ABOUT
Michelle Kolling is an end-of-life doula, grief relief coach, death educator, and founder of Held. While serving as a caregiver to her husband during the end of his life, she came to understand the transformational possibilities that exist when being deeply present to the dying experience.
Whether planning for the end of life while healthy or because of a life-changing diagnosis, facing your own mortality often brings up issues of identity, meaning, hope, and fear. Michelle created Held with the intention of creating a safe and sacred place to explore and honor all that arises. It is her belief that we are the creators in our own lives, and she helps guide her clients to authentically live as fully as possible for as long as possible.
At Schromen Law, Michelle uses her background and skills to coordinate our monthly grief groups. Her grief coaching services are also available to clients.
Michelle has served on the Steering Committee of the Minnesota Death Collaborative since 2021 and is a member of the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA), where she trained as an end-of-life doula in 2019. In addition, she is a Certified Grief Educator (David Kessler Training), and Certified Life Coach and Hypnotherapist (IntraAwareness).
