Now That You’re Here
Let’s Get to Know Each Other…
Hi, I’m Michaela
I started my journey in the Wellness world 10 years ago as an elite personal trainer, working with men and women of all ages to transform their fitness. As I trained clients from high-powered attorneys and lobbyists to new moms and aspiring collegiate athletes, I noticed that something was shifting beyond just body composition or strength.
Clients were showing up differently than when we first met. Where there once was negative self talk, lack of confidence, and dampened ambition, I began to see a belief in self, drive, and sense of purpose had taken their place. The change was palpable, like they had come into clearer focus for themselves and those around them.
I began to look deeper into the work we were doing beyond just physical training. Through a certification program with Stanford Medicine, I was introduced to the concept of co-regulation - a process within the nervous system that opened the door to a much deeper understanding of how we feel, respond, and move through the world.
It was like a door to true transformation was opening in front of me, and I knew that I had to go deeper not just for myself, but to bring more integrity and structure to how I supported others. That’s when I dove into neuroscience, compassion-based frameworks, and somatic work, applying both personally and professionally. I became certified in Trauma-Informed Training, Compassionate Leadership, and Nervous System Rewiring.
The shift was immediate, not just in results but how people experienced themselves.
As one recent client noted, "our work together has made what has felt impossible not only be possible but reality.”
Today, I work with individuals who know something has to change and are ready to take responsibility for how they show up, lead, and live. My work is focused on creating impact that continues paying dividends long after our time together ends. What drives me is the ripple effect - I know that when YOU feel more grounded, clear, and aligned in your life, the way you impact everything around you changes, too.
Who Odyssey Coaching Works With . . .
Individuals who know something needs to change and are willing to look honestly at their patterns, behaviors, and decisions.
People who value depth, evidence, and lived experience over quick fixes, hype, or one-size-fits-all frameworks.
Those who see personal regulation and system health as inseparable, and are willing to do the internal work that leads to sustainable external results.
. . . and Who We Don’t
Anyone looking for shortcuts, motivation-only coaching, or surface-level change without addressing root causes.
Clients seeking a rigid formula or prescriptive answers rather than a thoughtful, case-by-case approach.
Those not open to reflection, feedback, or real dialogue, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“Michaela helped me advance to things I wanted to jump to but wasn't able to because I didn't have the basics in place.”
B. P.
“I think our work together has made what has felt impossible not only be possible but reality. I think there is a lot of beauty in this idea of pushing ourselves so hard that when we get to the end and we reach our goal it empowers us to want to achieve more and be more. That change and sense of accomplishment has the power to envelop every facet of our life and we begin to see how we can be the best, most pure versions of ourselves. I feel that every time I work with Michaela.”
