Welcome, I'm Michelle

For over 20 years, I have dedicated my life to helping others heal, grow, and live with purpose. As a Life Coach, Executive Coach, and Emotional Intelligence Trainer, I’ve supported people through life’s toughest challenges; guiding them from emotional turmoil toward clarity, strength, and meaningful action.

Today, I serve as a Catholic Life Coach, devoted to helping fellow Catholics align their lives with God’s will and experience the transformative power of grace. My coaching is grounded in prayer, Scripture, reflection, and Spirit-led action. I believe deeply in the healing, peace, and purpose that come from living in union with Christ and His Church.

My path has not been a straight one. Over 30 years ago, at a family funeral, I had a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit, an awakening I knew was sacred. But at the time, I lacked the guidance and support to stay anchored in my Catholic faith. Amid the confusion and controversy in the Church, I turned to new-age spirituality, keeping Jesus in the distance. I did find healing tools and helped others along the way, but it wasn’t until the pandemic that I came home. I returned fully to Catholic teaching, and I’ve never felt more whole, more held, or more on mission.

I’ve since completed a Christian Life Coaching certification, and I’m passionate about offering what I wish I had: a faithful guide, someone to walk with you, pray with you, and help you navigate the emotional and spiritual terrain of life, without compromising the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith.

I’ve earned multiple certifications, including:

  • Transformative Executive Coach

  • Integrative Coach

  • MAP Method Coach

  • Compassion Key Coach

  • Christian Life Coach

I’ve also studied advanced methodologies such as Theory U (MIT), and Immunity to Change (Harvard).  

As a Catholic Life Coach, I can help you:

  • Prepare spiritually and emotionally for the Sacraments

  • Reconnect with your Catholic identity after time away

  • Heal from emotional wounds while staying grounded in faith

  • Navigate grief, transitions, or major life decisions with peace and purpose and guidance of the Holy Spirit

  • Grow in virtue, discipline, and emotional strength

  • Discover and live out your God-given calling

  • Build a daily life of prayer, purpose, and presence

  • Overcome fear, anxiety, and doubt by learning to trust God fully

Whether you’re returning to the Church, deepening your faith, or simply longing to live with more peace and purpose, you don’t have to walk alone.

This is the support I longed for. Now, I offer it to you, with love, faith, and great hope for what God will do in your life.

To Your Strong and Empowered Future,
