Working with me may not be as extreme as riding a roller coaster (unless you opt to do just that) but it is designed to be disruptive to your status quo. To your bullshit stories about what you’re not capable of. To your cemented mindsets that keep you in the same loops over and over.

To everything in the way of enjoying the ride.

I am a jostler. First, of my own bullshit (believe me, I have plenty). I’m in the constant process of shifting it out of my way and making things happen for myself so that I can stand for the same in my clients from a place of integrity. In the process of working with me, you will learn how to jostle yourself as well.

I’ve had many clients over the last decade+ and spent thousands of hours coaching (you have to in order to attain this credential) but below you’ll see three key testimonials that I think highlight the scope of the work that I do.

Client Testimonial

“Roll up your sleeves; you're about to do some work: Getting crystal clear on what you genuinely want and not just what you say you want, taking responsibility for the parts of your life you can control (spoiler: it's a lot more than you thought), and acquiring or honing the skills to do so. Working with Michelle is to enter a focused space of empowered discernment, compassion, and accountability. My work with her has catapulted me way beyond my goals. I do not want to sugarcoat; the work we did together was some of the most intensely challenging I have done. It was also the most rewarding. I emerged a freer, truer, and more effective version of myself.”

-Sage Tidwell, Software Engineer


It is intensely challenging to confront the things we’ve been ignoring and maneuvering around for years, but the level of the reward on the other side is equally intense.

Client Testimonial

“When I first started working with Michelle, I told her that I probably couldn’t make more than a few thousand a month as a video producer. Recently, I had my first five-figure month. I expect big results everywhere now, not just with money. I expect great relationships, health, and ample room for my own creative projects outside of work.”

-Ricky Anderson II, Video Producer & Comedian


Expect greatness and get it. It’s simple, but not easy. The tough part is holding on to the vision even when life’s twists and turns leave your dizzy. A dedicated partner provides much needed stability.

Client Testimonial

“I worked with Michelle Akin when I was recovering from cancer treatment and in the early stages of writing my first book. She provided much-needed guidance during a critical transition, and the experience was both creatively liberating and life-affirming. I’d recommend her to anyone struggling to get unstuck.”

-Suleika Jaouad, Emmy-winning Journalist, Author, Teacher and Activist.
