I was initially impressed by Michelle’s lively personality and sense of humor. Gradually, I noticed how much time she had for her students and co-workers. Michelle has an air of sensitivity to others and a strong professional quality that is exhibited daily. I was constantly impressed by her dedication to her professional and individual approach to faculty and students. With an amazing sense of humor, was a person who could read people both accurately and quickly. These qualities enable her to help people achieve their goals professionally as well as assist with personal issues that hinder development.
Michelle has a knack for assessing people and an overwhelming desire to help. She has worked in different capacities, but the underlying theme is her desire to motivate people to achieve their professional and personal goals. She is a problem solver with the right touch for the varying personalities of the people she works with. I have had the opportunity to watch her move in the direction of improving the lives of others as a coach. Michelle has accumulated the knowledge and the experience to benefit a great many people. The sky is truly the limit for her clients/students and herself. I can be as effusive as possible in my description of Michelle. Whether she is aware of it or not she has made me a happier and better person.

Anyone working with Michelle will be forever grateful. It was a blessing we met; she was an answer to prayer through my family members trying to help me and they purchased a session for me. Through an exceedingly difficult time in the life of losing my husband and then my only child, she did what a standard protocol couldn’t do for me, though I tried. Nothing connected with me to help me through the grief healing process as working with Michelle one-on-one. She helped me to see there is still so much life to live though it will be different.
She showed me how to look at life from a different angle. She knew how to reach my very soul. I connected with her. She taught me the self-care I needed. She was my healer, my confidante, and helped me believe I would feel good again. She helped me achieve what I needed to keep going. She understood me as she has experienced loss in her own life. She has a gift that resonated me back to being me and finding my new normal in life. She helped me to understand that I could live happily. You never know what life has in store for you. I am so glad life also had Michelle in store for me. I am forever grateful for her support, understanding, and complete compassion to help to get me back on my feet in this thing called life. Today I am happy and enjoy my extended family, friends, and new activities in my life. I am forever thankful for Michelle. She was my saving grace.

I had the pleasure of having Michelle as my instructor and she was absolutely amazing! As she was our first encounter in our program, she solidified a foundation to focus, finish the program, and pursue our career. She genuinely cared about what each student had going on in our lives and where she could help, and she did. She connected with us in a way that changed not only how we viewed our studies and habits, but our lives as well! I am forever grateful for the experience she gave me and am a better person having met her.

Michelle Merrix is a great teacher and inspiring mentor. She made me realize that in order to achieve my goals I must believe in myself and never get discouraged. Always stay positive and move forward. She taught me how to stay focused. She helped me realize that you are all the encouragement and strength you need to succeed. If you believe, you will achieve!

Michelle is very perceptive, a good listener, and has given me great advice. She consistently comes up with smart, creative solutions to problems and I’d like to say that she doesn’t sugarcoat anything and is honest. She tells you the truth and allows you to see a situation from a different angle. She has a cheerful disposition that is absolutely contagious. She makes it easy to open up to her and you never feel like you have to worry about anything confidential or being judged. She’s engaging during her speaking events and makes you feel good about who you are and all you can do.

Michelle has a way like no other to connect with you and makes you feel comfortable. Her advice and solutions have made a huge difference in my life. I have learned to look at things differently. She has made me feel empowered to move on from a divorce life situation, where I was caught off guard and felt stuck and not worthy. She has allowed me to see life in a whole different way. I am grateful to work with her. I now feel more confident than I ever have in my life. She helped me with the c
onfidence to get the job I always wanted.

I am happy to say how Michelle impacted my life. Meeting her was from an unknown perspective. She embraced each of us. As a teacher, she walked into our journey. She saw each of our special uniqueness and challenged us not to fear but conquer individually and as a group. We laughed and cried, and she also shared her desires with us. She helped us to enjoy who and where we were in life and our choices. I still remember her saying, “Theresa, you have a story to share”. She is special as a teacher and has a unique grace to impart tools to help people climb to the next level in life. As a person, her personality has been maximized in life by the light she has to see the best in humans and bring out their best. I’m grateful to have had the whole of Michelle as both a group teacher and then my personal coach.
