About Our Founder: Alicia Michelle
Alicia Michelle - Founder of Koi Consulting
“Sometimes, you don’t realize how much you’re missing peace until you hit a breaking point. That was me. After years of living in chaos, I finally saw it clearly: peace isn’t something you stumble into - it’s something you create.
But that realization didn’t come overnight.
I’ve built my career around supporting business leaders in refining the systems behind the scenes. Those experiences gave me an up-close look at how chaotic and overwhelming running a business can feel without clarity and structure.
It was during that time that I realized what I was truly passionate about: helping leaders create the peace, intention, and alignment they need to thrive. I’ve seen what happens when businesses run reactively instead of intentionally, and I’ve made it my mission to help others step out of the chaos and build something better.
At the same time, my personal journey taught me the power of breaking cycles and taking ownership of your story. At 17, I left home to create a better future for myself. I’ve faced challenges that could have broken me, but I’ve used those experiences to build a life filled with purpose - and I’ve dedicated myself to showing others how they can do the same.”

Why I Do This Work
“I know what it feels like to wake up every day overwhelmed, unsure of the next step, and stuck in survival mode. I also know the joy and freedom that come from finally stepping into alignment with your values, goals, and vision.
I’ve walked through the fire, and I’ve learned lessons that I now share - so others don’t have to learn them the hard way.
Through all the challenges I’ve faced, my faith in God has been my anchor. It’s what has carried me through the hardest seasons and reminded me that even in the darkest moments, there is purpose and light ahead. I believe that no matter where you are right now, there’s a way forward - one filled with clarity, intention, and hope.
Today, I’m a mom to a wonderful little boy and deeply grateful to share my life with my amazing fiancé and our dog Obi (yes, like Wan Kenobi 😊). Their love and support remind me every day of the beauty that comes from living intentionally and leading with purpose.
For me, success is about more than financial freedom. It’s about building stability and generational wealth while creating time for what matters most: family, rest, joy, and making a lasting impact. I want to show others that hustle doesn’t have to be permanent—and that it’s possible to design a life and business you love. Little Alicia wouldn’t believe the life she’s living now.”

Here’s what I want you to know:
“You don’t have to do it all. It’s okay to ask for help.
The world (and your business) won’t fall apart if you’re not in every little piece of it.
You can step out of the chaos and move forward - intentionally, and without guilt.
I help visionary CEOs and business leaders like you find clarity and direction. My approach is about helping you untangle the overwhelm, identify what matters, and create a plan that aligns with your goals and values.
I am not about bandaids or cookie-cutter solutions. I’m about helping you building a foundation for long-term clarity and success that feels right to you - redefining the word selfish when it comes to your own life.”

My Approach
“I believe life and business are deeply connected, and the key to success is designing both with intention. My approach blends strategy and empathy, looking at your business and life holistically. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, refocus on your priorities, and create strategies that support your vision.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, I help you ask better questions, uncover blind spots, and make intentional decisions that reflect the life and business you want to build.
Clients often tell me I make things clearer, calmer, and more peaceful. I help them move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control, empowered, and aligned with their purpose.”

Who I Am Outside of Work
“I’m someone who believes in creating balance - between joy, growth, and the quiet moments that make life meaningful. I love classic art, instrumental music, cooking, exploring different cultures, and my local Japanese gardens. These places and experiences remind me of the peace and intention I strive to cultivate in everything I do.
But I also love the fun stuff: reality TV (Married at First Sight is my favorite), gaming, anime, and a great book.
My philosophy? Give yourself grace and protect your peace. It’s a mindset I practice every day, knowing that small, intentional steps lead to big transformations.”
What I Believe
Life is yours to design. You alone have the power to create a life and business that align with your purpose.
Struggle isn’t permanent. Every season has its challenges, but they don’t last forever. You can create something better.
Grace and patience are essential. Growth is never linear, and that’s okay. Big change happens one intentional step at a time.

My vision is to help more people lead with intention, build businesses that serve their lives, and empower others to thrive. If you’re ready to simplify, align, and thrive, let’s connect.
