straight talking
mental health speaker

I'm a straight-talking mental health speaker, counsellor and high-performance coach who turns lived experience into practical change.

​

Drawing on my journey through trauma, burnout, disordered eating and mental health challenges, I deliver honest, relatable conversations that challenge the way people think about resilience, self-care and personal responsibility.

​

My talks combine real-life experience with professional expertise, helping audiences move beyond awareness and into action. With a focus on practical strategies and sustainable change, I equip people with the tools, confidence and mindset shifts needed to improve their wellbeing and performance, both personally and professionally.

REAL CONVERSATIONS | PRACTICAL CHANGE

What Michelle Speaks About:

1. Mental Health without the BS
Breaking down what actually works when it comes to mental health, beyond the buzzwords and surface-level strategies.
 
2. Burnout, Boundaries & Self-Care without guilt
Why burnout happens, why boundaries are hard to hold and how to take care of yourself without the guilt that usually follows.
 
3. Breaking Generational Patterns
Understanding the cycles we inherit and what it takes to change them.
 
4. Resilience that’s real (not performative)
Moving past “just be strong” and into practical, sustainable ways to build resilience.
 
5. Navigating Trauma & Life After Crisis
A grounded, honest look at what it takes to move forward after trauma, loss or mental health challenges.
