world lies in the decisions they will make in the future. Therefore, she approaches her “Planting Seeds” curriculum with the aim to build them up in Truth.
