“When I first started this journey I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into, but I’m so glad that I took a chance and decided to be coached.

It opened up a whole different way of thinking for me that has been incredibly eye-opening and freeing.

With Michelle’s help, I was able to identify many negative thoughts about myself that I had been holding onto and begin the process of letting them go.

Michelle provided such a safe and nonjudgmental space for me to discuss my thoughts and to really explore why I was feeling the way I was. I felt so comfortable sharing with her because she really heard me. Just talking with her and saying out loud some of the things going through my head made me feel a lot better.

Before one of our sessions, I was incredibly stressed out about certain circumstances I was dealing with, but after discussing what I was going through, I felt a lot less anxious and much more at peace. The circumstances hadn’t changed, but my feelings and approach towards those circumstances did… that makes all the difference and that is all thanks to Michelle. “

“Personal coaching with Michelle has been life changing! I have grown tremendously since starting coaching with her.

I had felt lost as to what direction my life was headed; I was in a rut and didn't realize the negative feedback-cycle that my thoughts/words had put me in. I felt like I was drowning in negativity and guilt.

Coaching with Michelle allowed me to identify those negative thoughts, examine them, then accept them/change them/or find a new thought.

It has been groundbreaking!

This has allowed for a new perspective on my thoughts and on my life.

I was able to figure out new goals and a new direction in my life.

But more importantly, I realized how my goals and plans may continue to be fluid and change over time, and accept that with a positive attitude and with grace.

I am now so much happier and at peace with my inner self. “

“Dr. Michelle is truly wonderful and exceptional at what she does. She takes the time to understand the situation that you bring to the table and is more than willing to discuss any problems you may have in life, big or small.

Every session had a warm and nonjudgemental feeling to it, everything felt truly confidential, and I was at ease despite having meeting her for the first time.

This experience for me has been invaluable. Before coming into these sessions, I was not feeling the happiest and almost lost daily. Week after week, Dr. Ofreneo and I explored the possible reasons for why that was and worked through how thought can be transformed. I will be taking what I've learned with me for the rest of my life, to ensure a better one.

She clearly understands the methodology of life coaching and is very passionate about it. I hope she continues on her journey as a life coach because she has surely helped me out a lot and I know she will be able to touch the hearts of many others to transform their life for the best!”

Working with Michelle was the perfect introduction to coaching. She taught me the concept of The Model and the importance of cultivating non-judgmental curiosity when observing one's own thoughts.

Michelle is creative, calming, warm, and so wise.

She subtly (and always kindly) pushed me to recognize my limiting beliefs and to dream bigger.

Although we only worked together for a short time, my experience with Michelle was completely transformative!
