About Adele Michal, Your Midlife Midwife

From a young age Adele Michal has been fascinated with how a person’s beliefs, attitudes, and environment  influence how she realizes her potential.  Adele began reading self-help books at 16, studied Religion and Psychology in college, and earned an MA in Counseling Psychology in search of answers to her quest.

Determined to understand how to supplant limiting beliefs with encouraging ones, Adele continued reading, exploring, and began taking personal growth courses. Her breakthrough came in 1993 when she discovered how to communicate with the Subconscious Mind in a Hypnosis Training Class. What she learned there answered her question of “how can I help myself and others know and realize our greatest potential?”

This breakthrough led Adele on a journey of finding, mastering, and applying the most transformative skills and technologies available. (A listing of the courses and technologies she has studied appears below.)  In 1993 she began a private practice of hypnotherapy and peak performance training. For 12 years she successfully helped children, adults, and athletes attain their goals at school, at work, in relationships, and on the playing field.

In 2005 Adele shifted her focus from hypnotherapy to coaching women entrepreneurs and specifically those making major transitions in midlife. She helps her clients eliminate limiting beliefs so that they enjoy greater profitability, productivity, and fulfillment.  She finds that positive results for her clients are coming faster and more easily now than ever before.

Adele’s ability to help women entrepreneurs realize their potential stems not only from her formal education, training, and expertise, but also from first-hand experience managing a small business and professional practice.  She practiced as an independent coach and therapist in Atlanta, GA, where she helped clients with life design, relationship skills, and emotional balance. Even during her earliest work as a researcher and writer for CBS News’s Universe with Walter Cronkite, directing corporate videos for AT&T, and marketing a family-owned real estate company, she balanced the demands of creative output with business management, marketing, and development.

A native North Carolinian, now living in Chapel Hill, Adele particularly enjoys the area’s rich natural beauty, artistic community, and collegiate basketball rivalries. 

Today she asks, "What potential wants to be realized from your gifts, passion, and experience?" to help her clients create more of what they really want in business and life.
