Client Testimonials
Real stories from clients who found peace of mind.
“
Before working with Michelle, I was always winging it with my finances — doing my best, but never fully confident I wasn’t missing something important.
Having her as a trusted second set of eyes has completely changed that. For the first time, I feel calm, organized, and truly supported on the business side of my work. Michelle helped me create structure where there was none, which lets me focus more on the creative side — the part my clients come to me for.
​
She’s helped me take the emotion out of billing, think about long-term goals like saving and investing, and start charging what’s fair. What stands out most is her warmth and patience — she’s not just managing numbers; she’s helping me grow as a business owner.”

“Working with Michelle has been a rewarding experience both personally and professionally. She treats your business as her own — ensuring you’re protected, organized, and seeing the full picture before making big decisions.
Her guidance brings clarity, empathy, and perspective to every stage of growth, balancing the financial, practical, and human sides of leadership. What I value most is her genuine care; she celebrates your wins, feels your frustrations, and works alongside you to find better ways forward. Because of her, I lead with more focus, confidence, and integrity.”

“There are people who quietly change everything. Michelle is one of them.
The Human Leadership Institute wouldn’t be what it is without her steady hand and brilliant mind guiding the financial and business side of it all. She is calm in the storm, the logic in the chaos, and the trusted voice that brings me back to center when I start to spin too many plates.
She doesn’t just manage numbers; she manages the heartbeat of what allows me to bring this work into the world. And not just the business — personally, she has helped us navigate major decisions and directions.
Because of her and her team at POM, I can dream freely, create fully, and lead with clarity knowing that every detail is cared for. She sees the whole picture, even when I’m lost in the vision, and somehow helps bring clarity, turning ideas into something tangible and sustainable.
Our partnership has changed the way I lead — no longer from scarcity or stress, but from trust, abundance, and gratitude. Michelle is, quite simply, the quiet force that makes all of it possible. I will be forever grateful for the partnership that has become a true friendship.”

“Working with Michelle and Peace of Mind has given me a sense of confidence and calm I never thought possible.
Before, managing my finances was filled with anxiety and self-blame — now, it feels like an area of trust, clarity, and steadiness. Michelle’s guidance has been a huge part of that shift, helping me not only change my relationship with money but also supporting me through major transitions — from leaving my job to building my own agency, which is thriving thanks to her partnership.
She brings structure without rigidity, professionalism with genuine care, and an ability to translate complex things into simplicity and calm. The trust we’ve built has allowed me to focus on what I do best, knowing that both the heart and the numbers are in good hands.”
