Welcome to Michele Joyce Life Coach, where your personal growth and fulfillment are my highest priorities. I offer life-coaching services for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, supporting each client with personalized guidance tailored to their unique journey.
My path to life coaching has been a rich and rewarding one. Before becoming a certified life coach, I built a diverse career as a travel writer, art museum curator, and school teacher. Each of these experiences deepened my understanding of people, cultures, creativity, and learning — all of which now enrich the coaching work I do today. These varied perspectives allow me to meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re pursuing a new career, navigating a major life change, seeking greater balance, or simply striving for a more fulfilling life.
Today, I devote my time and energy to helping clients tap into their strengths, clarify their goals, and move forward with confidence and purpose.
Certified Life Coach
I am an experienced life coach, certified as a Wayfinder Life Coach by Martha Beck and as an Associate Certified Coach by the International Coaching Federation. My coaching philosophy emphasizes deep self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the cultivation of authentic life paths. I am committed to fostering lasting, positive transformation in the lives of my clients, and I have received positive feedback from clients for my empathetic and insightful mentorship in areas such as career fulfillment, personal relationships, and financial well-being.
“I would work with Michele again!”
Michele is patient, naturally curious, compassionate, and great at generous interpretation. I noticed myself sharing more authentic parts of myself, which I hadn’t shared before when receiving coaching in other relationships.
