Hi! I’m Michelle Wax.

Michelle Wax is the founder of The City Retreat and works with humans who know that a life worth living is created by going after their deepest desires and fully experiencing everything that comes with it.

Her clients have experienced the magic of cultivating trust in themselves and the universe to bring their relationship dreams, career dreams, friendship dreams, and lifestyle dreams to life.

Starting with just $300 at age 24, Michelle founded and grew two successful business in the food industry in Boston -- but had one big problem.

She wasn't feeling the happiness or vibrancy that she thought this external success would bring - so she decided to make a huge life shift.

Not many friends or family members understood or agreed with the shift at the time…but she knew she had to make it.

During a future self visualization, Michelle saw a vision of herself traveling the USA and interviewing hundreds of people on how they created happiness and vibrancy in the everyday.

This was the first step in making it a reality.

Six months after this moment, Michelle traveled to all 50 states to interview 500+ people on how they created vibrant, fulfilling & happy lives.

She filmed, produced, and edited this documentary solo (with zero prior film experience) — which is now on Amazon.

Her signature framework you’ll learn when working together, takes all of these discoveries and combines them with unique self growth lenses like astrology & visualization to transform any area of your life and become the creator of your reality.

Michelle has worked with 18,000+ people across the globe — privately and at companies like Robert Half, AT&T, Akamai, and more as well as spoke on the TedX stage.

She is the founder of The City Retreat in South Boston to help women create supportive and energizing friendships while living life vibrantly. She hosts events, retreats, astrology parties, and experiences across Boston and beyond. 

"Vibrant, optimistic, and endurance are words that come to mind when I think of Michelle. She never waivers in these qualities and is able to bring people who surround her up to her level. 

After spending 1 day rehearsing in front of her, I pitched my company on a stage in front of 400 people and won 1st place! That’s the kind of stuff that happens when you are around Michelle Wax."
