About Me

Hi, I’m Michelle

I founded Innara in early 2025 to create a safe, compassionate space where connection, healing, and personal growth can truly flourish.


I’ve always been fascinated by the human experience: how we think, feel, learn, and transform. This curiosity led me to earn academic degrees in psychology, neuroscience, and learning & development, as well as certifications in coaching and breathwork.


Over the years, I’ve worked as a trainer, coach, and consultant in diverse organizations. Alongside Innara, I also work as a behavioural scientist, coach, and mediator in youth care, supporting families through challenging divorces and complex relational dynamics.


At the heart of it all, what brings me the most joy is guiding people toward self-awareness, healing, and meaningful change; helping them step into the most aligned and authentic version of themselves and create a positive impact on the world around them.


Science Meets Intuition & Embodiment

Alongside the science, I’ve always felt connected to the spiritual and intuitive side of life. Through breathwork, I was reminded of something I had always known but often ignored: the body holds profound wisdom.


Whether through yoga, trail running, hiking, or simply breathing with awareness, I found my way back to presence, beyond the loops of overthinking. This embodied, intuitive approach now forms the heart of Innara.


I offer personalised, holistic guidance: a blend of coaching, counseling, breathwork, movement, and nature. Together, we recognise patterns, shift perspectives, and transform coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. My work especially supports those healing from toxic relationships, trauma, or emotional patterns.


Seeing the Bigger Picture

I believe our personal challenges never exist in isolation. We are shaped by the systems we live in; families, cultures, societal norms, and economic structures that influence how we see ourselves and relate to the world.


From patriarchal dynamics and social media pressures to expectations around success, productivity, and worth, these forces affect our nervous systems, relationships, and sense of belonging. In my work, we look at both: your inner world of emotions, wounds, and patterns and the outer world of systems and expectations. This deeper awareness allows you to reclaim your freedom and reconnect with what truly matters.


Rooted in Nature

I feel deeply connected to nature, not just as something to enjoy, but as something we are. Nature is a profound source of healing and wisdom, and I believe that by caring for ourselves, we also care for the planet.


That’s why I donate a portion of Innara’s profits to environmental and social causes that align with this vision of reciprocity, restoration, and reconnection.


How I Can Support You

Whether you’ve never tried coaching or therapy before and are looking for a safe, welcoming space, or you’ve already been through therapy but still feel something is missing, I aim to offer a different kind of support.


My approach integrates science, intuition, embodiment, and systemic awareness, providing a mirror and practical tools that may reach you in ways conventional settings sometimes don’t.


Every path is unique. My role is to provide clarity, support, and guidance so you can reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence and purpose.

About Innara

Awakens You

Innara symbolizes awakening: stepping into greater self-awareness and discovering your inner light. It represents transformation, growth, and renewal; a process of illuminating what’s been hidden and unlocking your full potential.


Meaning Behind the Name

The name Innara is rooted in ancient wisdom and mythology. In Arabic, it means “illuminating” or “shining,” derived from the verb nur, which signifies bringing light. In Hittite mythology, Innara was the god of woods and fields, a guardian of the natural world and its rhythms. The name also appears in Luwian and Proto-Indo-European languages, where it signifies strength and power. Additionally, Innara can be seen as a blend of INner, NAture, and RA, the Egyptian sun god, representing light, wisdom, and life force energy.


Connection at the Core

At its core, Innara is about connection, between mind, body, and soul, between humans and nature, and between knowledge and intuition. It’s also about understanding that our personal journeys don’t unfold in isolation: we are deeply influenced by the systems we live in through cultural narratives, societal expectations, economic pressures, and collective patterns. Healing and transformation, therefore, are not only about shifting what’s within us but also about finding freedom and clarity within these wider contexts.


Your Favorite Self

And while transformation can be deep and powerful, it can also be joyful, freeing, and even playful. Because as Innara guides you to becoming your favorite self, this doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being fully, authentically you: a version of yourself that is healing, learning, growing, making mistakes, laughing deeply, and living life with openness and wonder. That’s where the magic happens.
