“Michele’s style is so compelling, with a strong storytelling narrative and gripping examples of her experience.”
Jason Grant, Healthy Brains Global Initiative
"Michele has a story which is both captivating and inspirational. I was engaged and enlightened by Michele’s talk concerning mental illness, alcoholism and thoughts of suicide. Her story of recovery teaches each one of us the importance of interpersonal relationships and interaction with those whom we care about. Most importantly, she emphasizes the fact that there are no words to be said that will outperform the act of just being present for those in need. She is a most incredible, outstanding woman!"

"Michele's transformational coaching is life enhancing, life changing, and life fulfilling. I was stuck professionally due to old thoughts, patterns and habits. Michele was able to help me dig deep to release these old ways of living and thinking, so that I could step into my personal power and have the confidence needed to create and live all of my dreams. Her coaching program is so worth the time and money that you put into it, as you will reap the rewards 10 fold! Thank you Michele for changing my life for the better!"
