Michele Schalin — Life Coaching in Austin, TX

About Michele

Michele Schalin is a Mental Fitness Coach, author of Mindful Metamorphosis, and creator of transformative programs based in Austin, Texas. With over 30 years of experience studying the mind-body-spirit connection, she helps individuals and organizations manage stress, process emotions, and reprogram limiting beliefs through a blend of neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence practices.

Drawing from her own journey through chronic anxiety, depression, workaholism, and emotional trauma, Michele developed a deeply personal and empathic approach to healing. Her path led her to mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, brain training, and plant medicines — tools that catalyzed her own profound transformation. She has worked with recovery programs for over 26 years as a mentor, speaker, and workshop facilitator.

Michele's holistic methodology integrates the mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic dimensions of her clients' lives. Whether working one-on-one or with corporate teams, her mission is to help people awaken their inner strength, regulate their nervous systems, and live more consciously connected lives.
