About

Hi there! I’m Michelle, a coach and encourager for your work and life.

I thrive when I see those around me thrive. I am committed to my own evolution and growth and inspiring growth in others.

A LITTLE PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

I was a finance professional in asset management, spending over a decade serving clients at a distance.

Then, about 10 years ago, I let myself pause to consider those moments when I felt I was making my highest point of contribution. It was when I was able to serve clients and those in my community up close. It was when I had meaningful conversations about life, relationships, and work. It was when I was able to serve as a confidant, strategic partner, and encourager.

With this clarity, I shifted my focus to coaching and community building and know I've found my calling.

Taking the time to introspect and grow in self-awareness was essential to curating a life I wanted.

Though it was hard to look critically at the status quo, it paid dividends. When I stepped into this more thoughtful way of living, it's like I'd come alive. I became energized and engaged. I felt excited to wake up in the morning and my days seemed filled with purpose.

This transformation impacted all areas of my life - my personal relationships, my work, my sense of wellbeing, my health. Creating a thoughtful life aligned with who I am did not just impact me; it positively impacted those around me, too.

Now I'm passionate about partnering with others to curate their lives. We look closely at what's working and what's not, and then take strategic steps to close the gap.

Your journey to thriving is unique to you - I walk alongside you as you make changes to curate your life.
