In Brief : The Top Mindfulness Coaches
Michelle Dixon
Michelle Dixon is a mindfulness coach specialising in trauma healing. In addition to her Phd in economics, she is qualified in multiple mind body qualifications. She’s published numerous articles online about healing and doing life better.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I support clients to rediscover their Wholeness, or the part of them that has never been harmed, and learn to live from that place in order to build a life they love. Using multiple mind-body tools, I use my 3 Rs approach: release trauma from the body, rewire the mind, and re-align to Wholeness.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
When I define success, I look at it from a more soul-based perspective. If I have truly supported one person to leave the past in the past and have the tools to move forward in life with a new, positive outlook, then there is a ripple effect from that person’s life to everyone they meet. I treat every client as my only and most important client. I am only ever as successful as the client who has the strength to be vulnerable with me and take steps forward, no matter how challenging it may feel. If we define success as ‘helping lots of people,’ then my success stems from the fact that I do actually care very deeply for my clients and I make that clear!

Joe’s specialties include: Reiki energy healing, mindfulness coaching, and “spiritual dialogue,” a process that helps clients discover the roots of their stuckness so they can get unstuck and onto the path of flourishing.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I work on the spiritual level to help clients get to the roots of their suffering. Through dialogue, the client and I gain a richer understanding of why the client is feeling stuck. Through Reiki, I help the client release and clear their inner blockages. Through mindfulness coaching, I empower the client to connect to the present moment through the heart, so they can live more fully in the here and now. Together, these processes help my clients get unstuck and onto the flourishing path.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Experience. My spiritual awakening process has been going on for 12 years now. That experience has taught me so much about the nature of suffering and the process of healing. I enjoy sharing that hard-won wisdom with my clients.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
With over 12 years of experience within the Neuroscience and Psychology fields, I combine my background on research with a holistic integrated trauma-informed approach. I draw from several healing modalities designed to access personal freedom, build confidence, and create health, abundance and transformation in all areas of life from the inside out.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most valuable thing is my focus on mind, body, emotional, and contextual factors that influence wellbeing. My way of understanding and waving between Neuroscience and Spirituality, and connecting the two under a compassionate Coaching framework expands my clients’ ability to bring more depth and meaning to their lives, like no other.
Erin McCarthy

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I combine my 20+ years of mindfulness expertise, training and experience with my academic background as a Philosophy Professor and Contemplative Studies scholar to provide the most powerful transformation possible for my clients.
This unique combination I’m able to bring to the table allows me to work on deeper levels and bring multiple perspectives and insights to a diverse range of situations. I make mindfulness, meditation and philosophy practical, so my clients can integrate it into their daily lives to be their calmest, most confident, most capable selves.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My ability to combine empathic attunement and compassion with my academic background. I’m able to bring well researched theory — techniques, tools and strategies that are backed by evidence — to my clients and, perhaps most importantly, work with them to figure out ways to integrate it into their daily lives to make the kinds of change they want to make — to meet them where they are and help them come back from or avoid burnout, to reconnect with joy in their lives, to help them soak up the good times more deeply and help make the tough times easier to bear.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Over the years I’ve developed a unique blend of disciplines and techniques that help me to respond intuitively to my clients individual needs. I use deep listening, wholehearted presence and compassion to create a space in which my clients can explore themselves. This, together with holding them accountable to their home practices, encouraging them to nurture self trust and more deeply connect to their innate wisdom has incredible outcomes and transformative long lasting effects. Having a vast toolkit that supports my two main disciplines of mindfulness and coaching means I can sensitively manage trauma and mental health conditions as they emerge.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Knowing why I am doing this. When I have days when I’m tired or skeptical or I doubt myself, I always return to my ‘why’. I have a deep desire to help others as I’ve experienced tough times in my life and plenty of internal suffering. I love helping people to break free of feeling trapped in their own mind. It’s so debilitating and affects our whole life. We don’t often realise that we can take charge of this. I used to think my personality was set in stone and that was it for the rest of my life. But there’s so much more to us than our thoughts. It’s liberating to learn this and so fulfilling to witness my clients do this.
Darrell Jones

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I support individuals to awaken to the power of their thoughts, beliefs and habits. First discovering how they have been shaping their life to this point and engaging them in practices to shift or manage those thoughts, beliefs and habits that don’t serve them anymore. This awareness partnered with practices to support growth, shift and continued awareness support the whole person’s life, personally and professionally.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The biggest thing that has contributed to my success as a coach is the ability to integrate principles of spirituality, leadership, mindfulness, philosophy, positive psychology and other social sciences to co-create unique programming for each individual.The principles never change, but the approach and method of integration for each person is bespoke.

Her passion is to empower these women to “rebirth” themselves so they can live healthy, vibrant, and purpose-driven lives. Sheri is a nutritionist and spiritual coach offering one-to-one and group coaching programs.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
In the midlife health industry, most experts focus only on the physical body. The reason many women don’t get the results they’re seeking is that they also have either emotional or spiritual issues blocking their success. My coaching address body, mind and soul and does so using my unique habit formula. Most programs attempt to make major changes to a client’s diet, exercise regime or life and it’s overwhelming. I use a simple but intentional approach to developing sustainable habits that create long term, sustainable well-being.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My own personal growth journey and building my own ability to follow my intuition while developing group coaching programs and during one-to-one coaching sessions has been a game-changer for me. Following a formula for coaching as I was taught, felt too prescriptive and my clients benefited much more when I allowed in space for intuition and flow.

Diane Titterton
I first discovered the benefits of mindfulness when I was pregnant when it helped me throughout my pregnancy, with the birth and then the demands of caring for a newborn. When I returned to work I continued to use mindfulness to help whilst setting up my business and juggling work commitments with family life.

Melissa Maher
I hold a safe container for you to explore self-compassion as a transformative practice that clears the energetic channels for joy, clarity, and connection to flow — so your actions can be guided by love and intuition instead of fear and self-doubt.
Stephanie Lewis
Stress is a constant in today’s world. Like many of you, I was drawn to mindfulness at a time in my life when I was stressed and burnt out, operating on autopilot to push through, feeling like my brain was on fire. In the end, I paid for it with my health. Along the way, I quit my job, paused my career, and traveled to Asia.
Since then, I’ve studied a wide range of personal self-care practices, including meditation and Qigong, all while continually learning (and sometimes relearning) how to best care for myself. These practices have served me well in my career as a practicing attorney and in dealing with the challenges of life in general.
