I'm Michelle Bartels, a certified NLP Life Coach and former nurse of over 25 years. I help people get unstuck in the three places life gets hardest: themselves, their relationship, and their health — one honest conversation at a time.
My path into this work wasn't a straight line — and that's exactly why I do it. As someone who built a business from the ground up, I understand what it feels like to be overworked, undervalued, and ready for something to change.
Today I work with clients one-on-one online, using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) coaching to help people move through anxiety, identity shifts, career transitions, relationship challenges, and the quiet work of simply feeling like themselves again.
Before coaching, I spent over 25 years as a nurse — caring for people at some of the hardest moments of their lives. That background shapes how I show up now: grounded, practical, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing, not just your goals.
Whether you're working on yourself, your marriage, or your health, my approach stays the same: grounded, personal, and centered on what actually moves you forward.
