Holistic Transformational Coach, Well-being Advocate, Speaker, and Author of Awaken the B.E.A.U.T.Y Within
I’m Michelle Peña—coach, guide, and steadfast advocate for women’s inner worlds!
My work lives at the intersection of psychology and soul, evidence based practices and intuitive wisdom—where emotional insight meets embodied healing.
I don’t simply coach;
I create spaces for deep transformation—where the exhaustion, over-giving, and emotional weight you've carried can finally begin to loosen.
Where you are gently guided back home to yourself.
I specialize in helping women who carry so much on their shoulders— the nurturers, the does, the pleasers, the ones who hold space for everyone else—reconnect with their own care in sustainable and meaningful ways.
My work is grounded in over two decades of experience in psychology, social work, and the healing arts, alongside my own lived journey of burnout, emotional fatigue, and rediscovering the wisdom of my sensitive, empathic nature.
I work privately with clients, lead intimate healing circles, and create self-healing resources that help women rebuild trust in their own voice, rhythms, and needs—fostering clarity, capacity, and lasting self-care.
The Heart of my Work
The heart of my work is guided by these principles:
✧ No Judgment
Healing starts when we stop trying to make parts of ourselves wrong. In my work, we welcome every feeling, every story, and every response without needing to label it good or bad. When judgment falls away, what’s left is space—space to listen, space to soften, and space for something new to emerge.
✧ Whole-Person Integration
You are more than your thoughts, behaviors, or past experiences. Your healing deserves to touch your mind, body, spirit, emotions, and energy. I create spaces where your full self is honored, engaged, and supported.
✧ Collaboration
You are not a project to be fixed—you are a partner in your own healing. I walk alongside you, respecting your insight, intuition, and lived experience. Together, we shape a path that feels authentic to you.
✧ Reconnection Through Respectful Pace
Deep healing happens at the pace your body and nervous system can trust. This work is about creating safety, building self-trust, expanding your capacity for your own care, and supporting you to move forward in sustainable, life-affirming ways.
