Art. Emotion. Energy. Truth.
This is a space for those who feel broken, numb, or silenced where nothing is “too much,” and everything is welcome. Whether you are grieving, breaking, surviving, or searching, you are not alone here.
You no longer need to hide your pain.
We work with it gently, creatively, and courageously, so it can transform into meaning, connection, and healing. I am here to support clients reclaiming their voice, purpose and life force.
Hi, I’m Michelle, The Expressive Coach.
I’m a trauma-informed creative coach, intuitive healer, and artist.
I help people who are navigating grief, trauma, suicidal survival, heartbreak, and emotional pain find healing through self-expression, energy awareness, and emotional truth.
You don’t have to hide here. Let’s create a path through the pain together.
About Me
Why I Created The Expressive Coach
Because a lot of this world doesn’t know how to hold pain.
But I do.
I don't give advice from a pedestal.
I meet people in the mess, and we create meaning together.
I’m not a therapist.
I’m not a “fixer.”
I’m a guide, a mirror, and a fellow survivor.
We use creativity, expression, rage, ritual, color, writing, movement, whatever the heck works because the healing doesn’t have to be neat. It just has to be real.
If you're reading this and your chest is tight and your throat is hot and your heart is whispering, “this is me”,
You're right.
It is you.
And I’ve been waiting for you.
"You've survived the darkness. Now let's find the light.
From silence to expression. From pain to purpose."
Testimonials

James H.
"I came to her feeling completely lost after losing someone I loved to suicide and also surviving an attempt. I didn’t know how to breathe, let alone speak. She didn’t try to fix me, she just held space like no one ever had. Through our sessions, I found ways to express the pain, to make sense of it, and somehow... to keep living. This work saved me. She saw me when I couldn’t see myself."

"I didn’t even know I was carrying so much pain in my body until she guided me there. Her intuitive insight was spot on. It was like she could feel what I couldn’t say. I’ve done years of talk therapy, but this was something else. More sacred. More alive. I left each session feeling lighter, clearer, and somehow more whole."
"I had been emotionally shut down for years after a terrible breakup. I never thought I'd heal. Working with Michelle, (The Expressive Coach) felt like coming home to myself. The way she wove creativity, intuition, and real emotional truth together helped me access parts of me I thought were gone forever. It wasn’t about performance, it was about permission. To feel. To create. To heal."
My Services
Each session is a sacred space where healing happens through voice, feeling and intuitive expression.
Mini Expressive Healing Sessions
For: Grief, trauma, suicidal survival or deep emotional pain
These are one-on-one intuitive sessions where we explore what's beneath the pain gently, creatively, and with care. I create a guided conversation, energetic attunement, and expressive practices (writing, drawing, painting, dancing, speaking or silence), we help the truth come out and allow the healing to begin.
45 minute Zoom or in-person session
Grief & Suicide Survival Coaching Sessions
For: Those grieving a person, a life dream, a former self or surviving the unimaginable
Grief has no map, but it does have rhythm. These sessions are a gentle, expressive space for those navigating profound loss, including the complex and often silent grief of surviving suicide, whether of a loved one, or your own attempt.
We hold space for the unspoken: the shame, confusion, rage, numbness, and sorrow that don't always have language. Through ritual, intuitive guidance, and creative expression, we begin to feel what’s been buried and express what’s been held in...without judgment, without force.
Whether you're grieving a life, a version of yourself, or the pain of still being here, your truth is welcome. All forms of grief are valid, especially the ones rarely named.
1-1.5 hour Zoom or in-person session
May include optional painting prompts or soul collaging
Breakup & Heartbreak Recovery Sessions
For: Healing love loss, abandonment, identity loss or betrayal
Love changes us. Loss breaks us open. This isn't just about a breakup, it's about the deep ache of being discarded, unseen, or betrayed. Whether you're grieving a lover, a friend, a parent, or your own damn self in a relationship that broke you.
These sessions offer emotional support and creative release during one of the hardest kinds of grief, the living. Toogether we don't bypass your pain or dress it up with cliches. we honor it. We name it. We alchemize it. I help you restore your sense of self, explore what was lost, and guide you back to your own heart with intuitive reflection, gentle energetic support and creative release.
1-1.5 hour Zoom or in-person session
Includes guided expression + intuitive integration work.
Medical & Grief Intuitive Insight
Sessions
For: Emotional blocks, fatigue, body awareness, connecting with loved ones
This session is for the deep feelers, the ones navigating loss, illness, or the ache of watching someone you love slowly disappear. Whether you're facing illness, chronic pain, soul exhaustion, or sitting with the heartbreak of a loved one in a coma, decline, or already gone, this is sacred space to feel it, speak it, and make meaning of it.
Here, we slow down and tune in. We listen to your body and energy, but also to what’s trying to come through. Sometimes grief holds messages. Sometimes the spirit of a loved one is still close. Whether they're on the other side or in a liminal state, this session offers a bridge, not in a showy or "woo" way, but in a soft, respectful, intuitive one.
1.5 hour In-person only sessions
