Success Is Truly Knowing Yourself
Since I began my work as a coach in 2010, I’ve had the privilege of guiding more than 10,000 people. My mission is to bring more connection into the world and between one another. And yes this begins with you.
In my coaching, retreats, and workshops, I create authentic spaces where you can rediscover yourself, meet your shadows with honesty and compassion, and feel deeply supported by like-minded souls.
Here, you’ll find an invitation to truly live from your heart , with courage, truth, and connection, so you can once again move through life from your fullest vital energy.
Your (self-)awareness has already expanded. You’re ready to deepen it and integrate it sustainably into your life
It’s time to discover your pure inner strength on an even deeper level. This allows you to live more fully from surrender and trust. From that place, you reconnect with your own feelings, which directly influences your relationship with yourself and with those around you.
You can begin to truly and sustainably integrate everything you’ve learned, from self-help books, other professionals, or your own life journey.
WHERE EAST MEETS WEST
My name is Michelle Ariël Kessels
Trauma-Informed, Somatic Coach, Women’s Mentor & Facilitator
In my coaching and retreats, I combine systemic constellation work with various forms of body-based practices. Western psychology has been the foundation of my studies, which I weave together with Eastern wisdom traditions that focus more deeply on working with the body. I let you experience it for yourself, so that beyond understanding things in your mind, your body (heart, gut, pelvis) can journey with you in your transformation.
Awareness and self-development have always fascinated me. Since 2010, I’ve applied this passion in my work, within the social sector, the corporate world, and my own practice as a coach and facilitator. Guiding different teams, groups, and more than 10,000 individuals has shaped me into the trainer and coach I am today.
A deeper level of awareness allows you to live from your heart and in true connection with yourself, and it directly influences everything and everyone around you.
In my programs, you won’t find sugarcoating or gentle stroking. Alongside warmth, humor and a sense of safety, I will also challenge you until we arrive together at your deeper shadows and patterns, beyond your comfort zone. This is how you come to truly know yourself, so you can step back into life grounded in your most authentic self.
I consider her an ally in the mission to guide more people to the edges of transformation.
‘Michelle Ariël is a powerful being.
She embodies a level of beautifully integrated masculine and feminine that allows for her to see, feel, respond and act effectively in a variety of situations. She cares deeply for and feels everyone’s experience, whilst also being able to guide and direct ….. whilst also having a clear overview of multiple perspectives. This makes her a powerful teacher, guide, and human being., and I consider her a sister and an ally in the mission to guide more people to the edges of transformation.

What People Are Saying
Recently, under the inspired guidance of Michelle Ariël, I had the privilege of experiencing a beautiful workshop. The inner journey I was able to make was deeply emotional and mind blowing, as if I could sink deeper and deeper into layers of feeling whose existence I had not been aware of. All in all, it was an extremely intense and healing experience for me. It feels as though more space has been created in every cell of my body. A few days after the workshop, I felt more expansion in my energetic body. As if I was suddenly better able to take up my own space in the world and to stand for who I truly am, from my authentic self. Very special, so a thousand thanks to Michelle Ariël for holding and safeguarding this beautiful field full of love and insights.

Spending time in a space held by Ariël is something special. She doesn’t just guide a session, she creates a sacred space where you feel completely safe to let go. You can tell how much love and care she puts into every detail, making sure the space feels warm, intentional, and inviting.
Her energy is both gentle and strong, holding you in a way that makes it easy to drop in, relax, and just be. Nothing feels rushed or forced, just a deep, nourishing experience that stays with you long after.
If you need a moment to breathe, reset, and receive, I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, just go. You’ll thank yourself later..

I have received coaching from you and it has given me a lot of insight into myself. Into things I do have influence over and things I cannot change. I can now feel and see this more clearly and therefore let it go. In addition, you have helped me enormously with learning to set boundaries. What belongs to me and what belongs to someone else. You are very good at helping people recognize patterns and then move into action. I also want to share that you are a truly wonderful human being with a golden heart. You think along with others and do not impose opinions. You dare to express what you think and you do so without being hurtful. You are a true people person. Stay who you are.
A warm hug from me,
— Maartje.
