MICHELLE'S JOURNEY

My Story

My path to coaching and breathwork emerged from two parallel journeys: building a successful career in global communications and experiencing the profound (and often overwhelming) adventure of parenthood. For nearly two decades, I ran Kerlan Communications, following my role as Senior Vice President at MWW Public Relations where I led the NYC office. While these experiences taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and human connection, it was parenthood that truly transformed my understanding of what it means to grow, adapt, and find balance in an increasingly complex world.

​

Like many of my clients, I've lived the challenge of wearing multiple hats—business owner, parent, partner, daughter, sister—while trying to meet both external expectations and internal aspirations. I've felt the weight of society's pressures, wrestled with that persistent inner critic, and navigated the sometimes overwhelming task of staying connected to joy and purpose amid life's demands.

A CORE MODALITY

Breathwork is one of the most important modalities in my personal toolkit that has changed my life and that of so many others. My certification is in Conscious Connected Breathwork, also known as Circular Breathing—one of the simplest, most powerful tools we have to regulate our nervous system.

​

I was trained and certified by Jon Paul Crimi, one of the most sought-after breathwork teachers in the world. Jon Paul is known for bringing breathwork into mainstream circles, working with Fortune 500 companies, professional athletes, and well-known names in entertainment. His approach is practical, grounded, and effective — and it's the foundation of what I now share with my clients.

MY PURPOSE

I believe everyone deserves to feel purposeful, connected, and alive with possibility—regardless of their professional level, life stage, or current challenges. My greatest joy comes from helping clients rediscover their inner wisdom, strengthen their relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Through our work together, you'll:

Develop practical strategies for managing life's complexities

Reconnect with your sense of purpose and joy

Create sustainable positive change

Strengthen your relationships at home and work

Build confidence in navigating transitions

Find balance among your many roles and responsibilities
