Certified Life Coach and Inspirational Author
Michelle's Journey
Hi, I’m Michelle! I am an Inspirational Author and a certified Transformational Life Coach.
​
I grew up being a perfectionist and did everything I could not to displease others so that I wouldn't have to feel the sting of rejection. My life looked successful on the outside, but on the inside, I was struggling with loving myself. I lived my life being outward focused and trying to earn my worth. My lack of self-knowledge and self-esteem resulted in low energy and chronic health issues most of my life, but I had always managed to push through.
Then in 2018, after three consecutive moves in 16 months, my nervous system became severely overtaxed. I had been able to bounce back in the past every time, but this time I couldn't. I found myself feeling mentally exhausted and completely disconnected from my heart. I had no other choice but to make healing a priority in my life.
I decided to dedicate a full year to going inward. During this time, I was journaling every day, and my thoughts and insights culminated in my self-published inspirational book I Am Loved. I began living life in a whole new way that was starting to feel authentic and joyous. And then Covid and an international move happened that shook the new foundation I was building.
​
I then realized that I went as far as I could alone and I needed to reach out for support. I became a client of a coaching program by Nancy Levin. The real change happened when I started doing the inner work with my coach; I was learning how to make my needs matter and integrating important life skills. By doing the inner work consistently with the guidance of a coach, I learned even more about myself, my hidden fears, and my false beliefs. I learned tools that helped me honor my voice in all of my relationships. I became skillful in creating and upholding boundaries that supported my authentic self. I became an advocate for my needs. I was finally able to bridge the gap of living an inauthentic life to a more fulfilling one, a step at a time. My increased energy, confidence, and self-esteem became noticeable; and my transformation not only benefited me, but all my relationships as well.
My personal coaching experience was not a quick-fix solution but rather the beginning of a process of learning and embodying an authentic and empowering way of living. It is not enough to learn about oneself, action is necessary. Instead of staying stuck in stories and limitations, coaching is about self-discovery and making new powerful choices. Working with a coach guided me in finding the answers that were unique and right for me, and I believe it can do the same for you.
​
I was so inspired by this transformational process that I became a certified coach. I studied for seven months under Nancy Levin and continue to learn additional modalities with her, as I embody this work every day. My mission is to share this transformational work and guide my clients in creating a fulfilling life that aligns with their truest selves.
