Guest Bio

Michelle Gillette is a purpose-driven wellness entrepreneur: a former hedge fund executive turned mom and Functional Medicine Health Coach committed to helping others to reinvigorate themselves, from the inside out, whether that be physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, relationally or "all of the above." 

She still believes in love, and is passionate about helping others get unstuck from the patterns that have held them back. 

She's certified as a Life Coach, Health Coach, Brain Health Coach and Breathing Coach -- but it's her own odds-defying life of learned resilience that has truly given her the perspective, relatability, compassion and experience to support others as they go from "merely surviving to thriving." 

She was married for 23 years, and today is empty-nested, amicably divorced and co-parenting two well-adjusted 20-something humans, who she continues to learn from and adore.
