About Coach Michelle
I am a Wife and a Mom of Two and a Dog Mom. I have always had a love for movement and activity. Growing up, I enjoyed being active, but my true passion for strength began when I found powerlifting. What started as a personal challenge quickly became a lifestyle- and a calling. I am so happy to be back home at the Mill again!
My Turning Point
My turning point came when I first competed in a powerlifitng meet. The energy, nerves, and sense of accomplishment from pushing past my limits showed me how transformative this sport can be. I realized strength is not just physical- it's about mental toughness, self-belief, and the courage to face challenges head-on.
My Motivation
My biggest motivation is seeing others achieve what they once thought was impossible. Watching lifters hit PR's, gain confidence, and develop resilience fuels my love for coaching. I am especially passionate about growing the presence of Women in powerlifting. I believe every woman deserves the chance to experience the empowerment that comes from lifting heavy and finding strength they never knew they had! For me, coaching is more than training; it's about showing people that strength changes lives inside and outside of the gym!
