About Michaela

A self-described ‘believer in magic’, Michaela MacDonnell is first and foremost a connector of people. In 1999, seven months pregnant with her son, Jetsun Rama, she responded to the burgeoning needs of the Bali market and began to bring professional models to the island.

“I’ve always sought to push the boundaries of production in Bali, bringing more creative and talented individuals here to ensure world-class delivery on the island that we love so much,” reveals Michaela.

Drawing on her production roots of circus and event spectaculars, Michaela helped to form a warm, open and supportive professional community. Deeply passionate, Michaela sees each day as an adventure in which she and her team support each other in creating miracles.

“By acknowledging that every one of us is a miracle, we allow our staff, talent and clients to shine brightly and create miracles together,” adds Michaela.
