Testimonials for MicheleI have chosen to receive professional coaching on and off for the last 6 years. Through this journey I’ve learned how to deeply stay, witness myself, let go, and become. Working with Michele was one of the highlight moments in that journey. She possesses unique gifts of listening and intuitively asking questions. She also shines a beautiful light of love and hope. These powerful gifts combined to create the ideal environment for me to choose more curiosity and connection. I was able uncover and discover old beliefs and personas that were at the heart of my self limiting behaviors. Over time and with her wisdom and insight she helped me face and accept these old ways. She invited me to add drops of love and kindness and make new choices. It was truly a transformational experience.
I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking to reconnect or recommit to a life with more ease and happiness.
