Our Programs

BRAVE Speaker

Do you dread public speaking situations?  Do you freeze up during presentations, struggle to articulate your ideas, or lack the confidence to command the room?


Welcome to 'BRAVE Speaker,' where we address the all-too-common symptoms of public speaking anxiety — sweaty palms, a racing heart, dry mouth, shaky voice and even a panic attack — symptoms familiar to an estimated 73% of people at some point in their lives. This stage fear or phobia is called 'glossophobia'. It can stifle careers and silence voices that deserve to be heard, and can inhibit personal and professional opportunities. Our program is designed not just to manage these symptoms but to transform your fear into a powerful driving force for effective communication. 


'BRAVE Speaker' coaching program will allow you to:

  • Break through subconscious blockages 
  • Rewire your experience of public speaking
  • Achieve deep-rooted confidence 
  • Voice your ideas with clarity and conviction
  • Elevate your leadership skills

Transform anxiety into enthusiasm, say farewell to fear, and hello to mastering the art of public speaking.


Schedule your free 20 call today to explore how  you can speak with confidence within 6-12 sessions.

Calm & Clear

Are you a high-achieving professional who feels overwhelmed by work demands and struggling to find balance in your life? The constant pressure to succeed can leave you feeling stressed, drained, and unable to focus. In addition, chronic stress lowers satisfaction in all areas of life by decreasing productivity, straining relationships, weakening immunity, and potentially leading to weight gain. Over time, it fosters burnout and serious health problems, ultimately undermining overall wellbeing. Health experts estimate that anywhere from 60% to 90% of all illnesses are either caused by or worsened by chronic stress.


'Calm & Clear' coaching program is designed to empower you to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life, and will help you achieve optimal performance. This program is tailored to address your specific needs.


'Calm & Clear' coaching program will allow you to: 

  • Cultivate a sense of calm and clarity to make better decisions.
  • Develop effective stress management strategies to enhance your well-being.
  • Overcome imposter's syndrom and build your confidence.
  • Learn how to set healthy boundries.
  • Improve work or personal relationships.
  • Resolve conflicts and create better habits.

Take back control and experience harmony.

Fearless Flyer

- Does the thought of flying fill you with dread, anxiety and nervousness? 

- When you fly, are you suffering from shortness of breath, accelerated heart rate, dizziness, nausea, stomach discomfort or tightness in the chest or a panic attack? 

- Or maybe you avoid flying alltogether and missing out exciting career opportunities and family vacations? 


If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're not alone. It's estimated that between 33% and 40% of people around the world experience some level of anxiety related to flying, and  about 2.5% to 5% may suffer from a more severe form of this flight anxiety, also known as 'aviophobia' or 'aerophobia'. Those  most likely avoid travel altogether, hindering career advancement. 


If this is the case for you - stop missing out!


Imagine replacing fear with a sense of calm and control every time you step on a plane.

Break free from the limitations of flight anxiety and unlock a world of possibilities.


With 'Fearless Flyer' coaching program you will be able to:

  • Conquer flight phobia.
  • Rewire your mind
  • Travel without debilitating fear.

I am an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of 3 children so my life can get quite hectic, especially during these times where we are all sheltered-in-place at home. Due to the type of job I have, I need to wake up extra early, which is a few hours earlier before my family. It's already my 4th time using Michelle's guided meditation and it has helped me start the day off right and gets me motivated to conquer what's ahead of me. I already feel better and in control.  Thank you soooooo much Michelle!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Michelle's coaching approach ?

Michelle’s intent is to empower you every step of the way, providing you with tools and strategies, and helping you reach your desired outcome in a holistic manner that aligns with your values, needs, and wants.

Michelle integrates NLP, visualization, hypnotherapy, TimeLine Therapy®, Positive Psychology and more.

What is NLP, and how can it help me?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the structure of the subjective experience, models personal success and leverages the power of the mind to make changes in a fast manner. It is a revolutionary psychological approach that combines neuroscience, linguistics, and programming to understand and influence human behavior. It involves analyzing strategies and applying successful ones to reach a personal or professional goal. It provides tools and techniques to decode and modify our thought patterns, emotions, and actions to achieve desired outcomes for long-lasting results.

NLP is particularly effective for overcoming fears, improving communication skills, and enhancing wellbeing.

What can I expect from the NLP coaching sessions?

While you may select a specific coaching program, Michelle still takes a holistic, results-oriented approach and adjusts and tailors each coaching program to your specific needs. The sessions are conducted online in the comfort of your place of choice. Please make sure you have a quiet environment with no interruptions to allow for a quiet Me-time. The goal of the coaching program is to empower you while helping you overcome various limitations whether conscious or not. Sessions include a short conversation to identify the challenges, limiting beliefs and thought strategies and behavioral patterns. Defining a desired outcome properly helps maintain focus on a positive outcome. In some sessions you may be invited to close your eyes, to eliminate external distractions and to enable you to experience relaxation. In this state, you will be guided to go deeper within yourself and experience real shifts in your neurological level that create long lasting results in a short period of time.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your personal goals, the complexity of the issues you're addressing, the readiness and your level of trust and coachability. Most clients see significant progress and reach their goals with a series of 6 to 12 sessions. We can discuss your specific situation in a free initial consultation to tailor the program to your needs.

What's the duration of each coaching session ?

Typically, each session lasts between 50-60 minutes and is scheduled on a weekly basis for 6 consecutive weeks. If you are preparing for a presentation and tight on time, we will look into adjusting the schedule to a shorter period of time.

What if I'm not sure NLP is right for me?

I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your goals and challenges and determine if NLP is a good fit. There's no obligation to proceed after the consultation, and it's a great way to understand how NLP might benefit you specifically.
