Michelle Blais

Michelle Blais is an elementary school teacher with more than 18 years of experience supporting children’s academic and emotional growth. With a background in psychology and personal development, she helps kids build confidence, resilience, and a true growth mindset. A recovering perfectionist herself, Michelle uses the same research based, brain informed strategies she teaches to create lasting change.

After working in both inner city and suburban schools, she saw that many children struggle with anxiety and fear of failure, regardless of background. That insight led her to develop practical tools that help children move from overwhelmed to confident. Today, she equips parents with these strategies so growth and resilience continue long after the school year ends.
