About Michelle
Reconnect. Rediscover. Renew.
My Story
Welcome
I am grateful you are here!
You are standing at the threshold of a new season—whether by choice or circumstance, I want to invite you to reconnect, rediscover and renew who you are and how you choose to move through the world.
This is the beginning of your Next Chapter.
I am a mother to two adult children and have been married to my husband for more than 27 years. Born and raised in the Midwest, I was shaped by the values of family, community, and meaningful connection. For the past 25 years, parenting groups, facilitating discussions, and leading workshops have been a central part of my life. The conversations, relationships, and shared experiences within these communities have helped shape the mother, wife, leader, and woman I am today, and for that I am deeply grateful.
​
Through my own life transitions and years of supporting others, I've learned that change often invites us to return to ourselves.
​
Life's transitions can be exciting, challenging, unexpected, and transformative. Whether you're navigating a career shift, a parenting transition, an empty nest, or a season of personal change, coaching provides a space to reflect, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with renewed clarity, confidence, and purpose.
​
My mission is to create that space for you—a place where you can explore what's next with intention, curiosity, and support. Together, we'll uncover what matters now, honor where you've been, and create a path forward that feels authentic to who you are becoming.
​
Because every ending holds the possibility of a meaningful new beginning.
​
​​
I have spent my career Guiding People Through Life's Transitions; helping people be seen, discover their strengths, navigate change, and step confidently into what's next.
​
As a Group Leader, Parent Educator, and Coach, I create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate change with greater clarity and confidence. For more than 25 years, I have facilitated conversations, led groups, and supported individuals through some of life's most meaningful transitions. Today, I lead Next Chapter groups for parents, professionals, and individuals who find themselves asking, "What's next?" Whether facing a career shift, parenting transition, empty nest, or personal crossroads, group members discover connection, encouragement, and the reassurance that they do not have to navigate change alone.
I believe growth happens in environments built on trust, respect, confidentiality, and meaningful connection. My role is to create that space while offering tools, resources, and thoughtful guidance along the way.
​
The Coach
As a Professional Certified Coach, I listen deeply and partner with clients to uncover their strengths, values, and possibilities. I believe every person has a unique story, wisdom gained through experience, and the capacity to create meaningful change.
Coaching provides the opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Together, we explore where you are today, what is calling you forward, and how to move into your next chapter with greater intention and purpose.
​
From Casting to Coaching
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 20 years as a Casting Director, helping creative professionals recognize their strengths, find their voice, and step into new opportunities.That experience taught me something I carry into my coaching work today:
people thrive when they are truly seen.
I learned to recognize potential, listen beneath the surface, and help individuals gain clarity about who they are and where they want to go. By creating a safe space for exploration and growth, I helped artists build confidence and embrace new possibilities. Today, I bring that same curiosity, intuition, and belief in human potential to every coaching conversation.
​
As You Turn the Page...
Life's transitions often invite us to remember and to return to ourselves.
Whether you're navigating change in your career, family, relationships, or sense of identity, you don't have to figure it out alone. My hope is that through our partnership, you'll gain the clarity, insight, and confidence to reconnect with who you are, rediscover what matters most, and create a meaningful path forward.
​
Your Next Chapter is waiting.
