• Just got divorced?

  • Sold your company?

  • Left your career?

  • You feel disconnected from what once felt meaningful or energizing

  • Having an identity crisis?

You're supposed to make the biggest decision of your life... without actually knowing who you are.

So you're stuck. Overwhelmed. Second-guessing everything.

I prevent that.

This Is You:

• You just went through a major life change (divorce, career shift, sold your business)
• Everyone thinks you're fine, but inside you feel lost
• You're terrified of making the wrong decision and wasting another 3-5 years
• You've tried therapy (helped with the past, not the future)
• You've read the books (information didn't equal transformation)
• You're done guessing. You need clarity before you make your next move.

Here's the truth:

You don't have a decision problem.
You have an identity problem.

When you don't know who you are, every decision is a guess.

And guessing at a crossroads costs you years of your life.

You've Already Tried Everything

• Oura ring tracking your sleep (but you still can't fix it)
• Fitbit counting your steps (but you're still overweight)
• Cold plunges, red light, supplements (but you still feel off)
• Meditation apps, breathwork courses (but your mind won't quiet)
• Therapy, coaching, self-help books (but you're still stuck)

The data tells you something's wrong. But nothing tells you how to fix it.

Here's why:

Wearables track the problem. They don't solve it.

Your Oura ring can tell you your HRV is low. It can't tell you WHY.
Your Fitbit can count steps. It can't tell you why you're stuck.
Your therapist can help you process the past. They can't give you a framework for the future.

You don't need more generic data. You need someone who can interpret it and fix it.

That's where I come in.

I'm Michelle Dutro. I Prevent Catastrophic Decisions at Crossroads.

For 25 years, I've worked with people whose lives looked successful on paper but felt completely wrong on the inside.

Here's what makes me different:

I'm not a life coach who took a weekend certification and built a course.

I'm an Air Force veteran and former Firefighter who spent years making life-or-death decisions under extreme stress. I know what it's like when clarity is the difference between survival and catastrophe.

After watching the same people end up in crisis over and over, I realized: if I'm seeing you at your worst, I've already failed you.

So I left emergency medicine and spent the next 25 years asking one question:

Why do some people thrive after trauma and others stay stuck?

That journey led me to become a certified biofeedback specialist and open a 20-acre retreat center equipped with over $100K in medical-grade assessment and therapy equipment - not consumer wearables, but the kind of technology you'd find in advanced clinics:

Assessment Tools:

• Quantum biofeedback system (SCIO)

• Heart Rate Variability testing (before/after proof of transformation)

• Autonomic nervous system analysis (PPG Stress Flow)

• Energy field imaging (Bio-Well)

Therapeutic Devices:

•Electrodermal biofeedback (RegMatEx) for chronic pain and inflammation

• Photobiomodulation (Vielight) for brain optimization

• Red light therapy (JOOV), far-infrared sauna, cold plunge

Here's what I learned from thousands of hours over two decades of biofeedback data:

Your body knows who you are before your mind does.

When you're living the wrong life - wrong career, wrong relationship, wrong path - your body revolts:

• Dysregulated heart rate variability ✓ Measured

• Chronic inflammation ✓ Detected

• Disrupted autonomic function ✓ Proven

• Energy field depletion ✓ Visible

That's not a chemical imbalance. That's your nervous system screaming "THIS ISN'T YOUR LIFE."

And here's what your Oura ring can't tell you: WHY it's happening and HOW to fix it.

Medical-Grade Equipment vs Consumer Wearables

Medical-Grade Equipment vs Consumer Wearables

Your wearable: Tracks the problem


My equipment: Diagnoses the root cause and treats it

Your wearable: Tells you your HRV is low


My equipment: Shows me why (autonomic dysfunction, chronic stress patterns, energetic blockages) and gives your body the therapeutic input it needs to recalibrate

Your wearable: Passive data collection


My approach: Active therapeutic intervention with measurable before/after outcomes

This is what happens when biohacking isn't enough.

