Transform Your Life with Heart & Purpose

Discover your true essence, break through limitations, and rise into the best version of yourself with personalized guidance and coaching

Hi, I’m Michelle

I’m a Costa Rican wife, mom, and certified life coach passionate about helping people live with purpose and authenticity. My mission is to walk alongside you with empathy, openness and no judgment, to help you connect with your strengths and release your fears.

For over nine years, I’ve helped individuals discover their potential, recognize their worth, and turn their inspirations into reality. I invite you to take the first step toward creating the life you desire and deserve.

"Everything that you do with your heart, makes a difference."

This guiding belief is at the core of everything I do. Whether it’s walking with you on your journey of transformation or helping you rediscover your true essence, I approach each moment with heart, empathy, and purpose. Together, we can create meaningful change that resonates deeply in your life.

About Elevate U

Elevate U was born from my heart, inspired by the transformative power of coaching and personal growth. My approach to life coaching is rooted in the belief that nature mirrors our true essence—free, powerful, and beautifully unique. Living in a land of rich natural diversity, I draw inspiration from the wisdom of nature to guide you back to yourself. What sets me apart is my ability to use symbols and metaphors from nature, making self-discovery feel intuitive and deeply personal. Just as a tree stands tall despite the storms or a river flows effortlessly toward its path, you too carry an innate wisdom waiting to be remembered. Through gentle guidance, I help you reconnect with your inner voice, unlock your natural strengths, and embrace the beauty of who you truly are. When we align with nature, we align with ourselves—allowing confidence, clarity, and authentic communication to flow with ease.

During my journey as a coach, I’ve guided people to rediscover their hidden strengths and overcome limitations, especially during challenging times. Transformation starts from within, and I am here to encourage you toward the light of your own potential.

This is your moment to rise, grow, and shine. Let’s embark on this journey together!

My Philosophy

Part of what makes my coaching unique is the use of symbols to create deeper connections and understanding.

The Infinity Symbol

Your Limitless Potential

Transformation has no limits. Growth is a lifelong journey, and you are capable of evolving at your own pace. There are infinite possibilities to love, serve, and step into your full potential. Through my coaching, I will guide you beyond what you thought possible, helping you rise, thrive, and shine—without limits!

The Butterfly

A Symbol of Your Growth

Like the butterfly, you are meant to evolve. Each stage of your life has shaped you into who you are today. Just as no two butterflies are the same, you are unique—born to shine in your own way. The key? Discovering and using your own "wings" to elevate U towards the life you desire.

The Sunflower

Finding Light, Even on Cloudy Days

Nature teaches us powerful lessons, and the sunflower is one of them. It turns toward the sun for energy, but when the sky is cloudy, it comes face to face with each other to draw strength. We, too, can uplift each other in challenging times, following the sunflowers’ example. Imagine a life where you are constantly surrounded by encouragement, support, and light—this is the power of connection.

  • Lisa

    “Whenever I think of Michelle, I think of a person who was born to help others. Her method of coaching is gracious.

  • Nayarit

    “The coaching process with Michelle has helped me understand that many of my behaviors and thoughts were automatic responses to limiting beliefs imposed by past experiences. Through the sessions, I have seen many positive changes, such as better organization, control, boundary setting, and most importantly, understanding that peace and tranquility are non-negotiable. It has undoubtedly improved my family and work environment, and in each session, I can see how, with Michelle's help, I am progressing toward a better quality of life.

    I am truly grateful and excited about the process.”
