Wellness Coach - Michelle Sigmann
U10 - U13

As a wife, and a mom of two I understand the struggle of learning to balance life. Professionally I am a Principal and a Certified Wellness Coach. I work with both adults and kids to create healthy habits that reflect their goals and visions. Although life keeps me busy, I live every day motivated to help people make changes in their lives by altering their daily habits in order to make better decisions for their mental health and well being. As a former Canadian Barefoot Waterskier that skied for Canada’s National Team, I know first hand the dedication and commitment it takes to creating habits in order to achieve your true potential. When you are committed to yourself and are fueled by each step you take, you will make change and will be inspired by every new door that opens.

Through the practice of training our conscious mind and building consistent habits I work with groups of people and individuals to learn a variety of step by step approaches to building impactful and meaningful habits that can transform the way you work, live and make decisions. I run workshops, coach 1:1 for transformations, have built a wellness curriculum for administrators in education, I run projects connected to goal setting, habits and connecting with your mind, and am currently working with young athletes to learn about the importance of training outside of their sport; coaching their minds and their bodies. Transformation means commitment but it also means believing in yourself.
