Since 2009, Michaela has served as a creative coach and mentor for artists navigating the intersection of technical mastery and emotional depth. Her academic background - spanning jazz performance, social inquiry, and depth psychology - transforms her mentorship into a study of what it is to be human, focusing on the technical, the mental, and the emotional.
A featured faculty member at the legendary The Song School at Planet Bluegrass, and The Americana Song Academy at Sisters Folk Fest, Michaela is a published author with 3 instructional books published by Mel Bay Publications. She is dedicated to bridging the gap between technical skill and profound storytelling.
Through her exclusive 1:1 songwriting coaching, she guides artists toward a more assured, authentic creative life.
