Short answer: No.

Long answer: Unbridled Change was founded on Michelle's belief that we are our own healers. We believe that while working with a skilled practitioner, healing guide/coach, and/or medical professional can be extremely supportive and often a necessary part of our healing path, they are not what "heals" us or is the source of any alleviation of our symptoms.

Unbridled Change, and Michelle, are here to be a Healing Guide and Teacher that can help you meet the different aspects of dis-ease that you are experiencing in a way that fosters healing. Through our support, you can connect with what is present in your life (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) through a lens of the Sacred Witness offering acceptance, love, and seeking understanding.

Michelle knows that the healing power of the Sacred Witness and attuned presence unbridles the body's own innate healing wisdom and helps it have the space and permission it needs to restore functions that create the best environment your own body needs to engage and support your healing.

As a result, many clients share that from working with Unbridled Change and its services they have less discomfort, a reduction of dis-ease, and fewer expressions of inner separations and wars than before, feeling that they can access and create states of inner peace, joy, health, and an overall sense of wellbeing from the inside out.

No, Unbridled Change's services are educational in nature and purpose; therefore, they are not medical advice or treatment and are not covered or billable under insurance. Unbridled Change is an educational-based nonprofit organization that offers healing- and personal growth-based educational information via classes, courses, books, and coaching support only. Any services, teachings, writings, speaking engagements/podcasts, and coaching sessions are for educational purposes only and should NOT be considered medical, financial, or legal advice or treatments. Please consult the medical or health professional of your choice to support those pursuits in addition to working with us.

No, Michelle's general coaching slots are stand-alone session times and are not offered as a recurring time slot or "long term client". You will need to book an appointment each time you would like to work privately with Michelle. The best way to ensure that you have regular sessions and support with Michelle is to enroll in one of our classes, workshops, or small cohort courses, and/or become a member of our online community, Connecting with Joy.

No, Unbridled Change does not offer working student exchanges or other types of exchanges for access to sessions or our programs. We do offer scholarship rates and sliding fees for those with financial circumstances, as funds are available.

For private sessions, to access a scholarship rate you will need to apply for a scholarship by reaching out to us at assistant@UnbridledChange.org for the application. Please note that Michelle and our staff do not have influence over the award of scholarship funds; award decisions and management of the fund lie within the BOD.

Most classes and courses offer different tiers of payment options to support different financial needs. For example, a class will offer a free version, scholarship / student rate, participant rate, and a patron level rate. Each individual can select the payment plan that works best for them and their financial circumstance without an application.

Additionally, there is a LARGE amount of free-to-low-cost resources available to you outside of private coaching sessions or our larger courses. We encourage you to explore our group / small cohorts, classes, workshops, on-demand courses, and our amazing free classes, courses, and other resources. We are committed to offering quality healing and supportive resources to everyone under our mission.

No, everything is energy 🙂 Just like how your cell phone doesn't need to be connected to a physical line to send and receive voices, information, and signals, we do not have to be physically present with each other either. While we LOVE to do in-person work and coaching, it is not necessary. All energy work and intuitive wisdom can happen both in-person and across space and time to support you wherever you are in the world. Additionally, you can receive the same benefits whether you are joining us live for a class or watching it back on a replay; the full amount of healing presence and energy is available to you time after time.

Yes, typically there are no refunds or rescheduling for missed appointments or unused benefits or portions of a class / course.

Online classes, courses, and workshops: All online classes, courses, and workshops are use it or lose it. We do not offer refunds based on you not engaging or utilizing any of the components that are included in any course / class package (this includes using the private sessions, as they do have expiration dates).

Private sessions: We understand that emergencies happen. On a case-by-case basis, if you have an emergency and need to cancel or reschedule a private coaching session, you must give us AT LEAST 3 days' notice. We will do our best to reschedule the appointment if we can; however, we typically do not issue a refund.

Arriving late: We will wait on a call line for a max of 10 minutes. If you do not arrive before that time, you forfeit your session time and are responsible for the full rate of the session. Additionally, your sessions will end at the scheduled time regardless of when you arrive for your session. We will not call to remind you; it is your responsibility to arrive on time for your scheduled session and/or class time.

No-shows and late cancellations: If you are a no call/no show or cancel less than 3 business days before your scheduled time, without notifying us of an emergency circumstance, you will be charged the full rate for the session or, if you pre-paid, no refund will be issued, and we will NOT attempt to reschedule. If you have more than two violations of this policy, Michelle reserves the right to refuse to allow you to book private sessions without pre-paying for the session. Any outstanding balance must be paid in full prior to scheduling another appointment.

Great question 🙂 You just need to be in a quiet space that allows you to speak and potentially move more freely. Given the somatic nature of this work, you will often need to stretch or move as guided. Ideally, the space you select should give you the ability to focus on the conversation that you are having with Michelle AND your body, mind, heart, and soul without distractions. Please refrain from calling while you are driving or in a public space that you do not feel comfortable speaking and moving freely in. Many clients also find it helpful to have a pen and journal handy along with water/beverage available too. We also suggest you bookend your session times with a bit of "space": give yourself 5 minutes before and after a session time or class to be with your system and listen to your inner heart/guidance.

If you are coming to a class or workshop, most of them have self-paced teaching videos available through your online library and course portal to watch before class. If you cannot watch the videos, we understand and still welcome you to the space. However, Michelle might refer you to the material if you have a question that she covers in the videos instead of reteaching it in the live classes, which are designed to deepen and expand on the online videos.