Why People Come to Me

I'm known for being honest, direct, and doing everything I can to make sure you don't waste another minute of your life.

Your friends won't tell you the truth because they don't want you to feel bad.
Your family won't say what needs to be said because they're too close.

That's my job.

I'm here to get you back on track. And that usually starts with honesty and talking through the things you already knew deep down.

Sometimes people get so used to living a lie - or justifying the life they have - that they can't see it anymore.

Sometimes people can't see a path to a better, more fullfilling life.

I see it.

Everyone needs someone in their life who cares enough to not let them settle for anything less than the life they were meant to live.

What I Actually Do

I give you two things most people never get together:

1. Nervous System Regulation

Your body has to feel safe enough to tell you the truth. That's where the medical-grade biofeedback comes in - I measure what stress has done to your autonomic nervous system, identify where inflammation is hiding, and use therapeutic interventions to help restore you to baseline.

This isn't passive tracking. This is active treatment.

2. Identity Clarity

Once your nervous system calms, you can finally answer: Who am I? Why am I here? What do I actually value? What life am I designed to live?

This isn't therapy. Therapy helps you process the past.


This isn't coaching. Coaching helps you achieve goals.


This isn't biohacking you see on social media.

This is a framework that prevents you from making terrible decisions at crossroads - decisions that cost you years of regret

What Happens If You Don't Get This Right?

Let's be honest about what's at stake:

• Another 3-5 years in the wrong relationship
• $100K+ invested in a business you hate
• Chronic stress destroying your health (autoimmune, insomnia, anxiety)
• Your Oura ring showing bad data with no solution
• Waking up at 50 asking "How did I waste my life?"
• Years of regret asking "What if I'd just known who I was?"

The cost of guessing is massive.

What Happens When You Get Clarity First?

• You make decisions from knowing, not guessing
• Your nervous system stops revolting (measurable via HRV)
• You stop second-guessing every choice
• You build a life that actually fits who you are
• You prevent years of regret
• Your biohacking data finally makes sense - and improves

Clarity prevents catastrophe.

Real Transformations

"After 20 years in the military, I didn't know who I was without the uniform. Michelle's framework didn't just help me find clarity - it gave me a roadmap my body could follow. My HRV went from critical to coherent. My life went from chaos to purpose."


— Sarah M., Retired Air Force, PTSD Retreat Participant

"I sold my company for $8M and had a full identity crisis. Therapy helped me process the past, but Michelle gave me a framework for the future. I'm not guessing anymore. I'm building the life I actually want."


— David K., Entrepreneur

"I'd tried everything - Oura ring, supplements, meditation apps, therapy. My data showed I was stressed but nothing worked. Michelle's biofeedback equipment showed me WHY. Two days at her retreat changed everything. My sleep improved, my inflammation dropped, and for the first time in years I know who I am."

You don’t have to figure this out all at once.

You don’t need to overhaul your life or have all the answers right now. Clarity comes from creating space, space to slow down, settle the nervous system, and reconnect with what truly matters. When you start from a calmer place, the next steps tend to become clearer on their own.

I have worked with Michelle for years. If you are looking for the root cause of what is holding you back from living the life you are meant to live, look no further. These two day will save you years of spinning your wheels or heading in the wrong direction.

The 2-Day Retreat is difficult to summarize, except that it's life changing. Everything—just every experience—built one to the next, and you start to see your life from a new perspective. And maybe it's because we were just becoming more open throughout the experience. I think the whole experience was impactful, one on top of the other. If anyone is considering doing a Retreat with Michelle Dutro and you're on the fence, just first know that your expectations will be exceeded, I promise you that. I can't wait to come again.

No one is meant to live with PTSD. And you can't carry trauma with you and think you are living your best life. The tools that Michelle provides are life changing. You are worth investing in. A couple of days will change everything.

The people who thrive after crisis have one thing in common:
They got clarity before they made the decision.

Not after. Not during. Before.
