Coaching Testimonials

Every coaching journey is unique. Some clients come to me seeking clarity on a single decision; others embark on a transformative path toward leadership mastery. What unites them is the courage to invest in their own growth. Here, I’m honored to share their experiences — in their own words — of what it means to partner with a coach who believes the answers are already within you.

Working with Michaela has been a truly transformative experience. Through her thoughtful questions, active listening, and genuine empathy, she helped me gain greater self-awareness, clarity of priorities, and confidence in how I communicate and lead both professionally and personally. Michaela created a safe and inspiring space for reflection during a period of big changes in my life. Her guidance helped me find clarity, balance, and confidence, turning uncertainty into growth and challenge into purpose. I'm deeply grateful for her support and the positive impact this journey has had on my life.

When I first started working with Gutmore, my main goal was to improve my health and build more balanced habits. I am happy to say that I achieved that. But what truly surprised me was the impact of Michaela’s coaching. Our sessions helped me clarify my goals, rethink priorities and develop a deeper awareness of how I react, decide and show up. Michaela coaches with a rare combination of empathy, structure and intuition, always asking the questions that genuinely moved me forward. I feel I’ve gained emotional clarity, stronger focus and a greater ability to care for myself across all dimensions of my life. Michaela didn’t just support me, she empowered me. I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching to anyone who is seeking meaningful, conscious and lasting transformation.

Uplifting and Enjoyable Progress Toward My Goal I reached out to Michaela for support with an issue I believed I already understood completely, so much so that I thought no one could really help me anymore. I soon discovered that wasn’t true at all. Through her thoughtful and well-placed questions, Michaela encouraged me to reflect in new ways. I uncovered behaviors and beliefs underlying my challenge that touched many areas of my life. As a result, I realized this was actually a larger life theme for me, not just the specific behavioral change I had been aiming for. She guided me through this discovery with a warm, uplifting manner that made the process genuinely enjoyable. Michaela then helped me develop solutions I could pursue with enthusiasm. I remember finishing each coaching session full of positive energy and motivation to work on my topics. The entire coaching process was therefore extremely successful for me. I also want to highlight how pleasantly Michaela organized our sessions. She adapted scheduling and pacing to my needs and always sent timely, friendly reminders — something especially helpful since our meetings were irregular. I am deeply grateful for this successful coaching and want to emphasize: With Michaela, changing behavior, growing personally, and achieving goals is not only effective — it’s fun!

Holistic Health Consultancy

When people take control of their health, everything changes — their energy, their focus, their capacity to lead and create. These stories reflect the journeys of clients who chose to prioritize their wellbeing alongside their ambitions. From optimizing nutrition to understanding the gut-brain connection, each path is personal. I’m grateful they’ve allowed me to share a glimpse of their transformation.

I found the program (from the evaluation of one's lifestyle and diet to the result of the gut microbiome analysis) to be very informative and interesting. ‍ Analysis kit and personal diary are easy to understand and easy to use. The documents that you receive reliably after each appointment are ingenious and help as a great reference work when the weaker self strikes and you no longer take one or the other tip into account. ‍ It was also helpful that Michaela, for example, addressed my skin problems and offered me suggestions for improvement. I can only recommend the program because you consciously deal with yourself (nutrition, work-life balance, stress) and get individual analyses, nutrition tips and recipe suggestions. The implementation makes me feel fitter and I don't fall tired on the couch after a full day's work. ‍ Finally, I would like to mention that you, dear Michaela, not only treated me very professionally, but also very friendly and appreciatively. I felt comfortable and taken seriously."

"Michaela's program offers insight on so many levels, and she is able to connect how all interact with each other. From the emotional to the physical, it offers clarity and solutions to improve both aspects. Her authentic consideration takes the program to the next level, she listens with interest and offers solutions that would best fit you. ‍ It is well structured and complete, and Michaela takes the time to explain everything and is involved every step of the way. Her sincere desire for your well being is admiral and ultimately the most valuable part of the program. ‍ I recommend Gutmore, a fantastic program, and I applaud Michaela, a fantastic person!"

"Diet and weight have been part of my life for a long time, digestive problems too. I've been on several diets. They worked, but it was always difficult to maintain the weight afterwards. With the program of Gutmore, I learned step by step what my gut needs, how to eat healthily over the long term and how to find a good rhythm in my life. I can make better use of my strengths and overall feel more comfortable in and with my body."
