Book IWD Speaker: Dr. Michelle Clay, DO

Physician, Best-Selling Author & Transformational Speaker Guiding Women Through Life, Leadership & Midlife Transitions with Grace & Ease

Dr. Michelle Clay is a Physician, best-selling author, and transformational speaker guiding women through life, leadership, and midlife transitions with grace, ease, and embodied confidence.

In today’s world, women are navigating more change than ever—career evolution, leadership pressure, caregiving roles, hormonal shifts, identity changes, and the emotional toll of living in constant motion. Dr. Michelle specializes in helping women understand what these transitions do to the nervous system, hormones, and decision-making capacity, and how to move through them without burnout, self-betrayal, or disconnection from themselves.

With a rare blend of medical science, holistic wisdom, and lived experience, Dr. Michelle reframes stress not as a personal failure—but as a physiological signal of unmanaged transitions. Her work empowers women and organizations with physician-guided tools that restore regulation, clarity, and sustainable vitality—at work, at home, and in leadership.

She is the Founder & CEO of FREEALITEA®, a physician-curated wellness brand offering premium loose-leaf herbal teas and transformational wellness experiences rooted in nervous system support, natural hormone balance, and intentional living. Through FREEALITEA and her global speaking engagements, Dr. Michelle helps women—especially those over 40—navigate menopause, stress, and change with confidence, compassion, and calm.

A graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Michelle is also a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Clinical Nutritionist. She bridges evidence-based medicine with ancestral wisdom, continuing her great-grandfather’s Native herbal legacy while grounding her work in modern physiology and practical application.

Known for her warmth, clarity, and depth, Dr. Michelle creates spaces where audiences feel seen, safe, and equipped. Her talks blend science, storytelling, and actionable ritual—leaving participants with tools they can apply immediately to lead, thrive, and live well on purpose.
