Michelle Gauthier — Life Coaching in St. Louis, MO

About Michelle

Michelle Gauthier is a life coach based in St. Louis, MO who specializes in working with executive and high-achieving women who feel stretched thin, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of overwhelm. She helps her clients move from reactive and frantic to calm, intentional, and in control — without giving up their ambition.

She came to coaching after living it herself. A former corporate professional with 20+ years in business, she was juggling a demanding career, raising two kids, and trying to be everything to everyone when she heard a life coach on a podcast and knew it was her calling. She trained under Martha Beck, a Harvard PhD and Oprah contributor, and launched her practice in 2017.

Michelle's approach is practical and grounded — focused on identifying the thoughts driving the overwhelm, building real boundaries, and creating sustainable habits. She also hosts "Overwhelmed Working Woman," a podcast ranked in the top 1.5% globally, where she shares tools for high achievers navigating work and home life.

What Clients Say

★★★★★

"Working with Michelle has been the biggest and deepest breath of fresh air. Her coaching style is nurturing and supportive while pushing me beyond my excuses and fear. She coached me through one of my most challenging career situations when I didn't see a way out. The anxiety and overwhelm simply felt like too much. Michelle coaches with compassion, support, and most importantly for me, real talk. She helped me to create radical change that I didn't think was possible. I know I couldn't have gotten through this without her. I am forever grateful to have found Michelle's work."

Carrie

★★★★★

"I'm so thankful to Michelle for bringing calm into my crazy world and showing me I'm capable of changes. She taught me to say 'no' to things in my business so that I can say 'yes' to my kids. She taught me to plan and organize, and helped my life and home have less clutter. She is an amazing life coach and person."

Helen

"Before coaching with Michelle, I felt guilty all the time and constantly struggled to set boundaries. Now, I've let go of that guilt, learned how to manage my mind, and feel in control of my life."
