“Wellbeing isn’t a destination—it’s a partnership of presence, curiosity, and courage. Together, we discover what’s possible.”
Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is holding the space for them to unlock what they already know rather than teaching them.
Her support and belief in me have been instrumental in my progress. Michelle balances pushing me beyond my comfort zone with providing the encouragement and tools I need to succeed. I feel blessed to have her as my coach—she is an extraordinary person and a shining example of what a great coach should be.” Respectfully,
When Michelle became my coach, she challenged me to stop waiting until retirement to pursue my dreams and asked, ‘What would it look like to start those dreams NOW?’ With her support, I set my White Fence goal: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. In 2015, I stood at the summit with the biggest smile on my face—something I never thought possible before coaching.
Over the years, Michelle helped me push through adversity, from recovering after a heart attack to returning to the John Muir Trail after a burn‑over. Her compassion, wisdom, and ability to say the right thing at the right time kept me moving forward.
Michelle not only helped me achieve my dreams—she taught me resilience, accountability, and how to live a life worth being proud of. She is an absolute champion. Dream big, because with Michelle as your coach, those dreams can become reality.”
In my tenure, I have worked with other mentors, and indeed I was successful in meeting my individual development goals, but this experience was filled with super empowerment that led to a supercharge within me. The thought of I think I can, is now, I know can and I will. This transformation within me changed my approach, confidence, collaboration, and results. Michelle is the heartbeat of this coaching experience. Her powerful feedback during our coaching was especially enlightening and have encouraged my professional development with renewed focus and determination.
Warm regards,”
