Welcome, Business Creatives, Professionals, and Neurodivergent Extraordinaires!
Hello and welcome! I’m Michelle, your guide with over 30 years in music, media, tech, and IT.
I’m excited you’re here. As your advocate, I aim to transform your journey into something more fulfilling and less stressful and make what may seem impossible entirely within reach.
At Mischemix, we recognise that everyone’s journey is unique, with unique challenges, situations and needs. We also understand the importance of feeling supported, especially when making decisions. So, where possible, aim to relieve unnecessary pressure or anxiety.
At Mischemix we don't just offer support; we tailor it to fit your needs and circumstances, then make it accessible to fit your schedule and budget. Ensuring you get what you need however you need it, when you need it. Our customised approach incorporates coaching, consulting, mentoring, and training. This flexibility allows us to offer you options that genuinely suit your needs, simplifying decision-making. And why
we will ask you to input on specific areas. We value your perspective and always interested to hear your thoughts and feelings, because your experience matters greatly to us. Your working style, preferences and needs are important to understand as we've seen how minor adjustments can significantly impact efficiency and influence, and we’re here to help you make those accommodations aligned with your authentic self and path.
Looking back to the first lockdown when I had to cancel all my in-person sessions over the coming months. It never occurred to me what negative impact this would have on my mental health. Nor had I considered just how much it kept me alive and afloat week to week - it was more than a studio it was my world and I had no creative outlet! A bit of quick thinking led to utilising the available technology, learning a few new skills, and broadening my abilities, which enabled me to pivot the events side of my business. I took my service online and discovered a brand new international audience of loyal fans. Four years on, those club attendees moved with me and became monthly members or sponsors.
At Mischemix, we don’t just see human potential; we elevate it to new heights.
Little did I realise just how much Mischemix would serve as a perfect space for me pre and post-diagnosis - my business was more than just a sanctuary. It became my perfect stage and has enabled me to inspire, empower support and showcase many other talented individuals. Where they are receiving recognition and gratitude for showing up and displaying their authentic core strengths, abilities and talents.
Whether you have no clue what you need or what might help, if you'd just like a chat and think you would benefit just from having someone walk beside you on this journey, feel I'd like to help in whatever way I can. Connect in whatever way works for you. I hope to help more individuals create a future brimming with understanding, purpose, and joy!
I see you, I hear you, and I'm ready to enrich your human experience. Let me help you amplify the impact you're already making or know you want to make and find your happy place.
Thanks to the diagnosis, the support I've received post-diagnosis and the tools and strategies I've learned along the way. I am honoured to finally be in a position to help others. It is my honour and privilege to be here with you and to serve you!

Not to be confused with your initial enquiry or discovery call, here at Mischemix, we recognize the importance of providing you with comprehensive information upfront.
Understanding what to expect before deciding if we're the right fit for you can significantly reduce anxiety and eliminate frustrations. This is a testament to how we do things differently around here. We hope this overview sets the scene for what you can expect and, at the very least, gives you a glimpse into how it might be for you.
Primarily 1:1, my services are available both online and in person. Whichever you prefer, your first session marks a pivotal step on your journey with us.
Here's what you can expect from me and how to prepare so we can make the most of our time together.
(1) Introduction and Setting Expectations Getting to Know Each Other: If we haven't done so already, we'll take some time to establish a connection to ensure we both feel comfortable. This part of the session will also serve as an overview of how the session will proceed based on everything we've agreed upon up to this point.
(2) Understanding Your Needs This stage of our initial session is pivotal and will strengthen anything that has been discussed before. It allows us to ensure our collaborative focus is crystal clear. It’s a chance to revisit any developments or insights that may have emerged since our last communication, setting a positive and productive foundation for our session and the journey ahead.
This period is dedicated to you—to voice your new challenges and share your goals and aspirations. It fosters an environment of open dialogue, where your needs and objectives are the priority. This conversation is crucial for customising our approach and ensuring that our strategies and solutions are perfectly aligned with your desired outcomes. Our aim is to create a pathway that resonates with your vision and addresses your unique circumstances, paving the way for meaningful progress.
