“When we started, I was still waiting for my gastric sleeve surgery. I was apprehensive, I had thought it through thoroughly and knew it was the right choice, but I had never had major surgery before. On December 19, I had surgery, and it was very successful. I’ve gone from 221 lbs. to the 170s, and I no longer need insulin.
This transformation happened alongside Michelle’s gentle coaching. She helped everything feel smooth and manageable. At first, I felt I had no time to exercise. In one early session, we decided I could begin walking during lunch breaks and on weekends. Because of serious vision restrictions from years of diabetes, I cannot walk safely at night. Michelle helped me give myself permission to step away from my desk, put up a sign, and go. My walks have doubled on weekends, and I’ve added afterwork walks too. This has been significant, not just for my body, but for my mind.
I’ve also started journaling, something I had never done before. At work, I still face challenges, but I’m looking at them differently and making progress with myself. Recently, I made a breakthrough on a deeply personal issue, something I wasn’t sure I could even talk about. With Michelle’s support, I found new ways to approach it, and what once felt like a complete standstill in my home life now feels lighter and more workable.
I had no idea how much I needed a coach. Michelle has been such a big help to me, on issues so diverse! I’m excited because so much is changing in my life right now. Who would have thought? It feels wonderful to no longer be swimming in my own muck. I now have several clear‑cut purposes in progress.
I truly believe more people should be offered health coaching. I often wonder how different my life might have been if I had a coach years ago.
Sparkles, Michelle, and thanks a million!”

Hi Michelle, you said something recently that has had a profound impact on my health and well-being. You asked if we routinely serviced our cars w/regular oil changes and Hi Michelle,
You said something recently that had a profound impact on my health and well‑being. You asked whether we routinely service our cars with regular oil changes and tune‑ups, which I do. Then you asked if we give our personal health the same attention with regular checkups and recommended exams. I realized I hadn’t been doing that for years. Your questions were a true wake‑up call and completely shifted my perspective on caring for my health.
In the last two weeks, I have:
• Had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones
• Completed a bone density scan and learned I have osteoporosis; I’ve now started Boniva
• Had a mammogram — all clear
• Had a pelvic exam and Pap — awaiting results, which I’m confident are fine
• Scheduled a screening colonoscopy
• Completed full blood work — all normal
• Begun committing to daily exercise
Thank you so much. I wanted you to know the impact of your coaching, your caring, and your wisdom.
