Meet Michelle
Michelle Hibbert is a life coach who specializes in supporting emerging adults, teens and the parents who love them through one of life’s most uncertain and emotionally charged transitions.
Originally from the UK, Michelle has lived in Atlanta, Georgia, for over 17 years and brings nearly two decades of experience in education, health, and human development. She spent 18 years teaching middle school, high school, and community college students in both the UK and the United States, giving her a deep, firsthand understanding of how young people think, struggle, and grow during critical developmental years. In addition to teaching, Michelle is a certified personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and worked closely with students and personal clients to build confidence, discipline, and self-trust through physical well-being.
In 2017, Michelle transitioned out of traditional education but never left her calling to help people become their best and most capable selves. Her work evolved into coaching, where she initially supported women in building confidence, self-awareness, and healthier relationships with themselves and others. Over time, she recognized a growing need she knew intimately. Young adults and teens feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward, and parents feeling worried, frustrated, and afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.
Today, Michelle works with emerging adults and teens who are struggling with confidence, clarity, motivation, and direction, as well as parents who want to support their young adult children without enabling, controlling, or pushing too hard. Through her life coaching practice and her training as an Inspirator™ Coach and Certified Life Coach, Michelle helps clients look at the whole person, including mindset, emotions, identity, habits, and life skills, so real and lasting change can occur.
Michelle’s approach is compassionate, practical, and empowering. Emerging adults and teens gain confidence, emotional resilience, and tools to make decisions, manage stress, and take meaningful steps toward independence. Parents gain clarity, relief, and a healthier way to support their children while strengthening trust and connection within the family.
Having sought life coaching herself during a pivotal season of uncertainty, Michelle understands what it feels like to want clarity, direction, and peace and not know how to get there. Today, she pays that forward by guiding young adults and families toward confidence, independence, and a more fulfilling future together.
What People Are Saying…

I loved doing the class with Michelle. It was an opportunity to take some time out of my busy week and reflect on the things that were important. Mainly- how to live my life more intentionally. An added bonus were the other women in the class. Not only were they fellow students, they also became my friends. I'm so grateful to Michelle's guidance and leadership.

Working with Michelle and the rest of the ladies in our workshop has been eye-opening. The tools for a fabulous life are given to you in four fun-filled girl talk sessions. I have recognized what changes I needed and now I am on the road to living my best life!
Cindi D.
These 4 weeks have been some of the hardest, but some of the most rewarding I have experienced in my life. Revealing the "real" me....without the "pretty" that we wear like a mask, has been beyond eye-opening. I have been given the tools to take back my life and make it fabulous. And, even better, I have gained friendships and a support group that is indescribably amazing.

Just finished Michelle's Finding Your Fabulous mini-retreat. What a great way to spend my weekend. Beautiful setting, lots of self-care, well-fed, and it nourished my soul. Michelle's coaching resulted in some major ah-ha moments during the weekend that I'm not sure would have come about otherwise. Very empowering and money well spent. Can't wait for the next one!!

Michelle was fantastic as a Life Coach. She also worked with me in Positive Intelligence (PQ) which helped me find my Saboteurs and Sages. She helped me learn how to use them.
Caroline L.
Michelle was such a wonderful coach. I was stuck in a place of anxiety, overwhelm, and basically feeling like I was running in circles. Not only did she help me get my goals organized, (life and business) she helped me get a hold of the anxiety I was feeling, talk it out, and not feel like I was alone. She has wonderful strategies for moving forward and reaching your goals. One small step at a time, which made the whole process feel do-able. Thank you so much Michelle.”
Angelica C.
Michelle saw and knew my struggles, stepped up by offering her coaching expertise. I wasn't sure how this would help me and do I want to be vulnerable/open about what I am struggling with on the inside? Thank GOD I didn't put coaching off because of me feeling embarrassed. By the end of the 4th session it was a 180° change FOR THE BETTER! Michelle LISTENS and give feedback on what you've said. The other important thing she does is be ENGAGING! She's up there on therapist level. Her personal experience and coming from where I am provides familiarity. If you have an opportunity to work with Michelle do NOT hesitate! She has your back and want you to live more Fabulous! Thank you Michelle!

