If you’re mentally fit, you can handle life’s great challenges without mental stress or other negative emotions.
You’ll be happier and perform better. Shirzad Chamine
I work best with women, often leaders (or aspiring leaders) that are ready to take the next step – people who are prepared to get to where they want to go and who are ready to make a change (even if you don’t know how to do that yet) People who want to have balance and peace in their lives.
Are you ready to be vulnerable and authentic and commit to doing the work that will transform you and your outlook on life? Are you ready and willing to stop circling the mountain and get up and go over? Because you know there is more in you and more that you have to give the world?
The difference with my coaching is it deals with the self-sabotage and saboteur voices that keep you at the foot of the mountain and gives you the tools to tackle issues and challenges from a calm and centred place – I help you to unlock yourself and your thinking to achieve your potential and get to the outcome you want to live your very best life.
Working with PQ Intelligence I work through the way you can re-wire your thinking – have a look at the amazing science behind this type of coaching.

‘Michelle is brilliant in what she does. She has helped me so much to identify my values and my strengths and to see myself with more optimism, something I was definitely lacking when we first met. I think Michelle is able to create a sense of safe space to discuss issues and has always been able to push me (emotionally) when I needed to be challenged’. Saleta CR …..(Now in a new more senior role)
Attending coaching sessions has helped build my confidence and provided the affirmation I needed to move forward in my career and personal life. It has taught me to face all new challenges with a positive attitude regardless of my inner reservations and to challenge myself in all aspects of my life. Charlene S (Now in a more senior role in the private sector)
Drawing out themes and feelings that I wasn’t, on the surface of it, aware of. At times, this delving deeper got us into some fairly sensitive territory that with anyone else would have made me feel very uncomfortable. However, with Michelle I felt able to talk freely and really valued her ability to facilitate key conversations that I needed to have. She has the ability to make sessions feel personal whilst maintaining a focus on outcomes and keeping sessions on track.

My coach is honestly the reason why I was able to stay in my job and see my project contract to the end. Without her
guidance, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today. She uses the perfect balance of empathy, excellent listening skills and practical advice to navigate each and every situation that I brought to our sessions. Michelle is very natural in our sessions and has a calming influence. Helen Mc (Now in a great, fulfilling role in another industry)
This experience was excellent, I fully bought into the experience from the beginning and got the most out of it as a result. The sessions really gave me direction and assisted me with closure on a number of other personal issues. This in turn gave me the self-confidence to then apply for a senior management role within a Council near to my home. I got the job and start in April.

Right now, my home smells like Autumn; it smells of cinnamon, cloves, and orange and a distant memory I can’t quite grasp. This walnut cake is resting and cooling (the hardest part of the process!) This is a delicious Greek cake made with grape molasses and olive oil so no nasty refined sugars. All credit for this goes to an excellent Greek lady called Deppy whose website is 
Sometimes you just want something sweet and almost like ice cream :-) this simple smoothie can be as fancy or as simple as you want and there is no end to the healthy ingredients you could add. I have a suggestion to add some Baobab powder, which I happen to like the taste of and takes this drink to a new level of healthiness! So you can slurp away, safe in the knowledge that you are consuming vitamins, minerals, fiber and anti-oxidants :-)
Another Blue Zone recipe that combines flavour and health. I love apples and oats so this is a winning combination for me. I do enjoy fruit but sometimes you just want a sweet treat or a snack that feels comforting. You don’t have to compromise on flavour in order to eat in a healthful way – these bars can be eaten for breakfast or for a snack with a cup of tea or coffee. Cheap, simple and Vegan.
Absolutely delicious! I do love noodles but often find they can be greasy when I buy them outside. These tasty sesame infused noodles are just the job! The sauce that accompanies this lifts the dish and makes it rather mooreish – however, rice vermicelli noodles are low calorie – yay! have no cholesterol and are a great source of carbohydrate. You can get this tasty dish onto the table pretty quickly (about 20 minutes) and look like a pro!
I stumbled upon this little gem by pure accident whilst looking for directions on making Turkish tea (I now own a fantastic Turkish double tea pot!) This amazing breakfast spread is a well kept secret and has become a firm favourite in my home. It is so simple but really delicious. This is a blend of tahini and molasses (I have used either blackstrap molasses or grape molasses) Molasses is good for the health, helps reduce PMS and reduce joint pain among other healthful properties. Grape molasses was used as a ‘cure-all’ in ancient times. Tahini is full of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals and also very good for heart health – so you can slather this on warm bread in the morning without any guilt!
I love empanadas and the smokey, sweet tomato sauce that I used to have with tuna empanadas. These plant-based versions are just as tasty and very easy to make. I have now found ready made wholemeal shortcrut pastry (Thank you Tesco!) its light and crumbly and these little treats are great for a mid-morning snack. I bought a nifty little empanada maker from the internet which is amazing (come in three different sizes) and ensure your empanadas don’t come undone during baking. If you are having a gathering – these are very moorish and will disappear quickly!
Despite the cold snap of weather we are having, better weather is on its way 🙂 (promise!) The lighter the days get the more I enjoy a nice tangy and fresh salad. This salad lends itself to a mix of tomatoes types – cherry, plum, yellow, vine etc. The addition of cubes of stale sourdough bread (or any uncut bread you have) make this more filling – this is a bit of grown-up salad! With origins in Tuscany, Italy the salad was created like most great, rustic dishes to avoid waste and is a typical peasant dish. If that makes me a peasant – I’m happy to be!
I love to find recipes that are bursting with goodness but still taste delicious and comforting – and this dish delivers. I found this on
