Testimonial- by Kristin C.
Michelle’s coaching has caused a seismic change in the way I handle my life today.
While going through a period of uncertainty, her guidance and nonsense approach allowed me to view my situation from a different perspective.
This new perspective makes me feel hopeful instead of hopeless.
Her ability to truly connect with you during our sessions is one of her greatest strengths.
Michelle’s nonjudgmental approach to every situation allows you to process your feelings about your circumstances and choices and helps you develop a clear plan to change the things you do not like.
The tools I have gained during my sessions with Michelle have allowed me to approach difficult situations with less anxiety and confusion.
I am able to refer to the strategies we have practiced during our sessions and complete tasks one step at a time.
I have gained invaluable life skills such as patience, understanding, conflict resolution and love of self through our time together.
While there is still work to be done, I look forward to what the future holds and how much stronger I can become.
I highly recommend Michelle Barrett, Master Life Coach to anyone in need of guidance during a difficult time in their lives.

Client Exit Interview-Kyle K.
My name is Kyle, a 32 year old male residing in Lower Westchester. After working with Michelle Barrett, certified Master Life Coach for over a year, it’s hard to put into words just how impactful this experience has been on my life. I initially came in at one of the lowest points I’ve ever faced—dealing with the emotional fallout of losing a fiancée under deeply painful circumstances, combined with unresolved childhood trauma and a general loss of confidence and direction.
From the start, she created an environment that was both challenging and supportive. Through structured weekly one on one in person sessions, she challenged me to do my homework and really self reflect. In addition, through fitness and consistent motivation, she pushed me beyond limits I didn’t think I was capable of reaching. What started as crying sessions with zero direction quickly became something much deeper—each session building not just strength, but resilience, discipline, and self-respect.
One of the most transformative aspects of this experience was the emotional work we did together. She helped me confront and process childhood trauma that I had avoided for years. This wasn’t surface-level coaching—she went as far as facilitating an in-person intervention with my parents and me, which became a turning point in how I understood my past and how it shaped me. That level of commitment is something I will never forget.
She also played a critical role in helping me rebuild my sense of self-worth. Through her guidance, I was able to shift my mindset, regain confidence, and ultimately become comfortable in my own skin again. I now have a clear understanding of my value and what I deserve, both personally and in relationships.
Her support extended far beyond scheduled sessions. She was consistently available whenever I needed guidance, including during one of the most difficult moments of my life—the passing of my grandmother, who I was closest to in my family. During that time, her presence and support made a significant difference in how I coped and moved forward.
Overall, she didn’t just help me improve mentally but also physically—she helped me become a stronger, more self-aware, and more grounded version of myself. I’m leaving this chapter with a level of clarity, strength, and confidence that I didn’t have before. While this marks the end of our formal work together, the impact she’s had on my life will carry forward in everything I do.
I’m incredibly grateful for the role she played in helping me rebuild and redefine myself.
All the best,
Kyle Kristiansen