Michelle did an absolutely fantastic job helping my son after he graduated college. He was lacking confidence, and was just generally confused and frustrated as to how to move forward with his life after leaving full time education. I could not be more pleased as after just a couple of sessions, I could see a huge change in his motivation and confidence. By the end of his course of coaching sessions, he was working, so much more confident and taking control of other emotional and personal issues I didn’t even expect the course to help with! It has turned his life (and attitude) around. Thank you Michelle! It was so frustrating for me not to know as a parent how to help my child with this issues, and in the end my job as a parent turned out to be finding the right person to help him when I couldn’t.

Before working with Michelle, I was completely trapped in the cycle of overwork. As an IT Project Manager, I was on call 24/7, constantly answering emails, and unable to set any boundaries with my boss. My health, social life, and well-being took a backseat—I didn’t work out, barely saw my friends, skipped meals, and felt too exhausted to cook or do anything for myself. It felt like I was just surviving, not living. With Michelle’s guidance, I completely turned my life around. She helped me recognize that my well-being had to come first. I built the confidence to set boundaries, and ultimately, I made the bold decision to resign. I honored my commitments during my notice period, but for the first time in years, I prioritized me. I started seeing friends again, going to farmers' markets, working out three times a week, and actually taking a lunch break—something I hadn’t done in years. Once I fully stepped away from my job, I felt an incredible weight lift off my shoulders. The stress that had consumed me was gone. I had savings to fall back on, and with Michelle’s support, I found the courage to start my own organizing business—something I never thought I could do. While there were financial adjustments, I gained something far more valuable: my freedom, my health, and my happiness.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like work is taking over your life, Michelle is the person you need. She doesn’t just give advice—she empowers you to take control and create a life that actually
feels good
to live.

Six Elements of Wellness-
National Wellness Institute
All of these wellness elements have a connection to how you and your emerging adult live your everyday life.
How does life coaching differ from therapy?
Life coaching is focused on the present and future, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Michelle helps emerging adults build clarity, confidence, and forward momentum through conversation, reflection, and practical action steps. Coaching is supportive and growth-oriented, helping clients move forward rather than analyze the past.
How often are coaching sessions conducted?
Most clients meet with Michelle on a regular, consistent schedule, often weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels most supportive. Sessions are structured enough to create momentum, but flexible enough to meet young adults where they are.
What if I’m unsure about my goals or direction?
That’s completely okay, and very common. Many emerging adults start coaching feeling unsure, stuck, or overwhelmed. You don’t need to have answers before you begin. Michelle helps clients uncover clarity over time, starting exactly where they are and building confidence step by step.
What if my child isn’t motivated or doesn’t want coaching?
This is one of the most common concerns. Michelle does not force change or push young adults before they’re ready. Her approach is gentle, respectful, and collaborative, which often helps reduce resistance. Many young adults become more open once they feel heard rather than pressured.
Will this replace my role as a parent?
No. Coaching is not about replacing parents; it’s about supporting independence. Michelle helps young adults take more responsibility for their own lives, which often allows parents to step back from constant worry, reminding, or rescuing. The goal is a healthier, more balanced relationship for everyone.
What if I’m afraid of stepping back too much, or not enough?
This fear is very real. Michelle understands how hard it is to know when to help and when to hold back. While the coaching work focuses on the young adult, parents often gain clarity simply by watching their child grow in confidence and self-trust.
How will I know if coaching is helping?
Parents often notice subtle but meaningful changes first, less tension, more communication, greater follow-through, and a shift toward independence. Progress may not always be dramatic at first, but it tends to build steadily over time.
What if my child needs therapy instead of coaching?
If a young adult needs clinical or therapeutic support, Michelle will gently encourage the appropriate next step. Coaching works best when the goal is growth, direction, and life skills, not mental health treatment.
