This is your time
Let's work together to make your
next chapter your best chapter!

Are you thinking...
I am not your typical retiree.
There are so many things I want to do.
I know I am starting to drive my partner crazy because I am hanging around too much.
The “honeymoon” phase of my retirement has definitely worn off.
I need to figure out what to do with myself.
I just need help getting started.

Sound Familiar ?
People keep telling me how lucky I am
to be retired.
I feel lucky to be retired but I feel like I am spinning my wheels and I'm embarrassed to talk about it.
I know that I want to do more with my life and my best days are not over.
But I feel like time is slipping away.
I want to feel engaged with life,
positive and energetic.
But I don't know where to start.

Imagine yourself...
Waking up in the morning and looking forward to your day
Confident in your future and yourself
Thinking this is what I envisioned my life to be
Having new meaningful relationships
Feeling young spirited and vibrant
Excited and eager
Having and working your plan
Content with your life
Liberated from feelings of doubt
Meet Michelle
Hi, I'm Michelle,
Perhaps you are wondering how I came to be a life coach.
​For over 35 years, I wore many hats; as a wife, mom, daughter, friend and entrepreneur and business owner. I felt constantly stressed, overwhelmed, and pulled in countless directions. I couldn't wait to be done with work and start a new life where I had the freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted.
​
So, when the opportunity to sell my
business came along,I jumped at it.
Initially, it felt like a dream come true,
but as time when on, the novelty wore
off and I found myself bored,
discontented and disconnected.
I had always been able to figure things
for myself but this time it was different.
Retirement posed its own unique sets of
challenges. I tried a few things here and
there but nothing seemed to fill the void.
I ate too much, drank too much, neglected my own self care and felt guilty. Since I wasn't having success getting unstuck in my own situation, I finally decided to get the help of a Life Coach. Having a coach to brainstorm, explore options, offer guidance and hold me accountable
was life changing for me. I benefited so significantly from the coaching I received that
I felt called to help others in the same way that my coach helped me.
​

I have experienced my own personal journey and I understand the emotional roller coaster of life and this transition.
In my 35 year career as a Case Manager and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor I worked with thousands of individuals facing life-changing transitions due to work-related injuries.

The challenges injured workers face in many ways is very similar to the challenges faced in this transition.

What my clients are saying about me...
“I was introduced to Michelle through my divorce attorney during a really tough time in my life. I was navigating the aftermath of a messy divorce and felt lost. I needed hope and a clear path forward. Michelle's coaching has been a blessing for me. She brings a unique blend of genuine kindness, a great sense of humor, and a no-nonsense attitude to our sessions. Our time together each week feels like a safe space, and I always leave with renewed energy and a sense of purpose.”

"Choosing to work with Michelle has undoubtedly been one of the most rewarding decisions I've ever made. I first crossed paths with her at the hospital where I was working. Michelle was one of the Continuing Education Speakers. She delivered a powerfully inspiring speech on the art of not just surviving but thriving after enduring significant life transitions. Her words left a profound impression on me.
Initially hesitant about the idea of coaching, I took a leap of faith with Michelle, and it has proven to be a game-changer. She has empowered me to make the monumental changes and decisions I already knew I needed to make, but somehow couldn't quite reach on my own."
-Sheryl

“I started working with Michelle when I was going through a major transition in my life due to a severe injury. I needed to get my life back on track but was so lost I did not know where to start. My sessions with Michelle have been invaluable, keeping me steady and providing the gentle accountability I need to help me forge and stay on-track with my new path. Michelle's coaching style is so natural that you may not realize its full effect until you're already on a different path.”
