Coaching for Women

The EssentialSteps program is based on a systematic process and is tailored to meet each client’s needs. This novel approach will empower you to take small steps in some areas and huge leaps in others based on what works in your life, today. But most importantly, you’ll learn the essentials for sustaining your changes after the program ends.

Lasting Lifestyle Changes in Only 4 Hours

Have you ever wished that you could create lasting lifestyle changes in a short period of time? Unlike working with other coaches and programs for an undefined amount of time and money, you know before you start that working with me is only four sessions.

In only four hours doing the EssentialSteps program with me over the telephone, you will finally achieve goals that reflect who you are and that you can sustain so you can optimally enjoy living your life. So you can come into full bloom. If not now, WHEN?

I offer a free, NO obligation 25-minute consultation by phone so you can ask questions and determine if my approach is the right fit for you.

Just scroll down to the blue box at the bottom of the page and fill out the contact form if you’d like to speak with me FOR FREE and learn more. What have you got to lose?

An Authentic Solution Customized to YOU

My research shows that for women to stay motivated over time their needs, wants, and feelings matter. In EssentialSteps you don’t have to fit into someone else’s definition, I help you create your own! My women-specific approach is EASY to learn and FUN to do. Following my systematic program you will:

  • Learn a NEW MINDSET toward exercise and self-care that will keep you motivated.
  • Discover key STRATEGIES and TOOLS to sustain exercise long term.
  • Develop an individualized approach that works with your life and reflects your core VALUES.
  • APPRECIATE instead of resent your body.
  • Create the necessary FOUNDATION for controlling your weight.

Coaching with Michelle

The EssentialSteps program for women embeds a transformational philosophy. My approach leads clients beyond simply achieving their wellness and health goals to self-empowerment, growth, increased energy, and a new way of living. Working with me, you will have insights and “ah ha” moments that you’ve never had before, moments that will enable you to break through your barriers and develop a new smart-self-care mindset and effective strategies for creating and sustaining your desired behavior changes. Are you ready to feel great, be strong and live better? Like many of my other clients, you might also discover that you can better control your weight too.

Our meeting room is the telephone, offering you great flexibility and convenience. We pre-schedule the four phone sessions to meet your scheduling needs. Each session is one hour. During the weeks between sessions, you work on implementing the plan you developed. Each session, we review your previous week’s goals and behavior, determine your hidden roadblocks to success (they are not what you think they are), and discuss new program concepts for that week. At the end of each session you set new goals for the upcoming week using the engaging EssentialSteps planning tools I developed.

I use a four-step, women-specific behavior change process in my programs that I developed and evaluated with funding from the National Institutes of Health in 1999. (You can read the published study resulting from this research. Click here.)

The four sessions in each program reflect this research. The sessions and workbook build upon each other. Each session will bring you new insights, strategies, and skills, and help you develop the RIGHT type of motivation so you can sustain your new essential steps for life. I don’t say that lightly.

My clients discover the key to sustained well-being, joy, and health. Many individuals still aren’t aware of the power of coaching to help individuals achieve their goals. Coaching is a partnership between a coach and a client that is a strategic and action-oriented process tailored to each client’s needs and life circumstances, often conducted over the telephone. This method works for individual women as well as large groups of women. Read Success Stories to see how EssentialSteps has help other women.
