Values Based Coaching

Built for individuals, teams and people with lived experience not just ideal conditions.

Values based Coaching is the foundation of everything I do. It’s not about fixing you or telling you who to be — it’s about creating the space to reconnect with what genuinely matters and learning how to live, lead and perform from that place.

Drawing on evidence-based coaching practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles and high-performance frameworks, I help people identify their core values and translate them into everyday decisions, boundaries and behaviours — especially during periods of change, pressure or uncertainty.

With a background in elite sport, leadership and wellbeing, I bring a calm, direct and deeply human approach to coaching. I work with athletes, leaders and individuals who are navigating identity shifts, transitions, and who want to move forward with clarity, integrity and confidence.

This work isn’t about motivation or hype — it’s about alignment. When your values are clear, decisions become easier, energy returns, and you build a life and career that feels both sustainable and true to who you are.

Success stories.

  • Taylor Worth

    "When all others had no idea how to help me, the incredibly stubborn athlete with all my walls up, Michelle had the time and patients to break everything down. Getting to know and understand who I was as a person behind the athlete mask. She helped give me the tools to navigate the outside world and picked me up every time I stumbled, which was a lot. From a disillusioned athlete that was going to sport for the rest of my life with no plan for the future and could not see everything I had around me, to hitting rock bottom while navigating the transition from elite sport to civilian life and hating both worlds around me, to finding peace and being able to grow as a husband, a father and a person. My transition journey could not have been possible without Michelle. She helped me through every up and down with a calm and patience I didn’t know I needed. I cannot thank her enough for all the support, mentoring and encouragement I received over the years."

  • "I’ve known Michelle to always move towards what is most important rather than comfortable with energy and conviction. Michelle has a healthy disregard for adhering to the ‘status quo’. Michelle isn’t restricted or slowed down by convention and social expectation. She puts honesty and long term progress/growth over and above agreeableness and social harmony which allows her to think in unique and innovative ways."

    Jason Patchell
    Founder of Innerventure

  • "Michelle has been my rock throughout all the ups and downs of competitive surfing and life itself. After I graduated uni, she helped me align the next phase of my life with values that are true to who I am. Through 2 physical injury’s and a mental breakdown, Michelle was always a phone call away, listening ear, a warm hug. She has always known how to guide me to realise what is most important when everything else felt uncertain."

    Sophie McCulloch
    Australian Professional Surfer

  • "Michelle's guidance came at exactly the right time in my career. Her understanding of what I needed, both personally and professionally, was spot on. She provided me with clarity, support, and the direction I needed to take."
