Michaela is a truly rare find. She is authentic, intelligent, and deeply warm in every interaction. Her sense of humor makes even the hardest conversations feel lighter, and her insight consistently helps me see things more clearly. I always feel genuinely heard and understood, without judgment. Working with her has been both healing and empowering in ways I didn’t expect. Thank you, Michaela.
