About Michelle
I’m Michelle, the founder of True North Coaching.
My work is shaped by years of walking alongside people during moments when things feel
unclear, repetitive, or quietly frustrating. Often, the people I work with aren’t in crisis—they’re
capable, thoughtful, and aware that something isn’t working, but unsure how to change it.
I’ve seen how easy it is to get stuck trying harder at the same approaches, hoping for a different
result. My role isn’t to push or fix, but to create the kind of space where patterns can be seen
clearly and new options begin to emerge.
Through calm conversation, reflection, and careful listening, we uncover what’s actually happening beneath the surface—often revealing insights that make change feel more natural than forced.
I believe clarity doesn’t come from becoming someone new. It comes from understanding yourself
more honestly and choosing your next steps with intention.
True North Coaching exists to offer that kind of steady, thoughtful support.
My approach to coaching is grounded, reflective, and practical. I don’t use formulas or quick fixes. Instead, I focus on helping you slow down enough to notice what’s actually shaping your choices—habits, beliefs, assumptions, and patterns that often operate quietly in the background. From there, change tends to happen more smoothly than people expect. Not because we rush toward solutions, but because clarity has a way of shifting things on its own.
Our work together is collaborative and respectful. You bring your lived experience. I bring steady presence, thoughtful questions, and a perspective that helps you see what may be hard to see on your own.
My Approach
My work is grounded in both formal education and ongoing study. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Social Work from Middle Tennessee State University, which gave me a strong foundation in human behavior, systems, and the ways patterns form and repeat over time. In addition to this academic background, I’ve completed certificates in Energy Medicine and in Spirituality, Health, and Healing. These studies inform how I think about self-awareness, regulation, and the role meaning plays in personal change. All of this learning supports the same goal: helping people understand themselves more clearly and move forward in ways that feel steady, thoughtful, and sustainable—back to your true north.
