One of the things I’m particularly good at is recognizing patterns across what people tell me, including connections and assumptions that are difficult to see from inside their own experience.
I use that ability to help experienced professionals develop a clearer understanding of their own contribution, what suits them, and what they want to do with their experience next.
The people I work best with have already done substantial inner work. They know themselves well, have considerable professional experience, and are ready to make meaningful changes to their work.
I bring my observations and perspective into our conversations, and we examine them together. I don’t decide what your work should become. I help you recognize what’s influencing your choices, see more of your own abilities, and determine what fits you.
My background is in naturopathic medicine and biomedical research. Over the years, my work has evolved toward supporting people who already understand a great deal about themselves and want to put that understanding to use in new, more consequential circumstances.
We examine the patterns influencing how you respond and what you consider possible. We get specific about your distinctive abilities, the contribution you want to make, and the clients, problems, and conditions that allow you to do your best work.
And because what happens in one area of life can influence another, our conversations aren’t limited to professional situations. We work with what’s relevant as it arises.
My main offer is a 12-month private mentorship, giving us time to develop that understanding, make changes, and continue refining your work as you evolve.
I also offer a focused two-month introductory engagement for people who want to begin with one important question about their direction, contribution, or fit.
If you’re ready to start making meaningful changes to your work, you can read more about both options below.
I send new essays and podcast episodes to my list as they come out.

The way I work is built on one principle, drawn from my training in naturopathic medicine. I’ve written about what it is and how it shapes the work.
I work with a small number of people in a long-term mentorship.
We identify and update the specific internal rules that still fire under pressure — the ones that were formed much earlier in life and are still running, causing them to back down, over-explain, or second-guess a direction they already know is theirs.
And I work alongside them as a thought partner for the work itself — helping them see what they can’t yet see about their own contribution and where it’s heading.
The clarity and direction they’ve been trying to figure out on their own tend to come as a byproduct of this deeper work, rather than something we have to force.
Working with Michelle has totally transformed my life. Her kindness, compassion, and ability to hold the space for me to see what I needed to see was the best thing about working with her. I can’t thank her enough for all she does. My life has never been better, I have so much energy, passion, and hope to give the world with my work. If I were speaking to someone who was considering working with Michelle, I'd tell them "do it"!

As a highly sensitive and neurodivergent leader myself, I have an uncanny ability to detect patterns and decode unconscious roadblocks. I'm able to reflect back what’s been hidden in plain sight, often before you can even fully articulate it yourself.
And as I always say, once you see it, you can’t un-see it, and that changes everything.

With a background in medical research, neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, naturopathic medicine, and transformational coaching, I love diving into research rabbit holes and connecting dots between seemingly unrelated concepts. I’m known for taking complex ideas and making them practical, accessible, and transformational.
My clients often call working with me “the missing piece”.

My approach isn’t surface-level, it’s the deep, nuanced, advanced work you do after “graduating” therapy, as my clients often tell me. Most had searched for years for someone who could actually meet them at their depth.
When they find me, they finally feel fully seen, deeply understood, and able to access the bigger transformation they’ve been craving.
