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.

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.
