Feeling stronger and no longer gasping for air

“The first time I worked with Michelle was the beginning of 2007. She helped give me the clarity, calm, and focus to find my dream job – literally. Then fast forward to the end of 2013. I was the mother of 18-month-old twins, and my husband and I had just relocated to a new country. I felt totally lost in my role as a new mother in a new country, and I felt like all I was doing was playing a serious game of ‘catch-up’ in my life.

I didn’t know where to begin. How can I make peace with this new role? How do I organize myself? How do I enjoy life? The list of questions was long. I wasn’t complaining, as I truly do appreciate all that I have been blessed with in life. But I was just not able to keep up. I was just hanging on…and what a horrible feeling to be so drained. It’s a weight that you can’t shoulder for very long without feeling like you are in quicksand. I think Michelle would use the example that I was not ‘putting my own oxygen mask on first before assisting others’. I was out of air and out of energy and needed her, specifically her.

Michelle helps you see clearly. She helps you push aside and sort through all the clutter, until you can deal with the important and necessary aspects of your life. Her coaching is definitely not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ – it’s tailored to where each person is in their life. Through fine-tuning and really getting to the root of how I operate, I was able to create new habits in my life. We are all individuals, after all, and we need to deal with our lives in the way that works best for each of us. Michelle helps you do just that.

I am a better mom and wife, and I’m stronger physically and mentally because of Michelle’s coaching. I am no longer gasping for air. I have made time for myself and to be present.”
