Experience a calm and welcoming space for self-discovery, allowing you to chart a new path towards an academic life that honors who you truly are.
How is your academic career going?
Do you experience feelings of overwhelm, self-doubt, imposter syndrome or burnout? Are you seeking to re-ignite your energy, motivation, and inspiration for academic work? Would you like to prioritize relationships, hobbies, and self-care without feelings of guilt or fear of falling behind in your career? Or perhaps you’d just like to move through daily life with more ease and less efforting.
I know how you feel. Over the course of my 30-year academic career, I have personally experienced anxiety, depression, burnout, imposter syndrome, and paralyzing self-doubt. I have struggled with balancing the demands of an academic career with the challenges of parenting and nourishing important relationships. I have at times neglected my physical health and abandoned hobbies that once brought me joy. At one point, I was ready to leave academia altogether.
Throughout my career, I have turned to the practices of yoga and mindfulness–meditation, movement, breathing, journaling, and mantra–to help me navigate the academic world in a way that feels authentic to who I am. Drawing on my extensive professional experience, yoga teaching certification, and additional training in holistic life coaching, I am eager to share the power of these practices with fellow academics at all career stages.
Together, we will engage in a journey of self-discovery.
We start from the assumption that there is no “right” way to be an academic and will work together to discover a way of being an academic that feels authentic and fully aligned with who you truly are. You will become empowered to make decisions guided by your core values and intuitive wisdom.
Please note that this is about personal transformation. It is not a program for those looking to meet short-term academic goals (there are lots of great coaches offering these services, and I’d be happy to refer you).

Meet Michele
I’ve worked as an environmental social scientist for more than 30 years in both the US and Europe. I’ve been a “successful” academic judging by traditional measures, AND I have personally experienced anxiety, depression, burnout, imposter syndrome, and paralyzing self-doubt.
My coaching style is informed by three decades as an academic along with a 200-hour yoga teaching certification and additional training in holistic and mindfulness coaching. I create a calm and welcoming space for self-discovery and empower clients to create an authentic academic life that centers well-being and personal transformation.
We will work
towards personal transformation to:
overcome feelings of overwhelm, self-doubt, imposter syndrome and burnout;
re-ignite your energy, motivation, and inspiration for academic work, and
prioritize relationships, hobbies, and self-care without fear of falling behind in your career.
If this resonates with you, let’s start the journey together.
