Health and Productivity Expert Michelle Cederberg galvanizes people to blaze their own path and live a bigger life. An in-demand speaker, author, health expert and life coach, she empowers clients to break down the physical and emotional barriers that get in the way of growth – in business and in life.

She holds a Masters in Kinesiology, a BA in Psychology, a specialization in Health and Exercise Psychology, is a Certified Exercise Physiologist (CEP) and Certified Professional Co-Active Life Coach (CPCC). She truly combines mind, body, and practicality to inspire change!

A natural storyteller, Michelle transports delighted audiences on a journey of truth and laughter that will empower them to optimize energy and health, find better work-life balance and gain momentum toward the personal legacy they long to create. Michelle is the author of three books. Her latest literary spark plug, Energy Now! Small Steps to an Energetic Life shares her philosophy in an eye-opening and practical way, with methods that make a difference.

She got her BA in Psychology at Simon Fraser University in 1993. Upon graduation, she stretched her wings and flew into her first adventure in Canada’s Great White North (Whitehorse, Yukon Territory) where she lived for 4 years and worked in long-term care as a Recreation Attendant with seniors.

In 1997, Michelle said good-bye to the North (you can leave the Yukon, but the Yukon never leaves you) to begin a new life chapter (and grad school) in Calgary, Alberta where she has lived, worked and played ever since.  She completed her Masters in Kinesiology in 1999 with a specialization in Exercise and Functional Fitness AND Exercise and Health Psychology. She took that degree (and her energy) and focused it on:

• teaching in the Phys Ed department at Mount Royal College (now MR University)
• working as the Fitness Director at two major fitness clubs in Calgary
• personal training a diverse range of clients and teaching fitness classes
• writing articles for fitness publications
• and building her  career as a professional speaker

In 2001 Michelle joined the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and 4 years later took that part-time passion and launched her full-time career as a Professional Speaker. She’s never looked back. 5 years after ‘going full time’ – in July of 2010 – she was recognized as a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the speaking profession's highest earned designation currently held by less than 10% of the global federation.

Michelle has been speaking professionally for over 15 years now. She has spoken all across North-America to diverse audiences sharing her energetic, authentic and entertaining messages of work-life balance, health, energy and productivity!

She’s written three books, creates fun and educational videos for her youtube Energy TV channel with the help of her brilliant photographer/videographer husband Ewan Nicholson, posts regular blogs, weekly e-spiration email tips and daily Energy Tips via Twitter and Facebook (click the links to add her to your network). Oh, and she is a Certified Professional Co-Active Life Coach who can help you live a healthier, happier, more fulfilled life.
