Life's Last Wishes

Michelle McFadyen is a real warrior. With ancestral roots in the Nordic and Viking cultures, she epitomises the Warrior Goddess, in these images and in life. Michelle is a writer, an adventurer, a corporate executive, a strengths and conflict coach, a storyteller and founder of Life Support and Life’s Last Wishes. Alongside a business degree, and all the other qualifications you’d expect with a professional career, Michelle is a qualified Counselor, and a Positive Psychology Practitioner. She is also an accredited Strengths Profile Practitioner for both individuals and teams, and a trained Conflict Management Coach. Michelle adventures whenever she can; she loves trekking and to honour this she annually guides groups across the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, she has summited Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mt Kinabalu in Borneo and trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. A 920km solo pilgrimage across Spain on foot kept those fires alive along with a trek along the Kumado Kodo in Japan. Recently Michelle launched a project she’s been working on for a few years, Life’s Last Wishes, one that came about through grief and despair, and through her survival of the 2015 Nepal Earthquake that killed almost 9,000 people. You can read about the earthquake and her other adventures on her blog at: www.lifesupportaustralia. com.
