Coaching

What is the system to help you thrive?

It began with a Thrive journey. The THRIVE journey was born from my grief at the death of a dear friend and coaching colleague a few years ago. I was so devastated by his passing that I decided to find out exactly what I needed to do to become whole and happy again. I read many books about what human beings need for a thriving life--fulfilling work, nurturing relationships, and so on--and they were all true but didn't go deep enough for me. I looked inside, reviewed my life, and eventually gave birth to the Thrive approach: principles of inner wisdom including six touchstones of the THRIVE journey.

Imagine having sacred time to focus on yourself--your legacy, your goals, and your most inspired visions--helped by a heart-centered coach who is also business-savvy, someone who knows how to balance a practical, get-it-done spirit with the wisdom of your heart’s desire.

Your heart's desire is what it's all about. That deep inner knowing of who you are and what you want, a wisdom that you already possess, has the power to overcome fear, resistance, and every other obstacle that stands between you and the juiciest, most joyous life you can imagine.

I help you to THRIVE by showing you how to TAP IN to your inner wisdom. My exclusive TAP IN coaching will deepen your unique knowing of what it is for you to thrive, naturally.

I offer both individual and group coaching, which can take place by telephone or in person. The coaching partnership may be as brief as three months if you have a specific goal to complete within that time frame--but our alliance can also remain in place for years to support your continued growth. As you reach each benchmark or goal, we identify the next level of success and aim for it.

You'll commit to thriving again.
Your life balance will be restored, after feeling you have “never enough” time, money, energy, self-care. 

One client’s story:  Wistar came to the coaching alliance clear that she wanted to make a career change. Over the course of 6 months we’ve worked together, she has manifested nearly everything she wanted in this change—a move to a foreign country, speaking a language which she loves--French, working for an environmental cause that she’s passionate about and more actively engaging her strengths and interests.

"Michelle, with your careful listening, spirit-centered support, and guiding questions, I have been able to navigate a major career change. Because of your help, possibilities for my career are booming! Big hugs and thanks for all you do. "
Wistar Craighill, VA

 

"I have found Michelle to truly get to the heart of the matter very quickly and with very few words. I have found my heart opening and the answers within by her very timely intervention of one word. I have found that she trusts my intuition, my inner voice and calls it out to play and speak. I leave the coaching call with clear focus and intention of what needs to be done and feeling a foot taller and pounds lighter in my step."
-Candy McKinley-Cole, CA

"After one THRIVE session with Michelle, I felt renewed, re-focused, and re-charged! It was an amazing journey of self-discovery, looking deep inside to gain insight to what I needed to work on in order to be happy again. Michelle’s guidance was wonderful, keeping me focused; and she helped me figure out just how to move beyond my challenges and roadblocks to restore my happiness." –Tanya Back

"What a calming journey I got to go on with an expert guide.  Michelle’s THRIVE process led me to a place where the answers to her deep questions floated easily to the surface, where I could use them to resolve the burdens I arrived with." –Laurie Phillips

"Since my THRIVE conversation, I have found myself spending time thinking about my actions each day and reflecting on whether they are helping me to thrive. This process allows time to reflect on practices that work in your life and business. It brings forth the feelings that are associated with success and enlightens the actions that one has taken to achieve previous success, in order to create current and future success."

"Michelle is not only a great coach, but a tremendous cheerleader.  Throughout my coaching experience, she was continuously applauding my successes and encouraging me when I felt defeated.  Michelle has been a tour guide through my areas of strength, taught me to explore my goals, and challenge myself in order to get the most out of every day.

Michelle is awesome one-on-one, and oftentimes she was my fortress of sanity.  Through my experience, I was able to change the way I was looking at things, and put immediate and long-term goals into perspective.  She also taught me a lot about body language and how this impacts my impression of everyday scenarios, as well as how I respond to these scenarios.

Finding balance in life was one of the main areas I wanted to focus on during my coaching experience. Michelle has successfully directed me toward equilibrium, and has helped me identify tools for continually finding peace in my life.   I would recommend personal coaching with Michelle to anyone.  It was definitely a worthwhile and positive experience for me."
