What is something that amazes you?
The wonder that is the human body and the human being; resilient, ever changing & capable. I love that no matter how different and unique we may be, our humanness intrinsically connects us.
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
With or without an out of town guest my favorite place to get-a-way is the Oregon coast -especially in the early spring for one of those wildly alive days where you get the fresh crisp clean air, maybe some showers and sun and perhaps even a bonus rainbow.
What is something you learned recently?
Sometimes I can get more done when I go s-l-o-w and that slow or at least slow-er is unexpectedly my favorite pace!.
What motivates you to improve yourself?
Feeling both the simple calm and delight, of being connected to what feels true on the inside. Getting to live from this place is inspiring and keeps me engaged in pursuing this journey.
Tell me about your favorite time of day, week, month or season?
A slow Saturday morning on a fall day feels pretty right to me. Sundays usually come with the permission to go slow, so the luxury of feeling that way on a Saturday, has extra goodness. Fall has that scent of change in the air which after summer, feels like an overdo invitation for thoughtful reflection.
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Make vinegar! I love the fermentation process and the idea of collaborating with another living organism. I already do some of this, but haven’t tackled vinegar yet!
“Working with Michele came at the perfect time in my life. There was so much I wanted to make happen
and lots of tending I needed to do for myself in order to get there. Michele was spot on and intuitive in her
understanding of where I was at and helped me to have a significant break through that many years of
therapy had not revealed.”
“Michele is delicate in her communication yet precise and direct, which is extremely appreciated and helpful for a no-nonsense personality like mine.”
“Each day I draw upon breakthroughs achieved since being coached by Michele; -enabling behaviors with
my siblings, my relationship with money, boosting self confidence and so much more. All have improved
immensly and I am so grateful to her for her supportive and non-judgemental coaching style. I’m finally
getting a handle on issues that have plagued me most of my 50+ years. Thank you so much, Michele.”
