Please welcome Michelle Swanson to the Ascent team!!
Michelle Swanson is a transformational coach, certified NLP practitioner, speaker, and retreat leader.
She is the driving force behind Simply Be Consulting in Darryington, Washington.
Michelle and Simply Be are partnered in collaboration with Ascent Training & Consulting.
At Simply Be, everything Michelle offers is rooted in her personal creed—a set of values that guide how she lives, leads, and serves:
Honor. Cherish. Respect.
I believe in playing for a win-win, where no one needs to lose for someone else to rise. There’s no space here for blaming, shaming, judging, or comparing. Instead, I lead with curiosity—asking different questions, embracing “you do you, I’ll do me,” and creating a safe, loving space for growth. We are all worthy, we are all enough, and we are all still becoming. I love you. You love me. We are safe and thriving.
As I like to remind myself: God gave me two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Listening—really listening—is where transformation begins.
