From ‘stuck’ and ‘lost’ to having a clearer vision, feeling more confidence and peace

“I first met Michelle at a networking event and right away felt that I had met a kindred spirit. At the time, I had been certified as a Life Coach but had not yet committed to pursuing that as a career path. Michelle entered the picture at just the right time (not a coincidence) and I soon made the decision to seek coaching from her as I could see she was helping others in the same way I wanted to. And she is a great example of what I aspire to be as a Coach.

Before working with Michelle, I felt ‘stuck’ and a bit lost. Previously, I had owned and managed a successful and fun salon/spa for 17+ years where my confidence was not lacking. I sold the salon as I wanted to make some changes in my life…and I sure did, all over the place. I have no regrets whatsoever and it has been so wonderful, but in the process of finding my best path as a Life Coach and helping other women gain confidence and find their best path, much to my surprise – my own confidence took a dip.

As I look back on our coaching, I am surprised at how much has changed and how much I have grown as a result of our work together. My confidence has grown substantially. I have a much clearer vision of what a positive and inspired Coach looks like and I am utilizing tools that Michelle helped me create. So, not only do I have a great foundation to build upon, I also feel a sense of peace in choosing this path. Michelle helped me see my strengths, encouraged me every step of the way, and she asks the right questions that help us see what we sometimes cannot see for ourselves. Her coaching is very customized to fit the needs of each individual client. I always left our calls feeling energized and inspired!

What a joy and inspiration it is to work with Michelle. I not only feel like I gained a terrific mentor, but a friend as well – and that, to me, is priceless! She has such a caring, kind, open, and genuine style of coaching that makes it easy for clients to be honest with her and themselves, which is critical in coaching. She is flexible and easy going, which made me feel at ease and peaceful with the experience, and it also set a beautiful example of what I want to have my clients experience when they work with me. Michelle has so much to offer and she does so without hesitation. She shares her own experiences openly and freely and that is so refreshing and inspiring! Michelle also always seems to know just what to say at just the right time, which helps and encourages me to find what I am looking for within myself.

I am grateful and honored to have worked with you, Michelle! A true gift! You are a rock star!”
