Michelle (Kahmeyer) Gabbe, PhD

As a businessperson and mother of 2, I am passionate about helping people create the life of their dreams. Having spent the better part of my adult life in a state of chronic unease and discomfort, suppressing my real interests, I am particularly tuned in to working with those who feel stuck in a prison of their own making.  

 
Having left the molecular biological research field many years ago, I've long wondered what led me to earn a doctorate in that field in the first place, but now it seems clear – I have always wanted to get to the source, to understand the how’s and why’s of what we do at a very deep level. When I left research for a career in the health science publishing industry, I discovered my natural managerial style: coaching. Then, as so often happens in large organizations, good performance in one area led to a promotion that catapulted me right out of my flow. I went from feeling motivated and challenged, to dreading every moment in the office.

When a friend or client is suffering with something intolerable, I often ask them “Would you advise a loved one to stay mired in this situation?” Their typical answer: “Absolutely not!” When I put that same question to myself, I knew it was time to devote my life to the pursuit of programs that help people create meaningful, enjoyable lives for themselves.

What I most enjoy is helping people let go of the self-limiting beliefs that hold them back in life – those inner dialogues that tell us we can never get beyond:

ü          Performance and public speaking anxiety

ü          Work stress and dissatisfaction

ü          Chronic procrastination

What does 'guided energy' have to do with coaching? Without delving into quantum theory (not that I could, really!), all of us are energetic entities influenced by the vibrations created by our thoughts, emotions and actions. In addition to being a coach, I am a certified practitioner of an energy meridian technique called EFT. Tools that help uncover subconscious self-sabotage (e.g. EFT, TAT, TFT, guided visualization and others) allow us to experience fast, sustainable, mental and physical changes that help us find the resources to step into newfound freedom. You've probably experienced the exhilaration of a high-energy buzz, or the draining power of an emotional letdown, but did you know that you can control your energy, in any situation? People who are interested in rapidly accelerating their progress will choose to apply one or more of these tools in some of our coaching sessions.

Most clients prefer to schedule 1-hour sessions every one to two weeks. I reside primarily in Hong Kong, and visit my home in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii several times a year.
