Testimonials
Changes that are deep and meaningful
I cannot thank you enough for the amazing winter retreat we had. I’ve done dozens of weekends with different human potential programs, and life always seemed to chew up the breakthroughs afterward, which is to be expected I guess.
This time, the changes are deep and meaningful. Life looks very different to me in the best kind of way. I always lose mental and emotional baggage, but this time, I left a loaded steamer trunk behind me, and I can easily flow into a happy meditative state at almost any time.

Attracting new clients
Caitriona has helped me navigate some extremely challenging business situations. I had some issues that could easily have derailed me moving forward in my business, and because of the work we did I was able to stay on task. I feel a contagious sense of peace and ease that is actually attracting new clients.

Awakening to fullness of being
I am grateful beyond words for the remarkable work of Caitríona and Michele. No spiritual teachers I know bring a broader, more relevant range of knowledge, experience, and well-honed skills for awakening us to fullness of being. While thoroughly schooled in ancient traditions, their work is fresh and bold, igniting both courage and joy for meeting the challenges of today’s world. For over a decade my own life and teaching has been enriched by their adventurous creativity and passionate respect for life.

There’s no greater resource for putting your incredible mind to work for you.
If you’re tired of sabotaging your big dreams and subtly (or nor so subtly) blocking your own way forward, Caitriona and Michele are the people you need to see. They have tools, unlike any other I know, to ‘re-wire’ your automatic thinking, to help you get more of what you want in a way that positively impacts your business, your life, and the difference you can make for others. There’s no greater resource for putting your incredible mind to work for you.

My work with Michele was extraordinary! I am more alive and connected to my life and work, and more confident of my creative capacity, than I ever dreamed was possible.

I had the honor of serving as Caitriona’s coach for over two years and now SHE is coaching ME! I chose Caitriona because her command of the tools and perspectives she teaches and embodies is brilliant! She is poetry in motion! Caitriona’s ability to teach is exquisite. I learn multitudes from her in each session. I couldn’t recommend Caitriona as a coach, trainer, and teacher more highly!

In my 23 years of personal and professional development work, I have been extremely fortunate to have seen some of the greatest motivational speakers of our time. I can honestly say that Caitriona is by far one of the most captivating, entertaining, engaging and inspiring speakers and storytellers on the circuit today. She has an amazing knack for blending the breadth of her experience with the depth of her knowledge in a relaxed, easy-to-understand delivery. She’s hip, funny, dynamic and has her finger on the pulse of today’s current trends. Her work is not only inspiring but life-changing. I personally experienced a fundamental shift in my thinking in just minutes! If you are looking for a speaker for your staff, clients or community, Caitriona is the speaker for you!

I’m truly happy to be alive. That biggest proof I can offer as to how effective Michele is can be seen by the fact that I am alive. For many years I lived in a state of such severe depression that I often wanted to end my life. These days, I’m truly happy to be alive, and my life is rich and full of new goals and plans.

Only people who have owned their dark nights, and really looked into their sadness, shame and anger, can create the space for TRUE tangible acceptance like you two amazing souls have done. I have been in this ‘self-help-transformation’ business for over twenty years and you are up there with the very best. Thank you for all the beauty you have co-created with the universe.
