Bio
I spent 10 years as a public school teacher, working with special education students and regular education students K-12. My career led me to work in multiple levels of education (high school for 2 years, elementary for 4 years, and the last 4 years were spent in the middle school).
By the age of 28, I struggled with multiple disorders and was living a pretty limited life: ADHD, depression, fibromyalgia, and hospitalized multiple times for autoimmune issues. Because of the chronic pain and mental anguish, I was barely able to meet the daily responsibilities of my life.
Feeling broken and helpless, not sure if I was going to participate in my children growing up, I began to seek answers to the medical problems that doctors were not helping me solve. That took me on an incredible health journey, which ultimately led me to the powerful modality of using Sound to improve mental, physical and emotional health.
Once I began attending sound therapy sessions myself, I began to improve in all areas of my life. I was able to get off all medications, and have now lived pain free for
over a year. After living over 8 years in chronic pain, I felt a new level of freedom that I never thought possible.
At the same time, I was seeing the negative impact that Covid had on our society, especially on children and families. I knew that I wanted to help people in a greater way than I could in the classroom, so I began training to be a sound therapist. I also became a certified mindful health coach, giving me an even greater perspective towards overall health. Now, I run a full-service sound immersion studio in St. Peters, Missouri. My goal is to spread the awareness and impact of Sound as a highly-effective and efficient form of self-care.

Michelle Harris
Bio
Michelle Harris has over 25 years of leadership experience with more than half of that time spent at an executive level in high-growth, private equity backed companies. She founded Bosstrack to provide women, new to leadership roles, with the development, support and mentorship she found lacking for new leaders.
Her niche is building high performing teams – she is passionate about developing people and shaping her teams to produce results and grow in their roles.
Often little thought is given to the new tools and perspectives needed to lead and, as a result, new leaders are expected to just “figure things out”. Bosstrack was developed to fill this gap. She has led her teams through financial reorganizations, acquisitions and multi-billion dollar private equity sales. She is
excited to bring this opportunity to new women leaders!
Michelle was a single mom at the age of 19 who took a small break from college to adjust and then moved back to the Philadelphia area to finish college independently with her 1 ½ year old son.
Her determination and resilience along with her passion for continuous learning is a big factor in her rise in leadership so early. When not working to empower women leaders, you can find Michelle in the water, in a photography studio or at a new restaurant. She enjoys photography, scuba diving, free diving, enjoying food and wine and exploring new places. She is a mom to two and wife of a former Marine.
Michelle is also the host of the podcast Her Hype Squad with Bosstrack.
