Hey there!
I'm Dr. Michelle Walter
I’ve known as long as I could remember that I was an introvert.
​
I recall hiding behind my parents’ legs as a small child when meeting someone new and avoiding being called on at all costs at school.
​
I thought that my introversion just meant that I was quiet and didn’t like big groups of people.
​​
I went through undergrad and medical school. I completed residency (combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics), fellowship (Hospice and Palliative Medicine) and working as an academic physician practicing Palliative Medicine at a cancer center.
​
After fellowship I became a mom to twins.
​
I was ALWAYS exhausted.
That's just how it is when you are a working mom? Right?
​
I'm here to help other introverted professionals find their energy again
​​I felt like something was wrong with me.
I was hard on myself that I wasn’t measuring up to what I was supposed to be- Superwoman capable of DOINGALLTHETHINGS and loving every second of it.
​
There were times when I came home from work, and didn’t want to be around my family. Because they needed me, just like my patients needed me, and my team needed me.
And I NEEDED TO NOT BE NEEDED.
There were times when I would crash on the couch, literally a zombie.
​
And then I realized.
I wasn’t giving myself any time to recharge, reflect, relax.​​
​
So I found coaching. It opened my eyes to new perspectives. To what I was really doing to myself.​ And I realized that I needed to make a change.​
​​​
So I completed a coaching certification course and started MiraVista Coaching.
​
To help you avoid the mistakes I made
To help you take care of yourself
To help you find your energy again​​​
