What People Say
The main way I’ve grown my business is through recommendations, and it pleases me to know that so many clients are satisfied with my services.
Christopher
“I reached out to Michelle for ADHD coaching after launching my second company and realizing I was stuck in an unsustainable loop of sprint, crash, repeat. She helped me decode how my brain works: where it fires on all cylinders and where it derails me. Together we locked my core strengths into place, built breathwork resets and quick reflection checkpoints into my calendar, and backed it all with accountability I could actually stick to.
Fast-forward a few months: I’m back in the gym, my energy is steadier, emotional resets come faster, and I catch mental rabbit holes before they hijack my day. I slide into the CEO chair each day feeling more grounded and less reactive. Michelle helped me turn my burnout cycle into habits that power the life (and the companies) I’m building, with momentum I’ll keep compounding between and after our sessions.”

"I was going through a very stressful time ( family business slowdown and caring for a father with dementia) and really struggling to maintain my positive outlook, deal with simple day to day stressors, and honestly just being joyful. I have been a patient of the Ultra Wellness Center, working with Dr George, for a few years with a goal of living a long healthy life. When for the first time, I didn't want to be at the appointment, I knew I was in trouble. I was just " so down". He recommended I seek out a therapist or health coach. I have learned so much and received such great guidance at the UltraWellness Center, that I decided to stay put and connect with Michelle Papanicolaou, a health coach at the center. She was super easy to talk with, asked lots of questions to determine who I was, where I have been ( emotional history), what was going on, and what I had tried so far to help myself. She made me think and reflect. She provided me with articles and small assessments that provided a lot of new insight into who I am and how I deal with things.
Together, she guided and motivated me to have a challenging conversation with my business partner to discover how we see the status of our company and our goals as individuals moving forward . It was like a weight being lifted. She also helped me get back into using the daily tools ( meditation, heart math, breathing exercises, etc) from my tool box. The goal is to make them a habit so then when things do get rough, I continue to default to them and hopefully have established a strong foundation of resilience. I really enjoyed my time with Michelle ( zoom ) and have left the door open to return to her as needed.
​
I would highly recommend meeting with her whether its navigating large obstacles in your life or just resetting for a happier you."

I’m only a short way into my journey, but I am more than pleased and excited about working with George Papanicolaou DO, IFMCP and Michelle Papanicolaou NBC-HWC, MSW, MAR. After struggling with PCOS and weight issues for 20 years, I finally feel understood and supported.
Dr. George helped me understand my insulin resistance, a major factor in my health, and guided me with supplements, nutrition, and personalized advice. Michelle’s coaching has been invaluable—helping me let go of self-blame, focus on goals, and build sustainable habits.
So far, I’ve lost 20 lbs and kept it off, and I feel like a new person with steadier energy and confidence. The entire team goes above and beyond, making this journey feel manageable and supported. I highly recommend Ultra Wellness Center to anyone looking for real answers and results!

"UltraWellness Center saved my life."
​​
'Dr. George Papanicolaou DO, IFMCP and Michelle Papanicolaou NBC-HWC, MSW, MAR are the reason. When I first came to UWC, I had many health issues: I was overweight, had severe stomach and intestinal problems, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
It was a journey, and I would not have made it without them. They make a great team. I lost over 70 pounds, no longer take medications for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and my stomach issues are gone. I feel better than I have in 30 years.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Invest in your health—it’s worth every penny.'
Sandra
“Michelle Papanicolaou is a rock star in the health coach arena. I had been suffering with unpleasant OCDs for some time.
​
Two years and several therapists later, Michelle came to my rescue and helped me finally conquer the obsessive rituals.
​
Her kind understanding and verbal prowess made all the difference. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
Marybeth
"When I was a new patient at the Ultrawellness Center in March 2022, I initially ignored my physician's advice that I work with a health coach. I thought I could handle the health goals on my own. As my emerging crises came to light, I realized that maybe I should try the coach approach. As soon as I started working with Michelle, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief, that somebody was genuinely concerned about my well-being and success. My outlook on health has definitely changed since working with Michelle. I have developed a sense of agency surrounding my personal health goals, which is a direct result of Michelle's support and kind approach.
​
​
Michelle is always supportive, even if I haven't completely achieved my goals from the previous session. She has helped me understand that I can still celebrate success even if I didn't meet my goals 100%. I have really benefited from discussing the tools she shared, such as the decisional balance worksheet to analyze the pros and cons of any action. In addition, discussions about "tiny habits" have been really helpful.
​
I have loved working with Michelle! Her friendly, celebratory and non-judgmental approach makes it a pleasure to connect with her during coaching sessions. She inspired me so much that I decided to enroll in the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy as a health coach trainee!"
David
"I began working with Michelle on the recommendation of my physician at the Ultrawellness Center. I had been improving my eating and losing weight, but was stalled between 205 and 210 pounds and not making progress on my goal of getting to 185 pounds and other health and fitness goals.
Michelle quickly identified some issues that I had with food — especially cookies and sweet treats that always seem to show up at meetings or when I get a coffee. She also helped with developing plans for eating out and how to eat more healthfully at parties. She worked to make me accountable for my actions.
After working with Michelle for a few months, I am able to confidently skip the sweets and have developed healthy habits for eating out — even at the Holidays. Thanks to Michelle, I am now under 190 pounds and looking forward to hitting and maintaining my target weight. I feel healthy, have more energy and have had to buy new clothes."

"Michelle turned out to be a great resource for me. I initially met with her to get some organization around medical data. Michelle was suggested to me through The UltraWellness Center initially because I was confused and conflicted with my eating habits.
​
I wanted to get my head around all the data I was presented with and really understand the center in an organized way. I needed a long term plan that I was comfortable with.
Michelle first and foremost is a great communicator and has great interpersonal skills, which makes it very easy to communicate.
Each week we discussed deliverables for every session, and she did a great job listening and iterating what I said the next week in review.
​
She also did a great job of simplifying and taking the harsh tone of my internal food dialogue away. We then moved into my general goals for life. I always do pretty well with professional goals, but when it comes to personal ones for enjoyment, I let them fall by the wayside.
While I initially met with her to get the organization around medical data, we pivoted into some long term life goals. I'm not sure if other coaches would have pivoted like that to provide me that value. She is very enjoyable to work with and genuinely seems interested in helping.
This process made me aware that I need to attack all goals the same way."
Kristin
"Health Coaching was suggested to me by my functional medicine doctor. I was really interested in working on time management and focusing on achieving my health goals.
What we ultimately worked on were tools I could use to plan my time and be intentional with that time, focusing on my work and family life balance.
Since working with Michelle, I am able to prioritize my time in a way that gives me the balance I need and ultimately the extra time to spend with my family."
