Hi, I'm Michaela...

I help people who feel disconnected from themselves, life, or people around them, to hold boundaries with confidence, and make self-trusting decisions, creating tangible results in personal or professional goals

About me...

A diverse educational and professional background, I hold a BSc in Forensic Science, an MSc in Environmental Health, and have completed AS Levels in Psychology and Sociology.

Alongside my academic qualifications, I am a trained Neuroshine Technology™ Level 2 Coach and a qualified Accunect™ Practitioner. My Accunect™ training involved client assessments, and I am listed on the Accunect™ Practitioner public register.

I am an author, having written a biographical book detailing my personal journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse. This transformative experience has also empowered me to become an International Public Speaker, sharing my story and insights on stage.

About me...

My personal growth has extended to other areas of my life as well. I am proud to be a model, a role that I once avoided due to low self-esteem. Today, I can walk the catwalk with confidence, a testament to the progress I have made.

Travel has also been a significant part of my life. I have explored the world through backpacking and working on a cruise ship. I also spent a year in France as an Au Pair, during which time I learned to speak French.

To maintain balance and fulfillment, I engage in a variety of self-care practices, including kickboxing, swimming, Accunect™ self-sessions, nature walks, reading, and meditation. These activities help to restore my nervous system and allow me to live with joy and purpose.

I am passionate about empowering others to embark on their own transformative journeys. As a Personal Development Coach and Accunect™ Practitioner, I am dedicated to supporting my clients in achieving their goals and living their best lives.

Testimonials

"..we then discovered that I have a fear of success!”

"Michaela came recommended to me by a friend because I could never stick to a plan. I had all these great ideas for a business, but it would only go so far before it failed again. Through sessions with Michaela, I could start to see where I have been self sabotaging. Once we discovered this, I could no longer blame, the economy, the government, lack of finances etc. and it gave me this real sense of power and control over my life again! Once I was in this state, we then discovered that I have been self sabotaging because I have a fear of success! - that was it! The idea of being the "successful one" in the family felt weird because I was always in the background of my family, never really achieving anything or taking centre stage for anything. So now, we have worked on this together, and my business is growing as I have trained my nervous system to feel safe to succeed! Thank you Michaela :)

“..subconsciously, I was seeking out men who reinforced the chaotic feelings I was so familiar with.”

“I had been having relationship troubles all my life. All the men I chose had addictions, and I was always burnt out in these relationships. With Michaela's gentle approach, I began to see similarities in the chaos of these relationships and the chaos I experienced throughout my childhood. We did some activities together in the sessions, which was a fun way of finding out my attachment style, and behavioural patterns. Once I had this, I could see that subconsciously, I was seeking out men who reinforced the chaotic feelings I was so familiar with. Now I knew what I was doing, I was able to notice the red flags much quicker, and take steps to ensure that I didn't fall back into my old ways. I am growing stronger every day”

“We're working on my confidence to say "no" and really mean it, without feeling guilty and backing down.”

“I came to Michaela as a last resort really. Being a man, I found it hard to speak to anyone about what was going on in my head. I was constantly arguing with friends, and couldn't sustain a relationship. It took me a while to really open up, but I still felt drawn to the sessions as it was my only outlet to feel safe to speak without judgement. We talked about doing visualisations in the times I found it difficult to express myself properly. I declined the first time, but a few sessions in, I asked if we could do this, and we did. It was actually really easy and I felt the benefit, as we just dealt with easing the pain without putting labels on it. Not sure what I was so worried about? My sessions with Michaela have opened my eyes up to how I have had no boundaries with friends and girlfriends, and I have enabled them to continue treating me so badly. We're working on my confidence to say "no" and really mean it, without feeling guilty and backing down. I like that I have total control of these sessions. I get to choose if I want to vent for an hour, or if I just want to do visualisation to help ease the pain i'm in. Thank you Michaela for your continued support"
