Michelle Scolaro

Therapist and Transformational Coach

Michelle Scolaro is a Therapist, Transformational Coach, and Retreat Leader with over 20 years of experience helping high-achieving women recover from burnout and reconnect with themselves. Her work is grounded in the belief that self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity—and that self-trust is the foundation of a fully expressed life. She helps women stop abandoning themselves and start living in alignment with who they are and what they truly want.

Clients often come to Michelle feeling anxious, depleted, and not where they “should” be in life, despite outward success. Through her work, they develop the clarity, self-compassion, and internal trust needed to move forward with confidence and authenticity. Her approach blends clinical therapy with transformational coaching to address the deeper patterns that drive burnout and disconnection.

Her own experience of burnout and recovery shapes her work, deepening her commitment to helping women reconnect with themselves and return to a more grounded, self-trusting way of living.

Michelle is the founder of Created Life Consulting, a name that reflects her belief that we can live a life of our own creation. She is also the creator of Thrive In Paradise Retreats, immersive experiences designed to support nervous system reset, emotional release, and reconnection in a deeply supportive environment. She writes Field Notes on Self-Trust, where she shares reflections on coming home to yourself and living in alignment with your truth.

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Arts in Psychology and training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Her work has been featured in Viazara Retreats Magazine, and she has been interviewed on podcasts including Time To Elevate. Michelle is also a Founding Member of Tirtha, a sanctuary for women in leadership, and a graduate of the Landmark Training Academy in Leading Fundamentals, where she served as a former Event Leader.
