Michele is an international speaker and coach and am now working with Deepak Chopra as a Wellness Expert on his new digital platform jiyo.com.   I have 15 years experience working with people from all walks of life who want to make changes in their lives but are still stuck after trying  just about every other option. I work quickly and economically to get you the results you want and need so that you can move forward with your life. Before I began helping people to make profound and lasting changes in their lives. I was an international runway model. You're probably wondering how I made such an extreme life change. When I was a model I suffered from anorexia nervosa and there were very few people around who knew how to help me and my colleagues who were also suffering, so I embarked on a journey to figure out what I could do to free myself from the 'monkey on my back'. I did a lot of reading and self-development and learned a lot along the way. Some good some not so good. I was always interested in human behavior and at that moment realized that I wanted to help others get the 'monkey off their back'. After years of studying several methodologies such as NLP, Hypnotherapy and Havening Techniques, I had the tools to make a difference in people's lives with their weight, anxiety, stress, trauma and any other issue that was holding them back.   ​
