Michelle Göldner
Mind-Body Therapist and Neuroscience Coach
Life is a journey of adventures and challenges, but what if the way you think and feel could be the key to not just managing and surviving, but thriving on your journey, living a long, healthy, and joyful life?
Welcome, my name is Michelle, I am a mind-body therapist and neuroscience coach, and have dedicated my life to helping people transform their mental and emotional well-being into a foundation for a life well lived. Through my work, I guide individuals like you to understand that mental health is not just about avoiding stress or managing anxiety; it’s also about optimizing the nervous system and brain, which govern your overall health and well-being. By improving these core concepts, you can enhance your resilience, boost your energy, and lead a more balanced life.
What does it mean to live mentally well? It means cultivating the emotional resilience and mental agility, to navigate life’s ups and downs, developing the psychological flexibility to adapt and grow, and fostering a mindset that supports your goals for longevity and wellness. Here our approach is a blend of advanced neuroscientific methods, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mind-body techniques, with practical strategies you can easily integrate into your daily life. It is not about quick fixes; you are creating lasting change that supports your overall well-being, building healthier habits that create genuine, long-term growth.
With a deeper understanding of the brain’s role in shaping your behaviours and how emotions play a vital role in your overall well-being, we offer more than just advice, we offer a path to living life well. Whether through my vlogs, articles, or one-on-one consultations, we provide tools and insights that help you take control of your mental health, so you can live the long, fulfilling life you deserve.
Welcome to Equilibrium, where your path to wellness is personal, and we are dedicated to guiding you on your journey to longevity. Let’s explore what it means to live mentally well and how it can transform your life.
Your journey toward a healthier, more resilient you.
Michelle

Why That Doughnut Has More Power Than Your Ex

Brotherhood of Broken Truths
Dust motes hang in the late afternoon light. The kitchen smells of burnt coffee and unspoken words... You learned early. Quiet is safer. Smaller is safer. Men don’t cry. Men don’t show weakness. Men carry on, no matter what. Your father’s hands, calloused, rough...

What Remains

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORY
It started barely audible. A low hum in the background of your life, almost imperceptible until it wasn’t. At first, it was subtle, a headache that wrapped itself around your temples, a tightness in your chest when the day stretched too long. It became louder. A...

CONFESSIONS OF A WELL DECORATED PRISON

The Rabbit Hole That is Personal Development! I am going to get so much lip for this one but here it is nonetheless. Hear me out! How many times have you told yourself, "Just one more book, one more workshop, one more breakthrough, and I will finally be enough, be...

When Giving Becomes Bleeding
The Invisible Strings We Tie to Ourselves For a long time, I didn’t know the difference between people pleasing and over giving. They felt like two sides of the same coin, a currency I used to navigate my relationships and the world. But they are different, so deeply...

Why Your Body’s Decline is Slowly Destroying Your Mind.
Your body isn't just a shell or vessel, it’s the foundation of your mind. When the body suffers, the mind suffers. Yet, so many people continue to treat their mental health as if it exists in a vacuum, separate from their physical health. This mindset is not just...

Cycles, Struggles, and Rebirth
You are driving late at night, the road stretching endlessly in front of you, headlights cutting through the darkness. It’s so quiet… the kind of quiet that presses against you, the kind that amplifies your thoughts, making them louder. You can feel it creeping in...
