Michelle’s keynote speech to ISC young men and women, and their parents, was uniformly and exceptionally well-received. It was touching and uncommon. Michelle will always have a place in our hearts for who she is and what she does. Her true light shone that evening.

I am so glad Michelle shared her music and spirit. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

In a world filled with “cookie cutter” recording artists, Michelle Chappel stands head and shoulders above the crowd.

Michelle’s music heals. I haven’t seen anything like Michelle since I interviewed Shakti Gawaiin (author of Creative Visualization), and John Gray (author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) before he made it big. She’s a star.

I am impressed with Michelle’s CD (Simple Graces). I particularly like “So Disappointed.”

The attractive woman has a goal to help others through her music, as well as her work in her chosen educational focus. Her all-original CD is titled “Shake It Up,” and it really is more than refreshing. A number of Chappel’s songs have hit written all over them. I especially like “Flying Free.”

Michelle’s creativity transforms lives. In her workshops, music, and consulting, she touches our hearts to reveal powerful new possibilities.

Everybody loved Michelle! Her music and style is really uplifting and she is truly an entertainer!!! We should all get degrees in psychology to know how to interact with our audiences so well!!!

The message that we should be who we really are permeates Michelle Chappel’s music. She instructs us not to mold ourselves to fit the expectations of our parents, teachers, bosses, or anyone else, but instead to realize our authentic selves. This message follows and amplifies the greatest psychologists and counselors of the 20th century—people like Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and Viktor Frankl.

The songwriting (SHINE) is strong and Michelle has a fantastic sound that occasionally reminds me of Lucinda Williams whom I used to go hear at bars in Austin before she became a star.
