Freelease Reset
by Michelle Riverstone
Why This Matters to Me
This project exists because I believe women rebuilding their lives — after a setback, a big change, or just a season that knocked them off path — could use a little help. A place to rest and reset their intentions, be reminded of where they want to go, reset their nervous system and fill their mind with positive, empowering and supportive messages. Something to redirect the mind from negative self talk, doubt or overwhelm. The audio won't solve all your problems, but it will be there to support you as you face them.
Where This Is Headed
Freelease Reset is growing slowly and deliberately — new tracks, new recordings, and eventually immersive nature experiences. If this all resonates, you are welcome to join our free membership community for early releases, albums and behind-the-scenes updates.
Freelease Reset is an immersive wellness audio platform currently in development. It brings together sound healing, mmy own original music and AI generated music, guided meditations, spoken-word and belief-shift audio, affirmations, sleep stories, and nature-based soundscapes in one digital space.
History and Direction
The Craft Behind Freelease Reset
Corporate Background
Physical Transformation
Every track starts with intention, then becomes technical craft. I record using a Sennheiser AMBEO VR microphone — an industry-standard ambisonics mic built to capture fully spherical 360° audio — so instruments don't just play to you, they surround you. Nature soundscapes are woven in the same way, carrying you from a quiet studio into a forest, a river, or the edge of the ocean.
I'm currently completing sound healing certification with Billy Zanski in Nashville, building on mindfulness studies from Monash University's Centre for Contemplative Studies — including mindfulness for peak performance, parenting, and wellness. On the production side, I'm studying composition and orchestration with Dr J Teaches Music, a PhD-qualified Ableton Certified Trainer, and learning Ableton Live and Push 3.
I also bring 26 years' experience running my own migration agency — a business I built from the ground up starting as a single mother with a 12-month-old baby. I know what it takes to work hard toward something when the odds, the exhaustion, and the setbacks are real — financially, physically, and emotionally. That experience is exactly why this project matters to me: I understand what it means to hold onto a dream while life is asking everything of you at the same time.
That same migration practice funds Freelease Reset entirely today. There are no investors, and there never will be — this stays independent, built on my own terms, the same way everything else has been.
Right now, the Freelease Reset app is in development. Stay tuned for track and album releases as it comes together.
Alongside building a business, I've spent the last five years dealing with chronic injury and pain that took away the active, fit identity I'd had my whole life. For a long time, I believed that version of me was gone for good — that I was just older now, injured, and it was time to accept a smaller life. I stopped moving. I stopped believing I could get it back.
I'm done holding that belief. The high-energy workout tracks and daily Radio in Freelease Reset exist because I'm using them myself — to rebuild strength and stamina I let go of, and to retrain my own mind out of "I can't" and back into "I'm doing this." The mantras and meditations came from the same place: catching myself mid-spiral, and choosing a different thought on purpose, over and over, until it starts to stick.
This isn't content I designed from the outside looking in. I'm building the version of Freelease Reset I needed for myself first.
