Meet Coach Michelle

MD Fit For Life was born from my journey. After more than 20 years in the dental profession, I knew firsthand what a demanding career could do to the body — the aches, stiffness, and physical and mental strain. It made me realize that taking care of my body couldn't be something I waited to do; it had to become part of how I lived.

My weight-loss journey and the adversity I've faced taught me something deeper: STRENGTH ISN'T JUST PHYSICAL. It's built through the challenges we face, the choices we make every day, and the decision to keep showing up for yourself. Those experiences shaped the way I coach today.

For the past four years, I've worked as a health and wellness coach, helping people build strength, improve movement, and create healthier, more sustainable lives so the changes actually stick. My training includes sports performance, corrective exercise, strength training, TRX suspension training, Kettlebell Functional Training, Animal Flow Level 1, nutritional guidance, lifestyle coaching, and movement and body screening. I'm also a certified spinning instructor — because if you know me, you know cycling is near and dear to my heart.

But MD Fit is about more than certifications. It's about helping people understand their bodies in all phases of life, teaching movement literacy so you can move with purpose and intention — the foundational building blocks for the life you want to live.

That philosophy led me back to my roots in dentistry and became The Dental Longevity Method: a continuing education course helping dental professionals take better care of their bodies so they can take better care of their patients and families. Today, MD Fit For Life is an AGD PACE-approved continuing dental education provider. This is why I do what I do: to help people move better, feel stronger, and stay in the game for the long run.
