Be Who You Are and Shine 

This is a wholehearted invitation to transition from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling grounded and knowing what is next in your work and life. It is an invitation to land in your true essence. 

Life transitions and change are inevitable, whether it is a desire for new work, the end of a relationship, becoming a new parent, or the death of a loved one. They are hard as they stir up change and uncertainty.

Life transitions can also be a sacred time of self-reflection and exploration to discover what is next on your journey of purpose.

  • If you are in a work-life transition, I got you.

  • If you feel like something is missing, I got you.

  • If you feel a little lost and a lot frustrated, I got you.

  • If you desire to feel more aligned and alive in your work and life, I can help guide you.

Work With Michelle

Do you crave clarity? Are you feeling frustrated, lost, and stuck?

Do you have several ideas regarding your next chapter but need support on where to begin? 

Many clients come to me when they are tired of feeling frustrated or burnout. They have a mustard seed of hope that life and work could be more fulfilling. They have a whisper that there is more for them to do in the world to make an impact, big or small. They just need to figure out WHAT IS NEXT.

You need not do it alone; change is possible. Making a change can be uncomfortable, but it can also be a gratifying journey when you choose to get support. I would love to support you in creating more of what you desire and help you discover and nurture your purpose.

  • Coaching helped me start living my authentic best life. I left my job, and more importantly, I developed the confidence and trust in myself to lead the way. Working with Michelle is like being supported by a therapist, priestess, coach, and friend all in one! I felt truly held in her competent hands. When you falter along the way (because faltering is part of the deal), Michelle will lovingly pick you up and guide you back to yourself and the vision you have created. Having Michelle in your corner is a precious gift I will cherish forever.

  • Michelle is an excellent coach! What Michelle gave me was guidance based in a solid coaching framework and leveraging her strong intuition, empathy, and compassion--and humor--while working through a career transition. I have recommended her to friends and participated in a small group workshop where she used her considerable group facilitation skills to create a safe and engaging environment for collaborative coaching.
