My story
Hi, I’m Michele!
My journey has shaped both a professional path and a passion for supporting others in their own recovery and wellness. Growing up in a multicultural home, food was always at the center of family life—my grandmother insisted on full plates, while societal and family pressures fueled self-consciousness and body image struggles. Like many young women of the early 2000s, I faced the weight of unrealistic beauty standards, along with postpartum anxiety and depression after childbirth, which led to years of insecurity and hyperfixation. But with time, healing and healthy habits, along with some help, I overcame my issues for good.
As Director of Operations at Recover at Home, I bring not only my organizational expertise but also deep empathy and understanding. I know firsthand that healing is not linear and that support, compassion, and structure make all the difference. Outside of work, I enjoy live music, dancing, reading, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my partner and our four daughters (yes, 4). Coffee keeps me going in the mornings, while a good glass of wine helps me unwind at night.
