**“ Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. “**

- Rumi

This quote from Rumi is a keen reflection of my own journey of transformation. After 25 years in tech focusing on achieving career success and finding fulfillment through external endeavors, I turned my attention inward. My creative impulse is stronger than ever, and now it flows out of authentic self-expression, and is anchored in the inner truth that improving our shared reality starts from elevating our individual consciousness.

Today I share my gifts through writing and teaching, bridging the mystical and the practical for founders, leaders, and creative souls ready to live from their deeper truth.

From My Clients

"I had the honor of working with Michelle Ma following our WFN [Women Founders Network] pitch. The experience of learning from Michelle was transformative, to say the least. Her ability to insightfully guide you in your journey will lead to an unimaginable metamorphosis which can only be described as spiritually awakening. Michelle’s wisdom is transcendent and anyone who is lucky enough to spend an hour with her will understand the power she is able to wield with just her words. I will never forget the lessons I learned from Michelle and would recommend her to anyone ready to explore their true purpose and connect with the highest version of themselves."

- Rebecca, Entrepreneur/Startup Founder (United States)
"The space Michelle provided was beautifully expansive, spacious, and profound. I loved seeing the unfolding in all of us. She is a wonderful facilitator, and one I trust to go deep with. Thank you, Michelle, for being our guide and doing this work in service to others!"

- Gavan, Executive Coach (United States)
“Having entrepreneur coaching was something I thought about for a long time, but I was very scared as to what that would look like. I thought it would be a waste of time. I thought what is she going to tell me that I can't hear on a podcast? I was so wrong! As a single mom with a big personal life, I knew I needed to take the time to do this to make more time for myself. I was able to gain insight into what type of leader I want to be, and I also got to reflect on my strengths, which Michelle helped me to realize in every session. Her soft, calming presence, even over zoom, helped me to relax and open up more and more every week. Forever grateful for the experience! “

- Val, Entrepreneur/Startup Founder (United States)
"Coaching with Michelle is something that I always look forward to! She is able to create such a safe and free space where our conversations simply flow and I am always able to show up as my most authentic and best self. Our conversations never feel one-sided – I love co-creating with Michelle. Michelle understands where I am coming from. She meets me where I am and then gently challenges me out of my comfort zone to go deeper. Working with Michelle feels like rowing in a calm misty lagoon towards sunrise - it’s a moment of deep immersive reflection and exploration filled with hope and clarity ahead. "

- Nan, Entrepreneur/Creator (China)
“ Michelle is both an amazing listener, and a wise sage. The manner in which she was able to help me not only ask the right questions, but also look at the right answers, with the right perspective was amazing. Sessions with her were like large cold glasses of water after crawling through the desert of life’s fears and uncertainty . I entered each session with fear that I wasn’t prepared for her poignant analysis of my goals and aspirations, and left each session with a fresh, inspired confidence that I was prepared to take on the world. She has a natural ability to shine light on the challenges, and add clear vision to their resolve. ”

- Wade, Entrepreneur/Product Agency Owner (United States)
“Michelle has helped me evaluate and navigate major life changes, including changing jobs and moving to Europe (Portugal). Throughout our sessions, Michelle helped me to align with my values, listen to my inner voice, and act upon it. She was extremely skillful in guiding the evaluation of various areas of life based on true personal values. Ultimately, Michelle helped me create a clear vision I was highly motivated to act upon. I highly recommend Michelle's coaching for any area of life."

- Nicolas, Entrepreneur/Marketing Agency Owner (Portugal)
