You know when you want to take action or go into situations that will be good for you, but you feel nervous and a little bit afraid because it's new, it's unknown or it's freakin' bigger than you've ever tried before?

It's hard because you're trying to push yourself, but at the same time you're fighting against those voices in your head telling you that it won't work, things will go wrong, you're not good enough, you're not worth it, others will judge you, you should just quit... It's like having Negative Nelly yakking at your ear while you're trying to concentrate!

And it's even worse when you're overwhelmed! Those voices drown out everything else, leaving you unable to move forward.

So I help people release the unconscious blocks that feed these voices. Then they're able to focus all their energies on moving forward. They become more confident and inspired to take action, they make much faster progress, and they achieve their goals with comfort and ease.

Hello, My name is Michelle Skalnik and I'm living the life I love, here in the South of France.

We are surrounded by nature, we have access to cultural events like concerts and theatre, we have fresh food that’s grown within a 2-hour radius, there’s affordable travel options to neighboring countries, and we spend long lazy days sitting at our favorite café in town.

I have the freedom to try new things and pursue my passions like hosting a tour of the neighboring villages, joining a dance class, learning to cook new dishes.

I am discovering who I am in deeper ways. I am no longer lost after spending years conforming to the image that I projected to the world. And I am falling in love with my own uniqueness.

But to get here, I had to develop this technique because I had to make freakin' big leaps and do things I've never done before:

Quit my 27-year career in corporate.
Leave everything and move to a country where we barely knew anyone.
Build a new life by intentionally choosing what we want, not what everyone else is doing.

The Release! Method helped me overcome my self doubts, continually improve, and keep choosing the life I want.

It's a combination of techniques I learned from the IAC coaching masteries, Evolving Wisdom transformational coaching, HeartMath, EFT, Emotion Code, Psych-K, and different programs I joined for self improvement and spiritual growth. I've used it to help almost a hundred clients feel better and take action.

Release! Your Blocks and Step into Possibility

When you Release! your emotional and energetic blocks, changes such as these women experienced come naturally.

She was overworked and close to burnout as a volunteer board member in an international organization. Two weeks after our session, she was glowing with joy and engaging in activities that she loved. She can now set aside work without anxiety and any second thoughts.
For 4 years, she wanted to build her dream life but couldn’t seem to get started. Two months after our first session, she sold one of her businesses and gave herself more time and space (and less stress) to explore options towards setting up her retreat center in a Caribbean island.
For 7 years she was riddled with self-doubt about her abilities as a professional and as a person. Her anxiety level caused by a toxic situation at work was as high as it was years ago. A week after releasing the emotional memory in our session, she has found the confidence to start going after what she wants again.
All her life she has been unable to ask for help, finding it easier to give than to receive from others. She hated being a burden to her loved ones. She had a deep aversion to feeling beholden to others. At our session, we uncovered and released a painful childhood memory that has kept her stuck. In the 4 weeks that followed, she increased her productivity and started enjoying her life by asking for help from her friends, family, colleagues and staff at work. She has now retired and is enjoying building a practice that will help other women break free from their own inner stories.
She was in a toxic relationship for 2 years. She invested 25 years of her life and can’t seem to let go. The weekend after our session, she called a lawyer and finally took steps to end it.

I would love to help you Release any blocks:

keeping you from taking action,

making you uncomfortable in certain situations,

holding you back from reaching your goals,

or attracting repeating negative patterns in your life

What Clients Say

"Before my first session with Michelle, I felt stuck. I had exciting goals but something kept me from moving toward them with confidence. Honestly, I was hesitant. I’ve worked with other coaches and healers before. They were great, but the shifts never really lasted. Still, there was something about Michelle that felt different, so I decided to give it a try.

In just one session, she also helped me uncover two major emotional blocks and the limiting beliefs tied to them. The exercises she guided me through were incredible—I actually felt a real energetic shift. It was powerful and undeniable. Before our session, I was nervous about posting on social media. I knew I had to share my work but kept feeling anxious about it. After the session, I felt confident and even inspired to write more authentic posts. I was no longer afraid of what others would think. I now feel more comfortable posting as my true self.

Now, Michelle is my go-to coach whenever I feel stuck or need to clear what’s holding me back. I highly recommend her!!"

-- Virginia, Professor and Business Owner, Canada

"Before my session with Michelle, I wasn’t struggling with anything specific, but there was a kind of fog I couldn’t shake. I knew I wasn’t seeing things clearly. I felt unfocused, uncertain where my energy was getting stuck or what needed to shift. I was curious but also a bit unsure about what exactly would come up. I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and development, so part of me wondered if one session could really make a difference. However, I’d heard wonderful things about her Release sessions and felt drawn to her calm, grounded presence. Something in me trusted that this was the right moment to try it.

During the session, Michelle guided me with such care and intuition. She didn’t rush to fix anything. She took time to explore what was really underneath. Together we found the deeper block, and once we reached it, the release felt profound. The whole process was gentle yet deeply moving.

After the session, the biggest surprise was how much kept shifting in the days that followed. It was as if new clarity kept emerging on its own. I could finally see where to focus my energy and what strategic choices I needed to make for myself and my business. I felt lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

It was surprising how powerful simplicity can be. There was no forcing and no effort, just space to let what was ready to move finally move. That hour created a level of clarity and ease I hadn’t felt in a long time."

-- Serena, Executive Coach, Portugal

"Michelle is an extraordinary coach who seamlessly blends emotional and energetic healing with practical guidance. Her ability to genuinely connect, intuitively understand, and compassionately guide is rare. She intuitively identified and helped me release deeply rooted emotional blockages, significantly shifting my mindset. This emotional clearing left me feeling lighter, more open to positivity and abundance, and empowered me to clearly define my career and personal goals with intention."

-- Kelly, Senior Project Manager, Canada

"With her deep listening skills, her flashes of inspiration as she gently guides the coaching conversation is remarkable. The result: seemingly magical breakthroughs!"

-- Helena, Medical Doctor and Clinic Founder, Australia

"I love how Mich is able to see and mirror me. In the session, she was focused on understanding me, allowing her to see things I did not previously realize and affirm things I am doubting. Compared to previous therapy sessions I had I felt more connection with Mich. "

-- Jennifer, Technology Head for Asia

"Her sessions are well structured and her guidance is helping me move forward and go beyond my personal blocks and issues. She knows how to guide me in questioning myself in a supportive way and in discovering new opportunities for my future. "