(3) Confidentiality and Safety We’ll review confidentiality agreements and discuss how we ensure your information and discussions remain private. Trust is the foundation of our work together, and we take your privacy seriously. We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols to protect the information you share. During this segment, we’ll explain these measures in detail and address any concerns you may have about the security and confidentiality of your data and our conversations.
(4) Goal Setting (Short-term and Long-term Goals) Establishing clear objectives is crucial in our journey together. A common starting point, even if you are unclear on what those are or what they look like initially. Chances are, we have some breaking down to do to get clear on them and turn them into manageable chunks. This process will help us work through and gain the clarity you need to take the relative action. During this stage, we'll collaborate to pinpoint your goals for our sessions. Whether looking for immediate solutions or long-term transformations, understanding your aspirations will serve as our compass. This clarity guides our sessions and enables us to monitor and celebrate your progress along the way.
(5) Creating a Plan Our strategy will be shaped by the nature and extent of our collaboration—be it a single session or a series of meetings. We'll take the time to discuss and refine your goals, using them as a foundation to construct a basic preliminary plan. This plan will outline our path, including any specific tasks or reflections you might engage with between our sessions. It's about creating a roadmap that is flexible yet focused, designed to navigate through your unique journey and achieve the milestones we set together.
(6) Information Gathering Background Information: Depending on your needs, we may review some background information to understand your situation better. This can include discussing relevant history, current circumstances, and future aspirations.
(7) Assessments or Questionnaires: If applicable, we might use this time to complete any initial assessments or questionnaires. This helps in creating a more tailored approach for you.
(8) Logistics and Administrative Details Scheduling: We’ll discuss and set up our next meeting, aligning on frequency and timing that works best for you. Communication: Establish guidelines on how and when to contact each other between sessions and what is available between sessions to ensure you feel supported throughout the coaching process.
(9) Feedback Mechanism: Your input is valuable. We'll introduce how you can provide feedback about our sessions to ensure they meet your expectations and needs.
(10) Preparing for Your Next Session Reflections or Tasks: You may be given some reflections or tasks to consider before our next meeting. These are designed to start the thought process and make our time more productive. Materials Needed: If there’s anything specific you need to bring or prepare for our next session, we’ll let you know ahead of time.
(11) Making the Most of Your Journey Remember, this first session is just the beginning. It’s about setting the stage for what we hope will be a transformative journey. Feel free to ask questions and express any concerns you might have at any point. We're here to support you, every step of the way.

At the heart of Mischemix is Michelle Shaw, a passionate advocate for neurodiversity with a diverse background spanning a 30year career working with music, media, tech, and IT support. Michelle's journey into understanding her neurodivergence began after two decades of navigating life, work, and relationships without the necessary guidance or support. The discovery of her Autism and ADHD in 2023 provided the clarity she had long sought, highlighting both the challenges and strengths inherent in neurodiversity.
Mischemix is a manifestation of Michelle's belief, in the transformative power of creation when existing solutions fall short. Right from its inception, Mischemix has been fueled by a desire to ensure that human potential is recognized, heard, valued and that differences are celebrated and grown into a powerful force for positive change. Michelle's approach to coaching and consulting is grounded yet vibrant, drawing from her extensive experience in music, media, and tech.
Imagine her as the DJ of her client's lives, expertly mixing the tracks that allow them to move to their rhythms.
In my client's own words...
"Michelle is the TLC and rock you rarely find; she genuinely cares about how you're truly feeling.
Before meeting Michelle, I had little strength and felt really down about my life, desperately needing someone to listen. The first thing that struck me about Michelle was her vibrant energy, strength, and openness about her life, clearly showing her care for people. She made me feel important and understood, providing an instant sense of relief. Her advice and exercises were practical and straightforward, leading to positive results that immediately fulfilled and inspired me.
It's hard to believe how different I felt after just a few hours. Now, I feel 90% stronger and capable of handling the challenges ahead, confident in achieving all my goals, including the fulfilling relationship I truly deserve." — Dee
