Testimonials

"I have had the great fortune of attending a number of Michel’s training sessions for educators. I found his humorous and reflective approach to the topics of mindfulness for children and educators and compassionate behaviour management techniques a wonderful way to engage with the content. I have always come away from the sessions with not only increased knowledge and confidence but also a new set of skills to apply in the classroom and in life. He has changed not only my teaching practice for the better but also helped me to further myself as an individual. I consider Michel a leading expert in these fields and would not hesitate to recommend his services to fellow educators."

"Michel has been a peer coach since over a year ago.  I am truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to have him as a coaching partner.  His insights have been nothing but transformative. In our conversations, he always is able to provoke deep and meaningful thought. Every conversation with him brings valuable lessons drawn from his well of wisdom and experience as an educator. Michel always inspires me to view challenges from different perspectives and approach solutions with renewed confidence. I am grateful for the positive impact he has had my personal and professional growth. Anyone seeking an exceptional coach and mentor  would greatly benefit from working with Michel."

"In a relatively short period of time, I feel like I have learned an extraordinary amount from Michel. My discussions with him have helped me to understand the importance of attachment and trust between me and my children, how that will evolve as they grow older, and the actions I can take to support my children’s growth and development with loving kindness."

"Thanks to Michel’s workshops on a mindfulness-based approach to growth, from stimulating thoughts and group discussions to providing practical solutions, parents can always get many benefits in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

​​

In addition to workshops on different topics, the weekly parent meditation led by Kru Michel helps me focus on my spiritual growth, In addition, the lively weekly parent-child meditation sessions help parents in paying attention to their interactions with their children, fostering more authentic and profound connections between them. Applying these methods in daily life, you will find that many gratifying changes are quietly occurring."

"I had the chance to attend several workshops led by Michel Thibeault at my children’s school. Each time I came away with great satisfaction and the desire to attend the next session! Lots of good advice and relevant information for taking care of our children, while respecting them and their emotions. In addition, the atmosphere is really pleasant and welcoming. Thank you Michel."

"Conversations with Michel have changed how I understand the world and myself.  Even though the focus of our work is on parenting, what I learned from him is applicable to other relationships as well. What I learned from him is invaluable and has far-reaching impacts on my life and the lives of others around me. I am indebted to him and wish I could also support others in the same way he has supported me. His compassion, wisdom, and generosity are precious gifts.

Michel  helps me understand what is in my control and responsibility and what is not, and what attitude I can embrace to accept what I cannot change, while striving to do my best in what is in my responsibility. Such clarity is wisdom. It takes practice to develop such wisdom, however.

Michel asks questions that served as a mirror for me to see myself more clearly. I have been working with him to learn to parent better, more effectively, by having a good relationship with my children. He shared with me many insights and skillful means in a very clear, concise, systematic manner, and sometimes with reference to illustrative examples. I absorbed everything he said, reflected upon them, and put them into practice; only through the framework of my own experiences do I understand the ideas that he has shared with me. He is understanding of the pace and the method through which I learn because he was committed to helping me."

"I just wanted to express my gratitude for the profound impact you have had on my life through your coaching. Your guidance and support have helped me to define my priorities, gain clarity, and make real progress towards achieving my business and personal goals.

​

Your practical coaching expertise has been invaluable in helping me to break down my goals into manageable steps and focus my energy on what really matters. But perhaps even more important has been your emotional support during difficult times. Your kindness, empathy, and compassion have been a source of strength and encouragement that has helped me to tap into my own resilience and keep moving forward.

​

Thank you for everything you have done for me. I would highly recommend your coaching services to anyone looking for guidance, support, and inspiration in their life. You have a true gift for helping people find their way, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you."

"I’ve had a very nice experience coaching from Michel.

Michel’s active listening skills support me to be aware of the root cause of my issues. Michel also constantly asked me powerful questions to make me see a new perspective. Even though I couldn’t explain myself well, Michel would clarify back and ask more questions to make sure what I meant. 

Michel is very patient and there is no judgment in our conversation, so I feel safe to say anything to him. I’m grateful for our coaching sessions and for getting the results I’m looking for. Thank you so much, Michel."

"You led me on a journey; one inward and full of openings. I remember you saying one day, “today we will travel.” And sitting in front of me, you guided me through the timeline of my childhood.

​

You were the mirror I needed to see through and the safe space I needed to be held in as I reflected, shifted, opened, and emerged. Our sessions helped me so much in my relationship with my kids and my husband.

Every time we sat together, you offered gentleness and encouragement, being attuned to my needs, mindfully giving direction to guide me to where I needed when I was ready (and even when I was not). And at times, most times, just when I thought I had figured it all out, you invited me to consider viewing it from another lens. By offering me a different perspective, inviting a new way of thinking, a way into my unconsciousness that I was unable to access alone—you gave me what I now know is the vehicle that guides my worthiness: my thoughts! 

The timeline experience reminded me of walking down a dark road at night looking through windows, lit by warm lamp lights, illuminating deeply meaningful pieces of art, housing dusty bookshelves cradling old stories, with delicately hung tapestries with some holes that reveal dark shadows on the walls. There was fear yet incredible familiarity, and safety surrounding me as we walked passed each window, pausing to observe the feelings arising within, breathing in the memories that came trickling back to me. With your guidance, you invited me to be present and stay with all of it, and not to run away like I had done many times before—allowing me to notice the moment, this opening, and its power to become a new pathway to healing. 

This journey is only but one that gave me clarity, compassion, and awareness.  The roots of my wounds became known. The truth of where I needed to start healing—not just what I needed to heal—became so clear that it was no longer a mystery of my unworthiness. I don’t go down those same pathways I used to. I remember vividly the tools you handed me, the wisdom you instilled, the affirmations, the visualizing, and the worthy inner voice you helped me restore. Every. Single. Day. 

I am not done needing your guidance. But I am forever grateful for the time you gave—for me to begin to see that “I am worthy.” 

Thank you for your patience as I untangled and opened."

"Michel, he brought the sun into my head. I met him in 2021, in a period of really dark of my life on all counts. He helped me overcome all these trials and see things differently. He helped me ask myself the right questions. He knew how to make me unique and led me to see myself as I am. He brought out all that is beautiful in me, revealing my true personality with all my kindness, benevolence and generosity.

I have always looked forward to our sessions with impatience and interest and I like to describe our relationship as special. He knows how to make this moment special for me, to take care of me. He knows how to focus on what is true and important. I thank him for all that he is, his patience, kindness, wisdom, humour and availability.

Today our sessions have spontaneously been less and less frequent and it’s just because I feel lighter, more serene, more smiling and, more positive … I have 1 foot in each shoe and feet well on the ground with beautiful values that are mine and that I am proud of."
