Michelle’s journey as a parent has been both challenging and transformative. Navigating her son’s autism spectrum disorder and her daughter’s eating disorder, showcased in her debut novel, Grapevine: A Mother and Daughter’s Tangled Journey Through an Eating Disorder, led her to explore the principles of Individual Psychology. Michelle completed the InnerMBA and holds certificates in Advanced Adlerian Psychology, Wellness Coaching, Advanced EcoTherapy, Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga, Trauma-informed Leadership and Executive Leadership.
