Michelle Burns Coach
Welcome
I’m Michelle Burns, my transformation went from Stock Broker to Catholic Life Coaching, with a few detours in between.
My professional journey began in the high-energy world of the stock market, but in 2001 I stepped away to pursue my true calling: helping people transform their lives. Over the last two decades, I’ve worked as a Life Coach, Executive Coach, and Emotional Intelligence Trainer and Catholic Life Coach.
My approach blends the best of personal growth science, positive psychology, neuroscience, emotional intelligence, growth mindset, and leadership development, with the timeless wisdom of the Catholic faith.
I’m a cradle Catholic who never left Jesus, but for years, I wandered from His Church.
After a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit more than 30 years ago, I knew God was calling me deeper. But without guidance or community, I lost my footing. Amid confusion in the Church, I explored alternative and new age spirituality. I found tools that helped me and others heal, but the fulfillment never lasted.
Without Him, I was always searching, chasing success, relationships, and distractions. It was empty. With Him, I found fullness. Nothing missing. No more striving, just trust, surrender, and daily grace. He leads. I follow. That is enough.
The stillness of the pandemic brought me home, fully and joyfully, to the truth and beauty of Catholic teaching. I have never felt more whole, more held, or more on mission.
Now, I help Catholics align their lives with God’s will, heal from the inside out, and live with unshakable peace and purpose. My coaching is grounded in prayer, Scripture, reflection, and Spirit-led action.
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
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 longing to live with greater 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.
“The most deadly poison of our times is indifference.”
