About Me

Hi, I’m Michelle—and I know what it’s like to feel trapped in your own success.

Work With Me

On Paper, It Looked Perfect—But I Was Drowning.

On paper, I had it all:
✔ A thriving corporate career
✔ A six-figure salary
✔ A loving partner
✔ Two adorable Cavoodles (Indy and Leia)
✔ A Pinterest-worthy home

I should’ve felt fulfilled.
Instead, I was falling apart.

I was the textbook high-achiever—always saying yes, always pushing harder, always trying to outrun the nagging fear that I wasn’t enough. I worked 8 AM to 11 PM, took on every project, and wore burnout like a badge of honour.

Stress wasn’t just part of my life—it was my life.

Anxiety attacks. Heart palpitations. Rapid weight loss.
Three medications just to function.

And the worst part?
I thought it was my fault.
That I was too sensitive. That I needed to “toughen up.” That I just wasn’t built for corporate life.

Then everything hit at once—
COVID. A new job. A new house. The loss of my grandfather.
And finally, I broke.

In a last-ditch attempt to save myself, I tried coaching.

And for the first time, I saw the truth:

The problem wasn’t me.
 It was the system I was operating in—and the beliefs I’d absorbed to survive it.

Within weeks, I felt lighter.
Within months, I was thriving.
Within a year, I was promoted—twice.

I didn’t leave corporate.

I learned how to lead on my terms.

Now I help women do the same.

What I do Now

Helping Women Reclaim Their Power—At Work and in Life

I created The Corporate Glow Up Program to help ambitious women rise without burning out—and lead without losing themselves.


I also host the How to Deal with Big F*cking Feelings is the podcast for high-achieving women who feel too much and are done pretending they don’t.

  • "I’ve had a couple of sessions with Michelle around imposter syndrome at work and my thoughts around presentations. I really like her approach – she’s warm, direct, calming and focused. She’s already helped me shift my mindset!"

    — Laura

  • "Michelle has been a catalyst in my self growth and personal evolution. In just 6 sessions Michelle has helped me broach topics such as relationship anxiety, shame, and self worth. I have made improvements in my ability to enjoy my job, I have greatly reduced my anxiety around relationships, and tackled deep rooted perfectionism and self-worth issues."

    — Brooke

  • "I was facing extreme stress, anxiety, weight loss and unhappiness in my job...now I have applied for a job and met with the manager about a role and feel confident in this!"

    — Danielle

  • "Michelle was friendly, enthusiastic and approachable. She helped me to focus on establishing practices to support a better a work/life balance... I now can recognise when things are going downhill and have strategies I can put in place to make sure that I’m a better leader, team member, friend and parent."

    — Kate

  • "Coaching with Michelle is an absolute delight. She is helping me to think about my finances in a more positive light and to stop living in scarcity. I feel less apprehensive talking about money now. I'm researching the best way to save, whereas before I thought there was no point. I'm finally starting to ask for what I think I'm worth."

    — Sian

  • "Michelle is an incredibly generous coach and gives you the resources necessary to tackle the big things you're working on. Through my coaching with Michelle, I've been able to feel more secure in my relationship without making everything mean something has gone wrong!"

    — Autumn

  • "With Michelle I am learning to work through things that have previously felt impossible, like being my full self with other people. I have practised letting things out and when they're in the light, they lose their power. It has been amazing just to say the nonsense in my head and have someone hear me and still accept me. I'm slowly learning to like and even love myself."

    — Ruth

  • "After years of work with different psychologists, my work with Michelle has been far more helpful and beneficial to my wellbeing. We have worked through many issues together - perfectionistic and unrealistic expectations, work challenges and family relationships. Michelle is supportive, compassionate and challenges thoughts in a compassionate way. This has helped me build a much better relationship with my children. I am able to be less reactive."

    — Kim

  • "Michelle is such a wonderful, supportive and enthusiastic coach! She has helped me so much with my anxiety and starting a new job, and has given me tools to help alleviate stress and worries. I feel so empowered!"

    — Emma

  • "Michelle was very helpful dissecting the reasons I have formed habitual patterns and gave me tools on how to break them and to form new ways of thinking and programming my life. She was always thoughtful, kind, and insightful."

    — Michelle

  • "Michelle's coaching is fantastic. She has a keen ability to find the heart of an issue very quickly. Her coaching helped me unravel some complicated, intertwined issues and I was able to see each issue more clearly, and decide how to deal with each one, individually. She follows up each coaching session with notes and provides feedback in between sessions. I would highly recommend working with Michelle."

    — Jennifer

  • "I signed up to work with Michelle when I was having an altercation with my family. Within the first 3 sessions I had calmed down, and had learnt to look at the situation differently. I was able to remove myself from the situation and sit with all the emotions. Michelle will hold space for any topic I need to discuss. I have now noticed that I've been believing my own BS for a while. I have now started to get curious again at the thoughts my brain offers me, not just believe them."

    — Victoria
