Hi, I’m Michele :)

When I was a kid, my grandmother used to say,

“She marches to the beat of her own drum.”

…And while she meant that in a low-key derogatory way, Mommom wasn’t wrong.

So here’s the cliff-notes version on me:

  • I left a school I loved to take a gap year and figure out what I really wanted to pursue in college. I transferred and studied on media production because I really love listening to people’s stories and sharing it with the world in a way to connect us.

  • Most of my 20’s were spent traveling and living around the world, meeting new people, making friends, learning and trying new things.

  • My background in digital media ranges from PA’ing on video sets to corporate emails on delivering marketing assets to determining tech requirements for new online features.

  • In 2024, I decided to move across the country from Philadelphia to Seattle, where I knew no one. Why? For fun, because I loved it, because it felt right.

  • I love strength training and long walks and dancing — these are my favorite kinds of movement that contribute to how I ground myself.

  • I received my life coaching certification in April 2025 through the Wholehearted Life Coaching Certification by Shirin Eskandani.

And here’s what the cliff notes don’t include about my path:

There was a lot of anxiety, false narratives, and fear—always fear.

What if this is wrong? What if I miss out on something? What if I never do the thing?

What if I actually do the thing?

I spent my whole life believing the life I actually wanted to live wasn’t truly attainable for me. I looked to others to believe in me, but it didn’t really matter until I learned to believe in myself.

The work to shift my life started when I admitted to myself that I wasn’t okay with how my life looked now. I needed a change.

Coaching is what got me to where I am today. It’s why it’s so important to me to help folks cultivate depth and connection within themselves.

So here I am, with a strong belief in my knowledge and skillset, to help make your dreams come true, in spite of any fears and in spite of false truths.

My Coaching Vibe

I have an affinity for silliness (as so kindly put by a pre-k teacher), but trust that I am someone who will always get real with you. A lot of the work we’ll do together is driven by you. I’m there to act as a sounding board, as a mirror to reflect back how you show up, and as a guide to show you how we can take steps to creating your real life.

I have a deep appreciation for spirituality while also recognizing the importance of doing the inner work.

I am a heart-centered coach, which means I coach from a place of curiosity and presence, and we’ll look to your feelings to help lead the way.

I use practices of Internal Family Systems, mindset exercises, basic somatic practices, and reflective questioning.
