Book Dr. Michaela To Speak

Brainy and sassy with a skosh of badass.
Dr. Michaela is a commercial seaplane pilot and practicing couples therapist who delivers hard truths wrapped in humor and heart. If you want an authentic speaker who makes audiences laugh and look inward, she’s your girl. She brings neuroscience, storytelling, and a dash of sass to the stage—from being raised in a 27' fifth wheel without running water or electricity in the rural Sierra Nevadas, to winning an air race in the slowest airplane, to managing an in-flight emergency.

Life gets turbulent, and Dr. Michaela shows audiences how to fly through it with more confidence, connection, and courage.

• A step-by-step of The PRIMAL Reset—how to calm your nervous system and rewire your reactions when you feel triggered
