About Michelle Gauthier Life Coaching

Meet Michelle
Hi! I'm Michelle and I've been a life coach since 2018, when I left my successful corporate job of 20 years to pursue my passion of helping women make the most of their one precious life.
When I'm not coaching, I can be found cheering at my children's various sporting events, hanging out with my handsome man friend, or taking on (yet another) home improvement project, just for fun. I also love reading the newest self-help books and working out at my beloved gym, Burn Bootcamp.Â
