    Who this is for

    Situations I support

    Hard seasons rarely fit a neat label. These are some of the places people arrive from. If your story looks different, you are still welcome to reach out and see whether coaching fits.

    Grief and loss

    When someone or something important is gone, ordinary days can feel heavier than they look from the outside. Coaching offers a steady place to name what hurts, honor what matters, and take the next small step without rushing your process.

    Relationship upheaval

    Divorce, betrayal, and broken trust rearrange more than a relationship. They can shake identity, routines, and hope. Together we slow the swirl, sort what is true now, and rebuild a clearer footing for what comes next.

    Everyday overwhelm

    Major transitions and the quiet pile-up of daily strain can leave you stretched thin. Coaching helps you notice what is draining you, choose what deserves your energy, and move forward at a pace that feels human.

    If you are ready to talk through what is happening, you can begin with a simple request.

    Her story and approach

    About Michelle

    Michelle Kaminski brings deep lived experience to Steady Change. After entering recovery in 2005, she rebuilt her life through grief, family separation, divorce, betrayal, and leaving a verbally abusive relationship. She understands that starting over rarely happens in a straight line.

    Michelle also spent 13 years working in assisted living as a caregiver, medication technician, and manager, caring for older adults and supporting the teams around them. Today, she offers calm, practical one-to-one coaching for adults navigating difficult seasons and major life changes.

    Her approach begins with listening, making room for what is true, and finding a next step that feels possible. The first introductory conversation is free.

    Careful listening

    Space to say what is true without performing strength or having the answer ready.

    Clearer perspective

    Help sorting what feels tangled so the path forward is easier to see.

    Practical next steps

    Small, grounded actions shaped around your life, not a one-size plan.

    Your pace

    Room to move carefully. Progress does not have to be loud to be real.

    Coaching is supportive partnership, not therapy or medical treatment. If you need clinical care or are in crisis, please reach out to emergency services or a licensed mental health professional.

    Getting started

    How coaching works

    The first conversation is free and gives you room to share what is happening, ask questions, and talk about fit before deciding. We can discuss online or in-person options then, and nothing is locked in when you submit the form.

    1. 01

      Send a request

      Share your name, email, and optional meeting preference. Keep it simple. You do not need to explain your whole story in the form.

    2. 02

      Talk about fit

      The introductory conversation is free. We discuss whether coaching feels right for you right now, and whether online or in person makes more sense. If you prefer to meet in person, we can discuss a place that feels comfortable for you, such as a coffee shop, library, or park.

    3. 03

      Decide together

      There is no pressure to continue. If it feels like a match, we outline next steps. If not, you leave with clearer language for what you need.

    Common questions

    A few things people ask

    Is the introductory conversation free?+

    Yes. The introductory conversation is free and gives us a chance to talk about what you need, answer questions, and discuss whether coaching feels like a fit. The $65 price applies only to a 60-minute coaching session if you decide to continue.

    Can we meet online or in person?+

    Yes. We can discuss online or in-person options during the free introductory conversation. If you prefer to meet in person, we can discuss a meeting place that feels comfortable for you, such as a coffee shop, library, or park. We will discuss those details together rather than list a location here.

    Is coaching the same as therapy?+

    No. Coaching is not mental health treatment, medical care, or crisis support. Therapy addresses clinical needs with licensed professionals. Coaching focuses on listening, perspective, and practical next steps as you navigate a hard season. If you are in immediate danger or need clinical care, please contact emergency services or a qualified mental health provider.

    What if I am not sure where to begin?+

    That is a common place to start. You do not need a polished plan or the right words. An introductory conversation is simply a chance to share what is going on, ask questions, and see whether this support feels useful.

    Accessible support matters

    $65for a 60-minute coaching session

    The introductory conversation is free. The $65 rate applies only to a 60-minute coaching session if you decide to continue.

    Coaching is not therapy or a substitute for licensed mental health care.
