About Michelle A Mckenzie<\/h4>\n\n\n

My siblings. I’m the tall one. 1966 in Mississippi<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My childhood influenced me!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Of course it did! Everyone’s childhood is a source of sadness and greatness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was an Air Force brat. My mother married five times (one man twice!). Her last love landed all five of us kids in child protective services because she was still married when she ran off with her new man. Through these experiences, I developed courage and leadership skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opportunity to reevaluate my life\u2019s direction came when the publishing department I managed was absorbed into the institution I worked for after 9-11 shook the world. The stock market dived, money was lost, and the institution’s leaders decided a publishing arm wasn\u2019t vital to their mission. After 18 years, I was no longer needed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love teaching and working with people, which has always been a part of my work. I wondered where I would find a similar opportunity. I felt aimless\u2014stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started to connect with parts of myself: my heart, my soul, and my body through meditation and spirituality, in ways I\u2019d never explored fully before.
Then I was gifted a month of coaching sessions. My coach helped me delve, dig, and discover myself. Eventually, this led me to My Purpose Path, and to dedicate myself to helping women rediscover their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I later trained as a veterinary assistant and worked in a veterinary office for a year. I went on to become a manager at a county animal shelter. I assisted our veterinarians with animals in the shelter needing medical support. I left that after five years to fully embrace my coaching business and to help people and their animals in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bring all my years of business experience, studies in spirituality, life knowledge, and coaching tools, including NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) to help my clients. I also offer Reiki and intuitive readings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
