If any of this sounds familiar
You don't need another wellness to-do list. You need a steadier place to start.
- You're functioning, but running on fumes.
- Your nervous system feels louder than your life.
- Self-care keeps landing at the bottom of the list.
- Something is shifting — work, family, identity — and you want support that meets you there.
The coaching
Private 1:1 wellness coaching, built around your real life.
We work together over a series of sessions — not a rigid program. The goal is traction you can actually feel: more energy, calmer mornings, clearer boundaries, and a way of caring for yourself that holds up when life gets loud.

Why Rise Well
A quieter kind of coaching.
Personal, not packaged
No cookie-cutter program. Your plan is shaped to your nervous system, schedule, and season of life.
Calm over hustle
The work is paced. We focus on changes that hold — not a sprint that collapses in two weeks.
Local & coastal
Rooted in Venice Beach. Walk-and-talk sessions and ocean-side resets when it fits.

Frequently asked
The honest answers.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical — focused on habits, energy, boundaries, and rhythm. Michelle is happy to refer out if therapy is a better fit.
Are sessions virtual or in person?
Both. Most clients meet virtually. If you're in or near Venice Beach, in-person and walk-and-talk sessions are an option.
How long do people usually work with you?
Most people start with an initial series of sessions over a few months, then continue at a lighter cadence as life settles. We'll find the rhythm that fits you.
What does it cost?
Packages and pricing are shared on the discovery call so they can be tailored to what you actually need. No pressure to commit on the call.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready?
That's exactly what the free 20-minute call is for. You can ask anything, share what's going on, and leave with clarity even if we don't end up working together.
How do I reach you between sessions?
Text or email — Michelle replies within 24 hours on weekdays.
