About
MICHELA F. D’ADDARIO
CREATIVE DIRECTOR & MINDSET SPECIALIST
After completing her BA in Psychology, Michela commenced her journey as a practitioner in the mid 80’s, assisting clients who were psychologically distressed as a result of adult and childhood trauma. This gave her a solid grounding and expertise in working with a wide variety of issues and concerns. She witnessed first hand the effects of stress and trauma and the critical importance of self care and a holistic approach in addressing anxiety, depression and relationship conflict.
At the age of 22, Michela also became one of the first women in Australia to teach the psychological and physical aspects of women’s self defence and went on to teach thousands of women and girls in the art of physical, emotional and spiritual assertion and confidence. Martial Arts provided the opportunity to learn about the powerful relationship between thoughts and chi energy and the spiritual importance of expanded awareness.
Michela continued to explore her interest in spirit and movement by completing a four year teaching diploma in Dru Yoga. Her interest in the mind-body connection and it’s role in healing, led her to complete a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage. She has also trained as an ‘Angel Intuitive’ with world renowned psychotherapist and metaphysician Doreen Virtue, PhD., who works with the angelic realms.
Having lived, breathed and slept work, Michela wanted to live a more balanced and fulfilling life – and her dream was to support others to do the same. “In the 90s I moved to London and rediscovered my creativity, passion for life and a completely new way of living… a holistic, dynamic and successful approach that forms the basis for Creative Evolution.”
Her own personal healing and discovery journey also resulted in Michela crossing paths with mentors and healers who inspired her to commit to her emotional, spiritual and creative evolution. She has studied and practiced the Healing Tao, Chi Kung, Buddhism and Zen Buddhism, Goddess Spirituality, Astrology and Numerology, the Chakra System and Metaphysics.
An internationally certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) master coach and trainer, Michela now brings over 21 years experience in successfully assisting clients to achieve their personal and professional goals. Her expertise and unique combination of skills, reflects an extensive knowledge of the healing and creative power of the subconscious and higher self, chi (life force) energy and the mind-body connection. She continues to be at the cutting edge of processes and insights that offer healing integrity and spiritual leadership.
Michela believes any perceived obstacle or issue is an opportunity to get creatively resourceful and dissolve limiting patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. She sees harnessing the power of the subconscious mind, understanding the mind-body connection, enhancing creative intelligence and aligning the higher self as the essential keys to fulfilling success.
The passion and heartfelt commitment to assisting women and men is evident in her coaching and teaching. More than 15,000 people have benefited from Michela’s coaching and workshops. As Michela says…’If you want a better life, change your mind!’
