About Michelle

I am an award-winning artist, published illustrator, life coach, and passionate advocate for survivors, using my story and art to inspire hope, healing, resilience, and empowerment. As a domestic violence survivor, I transformed my pain into purpose, using art and storytelling to help others reclaim their voice. My mission is to guide individuals toward healing, self-expression, and personal growth through creativity and coaching. 

​

As an artist, teacher, and coach, I have been gifted with the ability to understand and verbalize the process of healing through creativity. The act of creating for creation’s sake is a proven therapy—a path to healing and wholeness. My journey spans a 24-year teaching career and an 8-year tenure as a small business/gallery owner, where I showcased my own works and continued to inspire others with hope, spirit, and resilience.  I am humbly aware my life and work is a testament to the warrior spirit within us all—the ability to rise and to stand boldly in our truth.

​

I find my passion guiding others in reclaiming their voice, embracing healing, and stepping into their power! Whether through coaching, workshops, or speaking engagements, I am here to support you on your journey!
