NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Michelle Garcia

I’m a Life Transition Coach and mama of two — and I know firsthand how motherhood changes everything, including who you are.

I’ve been there: crying daily, so anxious I was throwing up, overwhelmed, touched out, and questioning every choice I had ever made. I felt disconnected and angry, wondering who I even was anymore.

That fog is real. And like every true transformation, it comes with its share of hurdles. My mission is to walk beside you through that fog — helping you cut through the noise, reconnect with yourself, and rise into motherhood with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. 🌱

From Fog to Freedom

When I became a mom, my identity shattered.

Eight weeks postpartum, I was back at work — still healing, crying daily, and so anxious I was throwing up constantly. I felt a love for my baby that I had never experienced before… but at the same time, it felt like he was drawing the life out of me. That tension broke me.

My rock bottom came the day I snapped at my son and ran outside sobbing, thinking he’s going to hate me, because I hate me right now. That was my wake-up call.

I realized I couldn’t keep living that way. No more blaming my partner, my parents, or my circumstances. The change had to start with me.

So I found a doctor who supported my healing, dove into mindfulness and meditation, and eventually trained as an ICF-certified coach. Piece by piece, I rebuilt myself. I became steadier, more present, and I learned how to talk to my son about our feelings. That shift didn’t just change my motherhood — it taught me what I needed to heal in myself so I could show up as a better mom, person, and friend.

That season of fog became the foundation for the ACRE Framework — a path that helps mamas move from Awareness to Connection, Regulation, and Expansion.

And here’s the truth: it’s still a work in progress. 🌱 But the more I learned to care for myself, the more I could show up fully — not just as a mom, but as the person I was always meant to be.

Now, I walk alongside other mamas on this journey, helping them reconnect with themselves and step into motherhood with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Coaching + Credentials

Today, I’m a Life Transition Coach, currently completing my ICF ACC certification. I’ve trained with ICF instructor Dr. Shiny Ursal in her NeuroShine Technology® program — a blend of coaching mastery and NLP — and I bring in my own mix of intuitive coaching, mindfulness, somatic work, and breathwork practices.

Out of my own journey, I created the ACRE Framework — a step-by-step process to help mamas move from emotional fog to clarity, confidence, and connection.

Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of:
🌿 Supporting women 1:1 as they navigate motherhood identity shifts — helping them feel lighter, clearer, and more like themselves again.
🌿 Creating the free guide Name the Noise Within, which has already given mamas words for what they’ve been silently carrying.
🌿 Developing the Motherhood Reset Toolkit — a resource designed to help mamas take their first small steps out of the fog with practical tools they can use right away.

I believe coaching isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about walking beside you, equipping you with tools that fit into real life, and guiding you back to the woman and mama you were always meant to be. 

That’s why I created the Motherhood Reset Toolkit — to give you a starting point you can lean on right now

Why I Do This

I believe motherhood isn’t where your story ends — it’s where a new chapter begins.

My mission is simple:
I help mamas move through the fog of motherhood and reclaim their sense of self — so they can feel grounded, confident, and at home in who they are.

Because when a mama feels rooted in herself, that light ripples into her family, her community, and the world.

Your Next Step

If you’ve been nodding along to my story, feeling the fog in your own life — you don’t have to walk through it alone.

That’s why I created the Motherhood Reset Toolkit — a simple, supportive starting point to help you begin clearing the fog, reconnecting with yourself, and stepping into motherhood with more clarity and confidence. 🌱
