Michelle is a positive psychology consultant & coach, a published author, a lover of learning, and an advocate for positive mental health and well-being. After facing an unexpected tragedy that completely changed the trajectory of her life, she now sees herself as a survivor, not a victim. So, with this strong mindset, she dedicates herself and the work she does each day to supporting others in their personal life and in business. Michelle is also a firm believer that knowledge is power, and when we are taught to recognise our own God-given strengths, we are empowered to take action every day to be the best version of ourselves. As an educator, her career spanned over a 16-year journey, and she strongly advocates for education far beyond any classroom's four walls. All of Michelle's work is created to support individuals, businesses and organisations to develop and sustain habits of good health and positive thinking that is life-long and sustainable. She strives to have people acknowledge and understand that they themselves are the authors of their own stories that they so wonderfully create in life. Michelle has conducted research that has resulted in a body of work that explores the impact of self-efficacy and optimism on post-traumatic growth. With this, she encourages her audience to remain positive and focused on what they truly want, need and desire on their journey each day. Through her work, she strives to educate each person by creating dialogue and conversation, instilling and empowering a strong sense of hope and faith. Michelle offers practical strategies through her work as a consultant, coach and mentor so people can implement them whilst they feel supported, and so they can develop and nurture their own positive well-being and mental health.
