Michele is a Certified Brain Longevity Specialist (BLS) who has worked in the field of memory enhancement and brain fitness for more than 25 years.
For 18 years, she managed a large Adult Day Care in South Florida, facilitated a caregivers’ support group, and trained all direct care staff using the National Council on Aging’s
Adult Day Care curriculum.
During that time, she also began to research and develop programming to enhance brain function, cognition, and memory. She incorporated various activities that included pet therapy, music therapy, and reminiscence groups.
In 2010, Michele and her husband moved to St. Augustine where she began working at the Saint Johns County Council on Aging.
While there, she created, developed, and managed the Integrative Memory Enhancement Program (IMEP), a research-based program that utilizes cognitive and physical exercises that support brain and body health. Under her leadership, the IMEP was implemented in various locations throughout St. Johns County, and eventually expanded to other areas of Florida.
During the pandemic, she created virtual options for IMEP, transitioning to Zoom group classes, individual coaching sessions, and the IMEP at HOME program which was delivered to participants via a weekly email. She joined Sage Brain Academy in 2022.
Michele currently offers group brain fitness classes and private cognition coaching. She maintains a daily yoga practice, is a Level II Healing Touch practitioner through the Holistic Nurse Association, and is a Reiki practitioner. She is a lover of all animals and enjoys a healthy vegan lifestyle.
