Your health empowerment begins with your choices on your personal health journey. Discover your path to wellness coaching.
Hi, I'm Michele — a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), storyteller, and someone who understands how confusing and emotional a personal health journey can be.
I've spent years working within the healthcare system, supporting patients, caregivers, and clinical teams. I've also spent years navigating it myself as a mom caring for a son with a rare disease. My professional and personal experiences have shaped everything about how I show up for people in their health empowerment.
Working in healthcare taught me how the system functions—the language, the processes, the gaps. Caring for my son taught me that healing goes beyond appointments and protocols. His life and his passing led me to listen more deeply, advocate fiercely, trust my intuition, and honor the aspects of healing that medicine doesn't always address.
Along the way, I learned what it truly takes to navigate the healthcare system—how to ask better questions, communicate effectively with providers, understand your options, and make decisions that support your whole health. I've also explored integrative and alternative paths: functional medicine, nutritional approaches, mindfulness practices, and nature-based healing. These experiences showed me there are many valid ways to support wellbeing, and that each person deserves to find the path that fits their unique needs and values through wellness coaching.

Here's something I deeply believe: living a healthy, meaningful life is not tied to age. When you nurture your wellbeing—your energy, your clarity, your purpose—you lay the foundation for health empowerment at every stage of your personal health journey. Through Catalyst for Health, I provide wellness coaching for those who seek more than just the standard 'eat better, exercise more' advice. Whether you're facing a diagnosis, caring for someone you love, or simply looking for a deeper approach to your health, I'm here with practical guidance, compassionate support, and the knowledge to help you explore what's possible—both within and beyond conventional medicine.

To guide you toward health empowerment in your personal health journey, I combine practical insight, real-life stories, and compassionate wellness coaching. Together, we will navigate systems, explore options, and choose what truly works for you.

Rooted in partnership, not prescription, I focus on health empowerment. By listening and asking questions, I help you navigate your personal health journey, connecting knowledge with intuition. This process guides you to clarity while supporting what truly enhances your wellbeing through wellness coaching.
Taking a proactive approach to health empowerment allows you to catch potential issues early on your personal health journey, reduce long-term risks, and maintain your wellbeing through wellness coaching before problems escalate.
Energy, mobility, and mental clarity are essential not only for health empowerment but also for fully engaging in your personal health journey. They significantly influence how you experience each day and enjoy the life you desire, making wellness coaching an invaluable resource.
Health empowerment comes from understanding your body, your health patterns, and the healthcare system. This knowledge allows you to navigate your personal health journey effectively, helping you avoid unnecessary treatments, stress, and unexpected expenses. Wellness coaching can further enhance this understanding, guiding you towards optimal health.
