HELLO, I’M
Michelle
I am an ICF certified life coach who has worked in Marketing for 15+ years. I have experience working in the corporate world, and am interested in Buddhist philosophy, massage, yoga, meditation, and psychology.
As a child, I grew up wanting to be a therapist, but heeded the advice of my parents to pursue a profession that “made more money” and went into Marketing. I wish I had become a therapist instead, in retrospect, but enjoyed Marketing for as long as I did. I am thrilled to be your coach and to assist you in the journey of finding your best, happiest, most successful life.
I’ve lived in San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City. Currently residing in Brooklyn, I love my life here and am open to virtual (Zoom) and in-person sessions with my clients.
In my spare time, I enjoy biking, traveling, playing music, making art, cooking, baking, yoga, meditation, and reading. Personal growth has always been an area of fascination for me, as well as positive psychology.
I am also a coach who has lived experience with Bipolar disorder, and I hope to be able to help my clients with mental health diagnoses like Bipolar, OCD, anxiety, and depression through my own experience. I consider myself a vessel of light — and I hope to get you grounded again and seeing your “mental illness” through a new light. Bipolar has taken so much from me - and yet, it has led me to the greatest life lessons and inner peace. Many years after this diagnosis, I am stable and happy. I hope to get you to the same place no matter where you are in your journey.
My Approach
You are perfect, like nature.
I approach coaching with a deep reverence for my clients — they are perfect, just as nature is. I will employ a strengths-based approach with you in all of our sessions to help you realize sustainable growth.
You are wholly unique.
Just like plants in nature with their varying needs for water, sunlight, shade, or fertilization, you have your own distinct needs. I will work to understand your unique make-up and tailor my coaching to you — I want to help you thrive.
People coach with me to:
Get clarity on their needs and wants
Move towards healthy and fulfilling relationships
Break free from depression, anxiety, OCD, the grips of bipolar
Live a healthier, more balanced, empowered, and joyful life
Come back to themselves and discover their authenticity and the joy of living as who they truly were meant to be
When they feel stuck, lost, powerless, or hopeless and want to rediscover joy, authenticity, and their own inner power
Build self love and inner security
Develop trust in themselves
Anyone who wants to live their best life and could use a tune-up!
