Peace

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a culture of conscious touch that strengthens community, deepens trust, and restores our collective well-being.

Our Vision

A world where touch is free from stigma and exploitation, recognized instead as a human right that fosters healing, advances justice, and supports equitable community and economic development.

The Stragety

Our strategy is to provide conscious somatic services and education designed to support holistic wellbeing, while simultaneously reinvesting our offerings into developing economies in Latin America. For every service or class we deliver, we make the same curriculum accessible to women in these regions, expanding new economic opportunities, somatic healing practices, and the ability to ripple these tools throughout their communities.

Our Story

Touch of Peace is rooted in the belief that conscious, consensual touch supports healing and connection. Through somatic education and bodywork, we integrate personal wellbeing with social impact.

Meet the Founder

Mishelle Gonzalez is an artist, a somatic practitioner, educator, and social entrepreneur whose work bridges healing, education, and economic empowerment. From an early age, she has been interested in how social issues can be addressed at both local and global levels, which led her to study International Relations, Latin American Studies, and Education.

Her work as a licensed massage therapist since 2020, combined with her own experiences receiving bodywork, revealed the profound impact that conscious, intentional touch can have on individuals mentally, physically, and spiritually—far beyond its common framing as luxury or purely physical care. This understanding became central to her approach, shaping a trauma-informed, consent-based model rooted in presence, dignity, and nervous system safety.

Alongside her healing practice, Mishelle works in economic development in Colorado, providing education and consultation to small businesses. Through this work, she identified both a demand and an opportunity to scale social impact through community-based wellness, workforce development, and education—particularly models that center women as healers, leaders, and economic anchors within their communities.

Raised in Colombia and deeply influenced by the resilience of her home region of Valle del Cauca, Mishelle witnessed how communities facing poverty and armed conflict relied on collective care, creativity, and shared resources to survive and rebuild. Touch of Peace was created as a reflection of these values—integrating somatic healing, education, and social enterprise to support individual wellbeing while contributing to collective healing and long-term community resilience.
