let's get started!

nervous system expert, ENNEAGRAM 3, book hoarder, MATCHA LATTE LOVER, growth seeker, accountability partner, and pursuer of joy.

I'm Michelle.
Your Master Coach.

I'm wife to Jeff, mom to Amory & Ashton, trial attorney, master coach, podcaster, local church pastor, and nervous system expert.  Sounds like a lot, right? And guess what?!? I'm not even losing my mind! Ha!

I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma-Informed Master Coach. I specialize in somatic trauma healing: attachment work, parts and inner child work, and nervous system regulation.

I created The Calm Mom Academy because I want to share with you the exact roadmap that has allowed me to regulate my nervous system, grow my window of tolerance (which means I can do more without feeling overwhelmed), and build a wildly successful and deeply fulfilling business and life.

If I can do it, so can you. Everything you want and feel called towards is possible for you too.  Let's do this thing, together!

So, I decided that it was ok that I couldn't do it all.  I made strategic decisions to change my habits.  I quit the perfectionism.  I quit the toxic mindsets.  I quit the limiting beliefs.  I quit showing up for everything and everyone around me and decided to focus on what was most important to my family.  I found key ways to simplify my life.  I set up vital systems in my home to free up my time and energy and I learned where I needed to surrender.

Most powerfully of all, I learned how to regulate my nervous system.  And now I want to teach you how to do the same.

I felt like I was giving my all and still falling short. but nothing changes, if nothing changes, right?

I can remember back when I had a front-row seat on the hot-mess express. I was an attorney running a busy law firm by day, law school professor by night, all while trying to parent my kids, pour into my marriage, and keep up my home - and what I found is that I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and on the fast track to burnout.


My peace returned the moment I quit.

As a member of The Calm Mom Academy,  you'll receive somatic tools tailored to the type of dysregulation you’re experiencing to help you come out of it quicker.  You'll have exercises to heal and reshape your nervous system that take just a few minutes each day.

focus on both top-down (brain) & bottom-up (body) approaches to healing 

You're not going to find any “band-aid” fixes here. Everything I teach is scientifically proven to shift your experience and rewire your brain and body. That’s the power of working with your nervous system.

So, if you’ve tried all the things and they haven't worked, you're in the right place.  The Calm Mom Academy bridges research-backed techniques in trauma resolution with Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and more.  This is the program to bring you lasting, compassionate, and trauma-informed approaches to healing and nervous system regulation.

worksheets to walk you through your transformation 

live group support with michelle and private community for members

 A proven science-backed roadmap grounded in cutting-edge research

Here's why The Calm Mom Academy is unlike anything else you've tried...

Did you know that 80% of your nerves are afferent?  This means that they carry information up from your body to your brain. Only 20% of information travels down from your brain to your body.

That’s why The Calm Mom approach is so effective! Yes, mindset work is important. But when we change the message our body is sending up to our brain, that's where the healing magic happens.
