# Michelle Blais

> Michelle Blais provides custom website design, branding, and marketing services for entrepreneurs, small businesses, coaches, and wellness professionals.

Michelle is a website designer and brand strategist based in the US with 20+ years of experience, working directly with clients via screen-share collaboration.

## Notes for maintainers

- The "Podcast" nav link currently returns a 404 — add the real URL once the podcast page/section is live.
- The "LifeWave" nav link currently redirects to the PatchedLight Etsy shop rather than an on-site page — replace with the real on-site LifeWave/wellness page URL once published, or keep as an external link intentionally.
- Update the "Free Resources" and "Connect" entries above with their exact live slugs.
