I'm Michelle...

Founder & CEO of The InnerWork Life Coaching Certification + Business Academy.

I wanted to share a little bit about myself so that you can get a sense of who I am and why I'm passionate about helping women become excellent life coaches and build profitable coaching businesses.

For most of my life I've been teaching & coaching people how to do things that were once hard for me.

School was hard for me, math was hard for me, reading was hard for me. I was a sensitive soul that was wired differently than the people in my environment. 

But I did manage to make it through college and became an elementary school math teacher. I didn't want kids to suffer through math like I did. I knew I could make math class a judgment free and loving environment that created a safe space for learning to take place. 

Years later, I left the educational system to start my own family and while I raised my girls, I studied subjects that fascinated me. 

This journey led me to studying intuition, hypnosis, psychic work and mediumship and many energy and emotional healing modalities.

After a lot of study and practice, I began to see clients for psychic readings, mediumship readings and hypnosis. It was fascinating work but I got this nagging feeling inside of me that I was meant to do more.  This nagging feeling eventually turned into debilitating anxiety and that’s when I got a wake up call to stop giving people the answers through readings and help people get their own answers. That’s when I learned about life coaching. I studied it. I got coaches. I saw the results. I started to combine intuitive readings with life coaching with my own clients and this combination created fast transformation for my clients and my confidence skyrocketed. I had an innerwork life coaching system that consistently gave my clients results. 

I created my first 6-figure Life Coaching business seeing 1:1 clients and helping them with issues like finding love, making more money, stress, finding their life purpose, marriage issues and changing careers.

Some of my clients used life coaching skills with their family members and reported back to me that they were getting results.  I realized then that this skillset was transferable. I was ready to teach women how to coach.

In 2019 I opened the first round of Life Coaching Certification Program. One of things that I’m most proud of is the level of confidence my students have in their coaching abilities. My dream is for all of my students to be excited to get a client and deeply know that they have the training and skills to help people get the results they want.

By 2020, the feedback I was getting from my students was that they felt confident as a coach, but they were struggling with building a coaching business, struggling with getting clients and struggling to make money as a coach. 

In 2021, the program grew to Life Coaching Certification + Business Building Program based on the feedback from my students wanting to know how I built my 6-figure business and do it for themselves. 

And that’s what I do today. I help women become exceptional life coaches using my innerwork framework, build their coaching businesses and create the impact and income they were born to make.
