About Michelle

Michelle Renee Johnson, CPC, PCC
REMEMBERING….. The beginning of Michelle’s search for inner purpose and spiritual awareness began at the early age of 19 after a severe case of mercury poisoning and a losing battle with bulimia, caused by total identification of self through what others thought of her and an unbending need to control her circumstances, brought her to an emotional breaking point. At her lowest point, Michelle made a conscious decision that she was no longer willing to live this hollow shell of a life. She made an agreement with herself that day to do everything she could to reawaken that joyful, powerful being that she knew was inside her. Through that realization, her most difficult moment became the beginning of a spiritual awakening that has blossomed ever since.
LEARNING…. Over the next 10 years Michelle extensively studied the subjects of spiritual growth, inner awareness, personal empowerment and healthy communication. She voraciously studied and applied the works of Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsh, Abraham-Hicks, Cheryl Richardson, Byron Katie and many more awakened teachers to her life. With a background in teaching, facilitating, and mediation and a natural ability to support and guide others on their path, Michelle was guided into becoming a life coach and spiritual mentor. After rigorous training through the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching (iPEC), a world renowned coaching program, Michelle became a Certified Empowerment Coach (CEC). She is also accredited as a Professional Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Through coaching and mentoring, Michelle also found that her intuitive abilities drastically deepened allowing her to support her clients on a much deeper level.
