What people are saying

  • "I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is considering (or even on the fence) about coaching. As a medical resident nearing the end of my training, coaching with Michelle was a fantastic opportunity for me to develop tools to better address the stresses of transitioning to practice, reflect on work-life balance, and re-discover a sense of resiliency that will allow me to better navigate this exciting next chapter of my career."

  • "Coaching with Michelle has helped me identify barriers to my success and empowered me to work on small changes in my perceptions that, despite being small, have had a big impact on the way I show up to work & how I feel about myself when I am there. The changes weren’t difficult to make, and the payoff has been really positive – noticed by myself and others that I work with."

  • "If you are considering coaching, just do it! It can be an uncomfortable place to identify your saboteurs and to really reflect on why you are stuck in completing certain tasks, but once you dive in, it is so helpful to acknowledge your saboteurs and barriers, and in my experience, you are able to see these saboteurs popping up in all areas of your life."

  • “Game changer - Michelle was instrumental in helping me see new possibilities and get unstuck over my career transition. With grace, humor, openness, and authenticity she sat with me during some dark moments and helped me find my way out. She listened and challenged me and helped me identify my true values and see a path to more fulfillment in my work. I don’t know where I’d be without her. I’ve made so much progress in our 4 months together and have finally launched headfirst into a new career! "

    — Cal Bouchard

  • “I really enjoyed having a coach outside my organization to be a sounding board as I sorted through confidential workplace issues. Michelle’s ability to reframe and be agile in her approach was key to becoming unstuck and moving forward with difficult decisions and uncomfortable conversations. I now have a toolkit of resources to use when I need them, and the awareness to know when to access which tools."

  • "I am a 75-year-old who has been thinking, for some time now but without any clarity, about how and where to live in the next decade. Michelle was able to ask me key questions that allowed me to come up with a framework of what is important to me and what provides meaning in my life. She then gave me guidance on how to get to a place that provides satisfaction and flavour for me based on what I identified as important for me. Working with Michelle gave me focus and resolve. I knew we would be meeting again so instead of putting things off I was actively studying where I wanted to live and how to prepare myself (I have signed up on how to improve my woodcarving skills). Having her as a witness and someone to discuss various options for myself assisted me in moving forward with a plan that excites me. If you decide to work with Michelle, I feel confident that she will provide you with great support."

  • “Embarking on coaching for the first time, I feel fortunate to have chosen Michelle, who proved to be the perfect match for me. I'm grateful for the experience. Coaching has been crucial in helping me deal with moments of uncertainty and in sharpening my long-term objectives. Her warm, empathetic nature fostered a safe environment for dialogue, while her open and laid-back style encouraged a frank and positive exchange. This process has led me to discover my strengths and the opportunities before me. Within a few sessions, I achieved a sense of progress and developed a clearer outlook, which has equipped me with the confidence to advance with renewed assurance. Thank you, Michelle!"

    — Rose

  • "I started coaching with Michelle to make some changes in my professional life. I was always second guessing myself and was afraid to deal with issues because I didn’t want any confrontation. After working with Michelle, I know that I am stronger and more capable than I ever realized. I am confident and I can set boundaries and be assertive when needed. This has made me much happier both professionally and personally. My Inner Badass is eternally grateful! If you are considering coaching with Michelle, I say “Go for it! Take that chance! You have an inner strength waiting to be found. Trust the process and allow yourself to grow in ways you never imagined.”
