In 1995 Michele entered the “Internet Age” as a commercial web designer, a year later, the lure of big money drew her onto the dark side of the Net and she became a designer of pornographic web sites.  After designing one of the first ladies only erotica web sites Michele began building and operating porn sites for people around the world. Her career choice earned her a lot of money but caused her to temporarily sell out on her cherished Italian, Catholic values.

In 1999, her then fiancé walked out on her never to be seen or heard from again, in that five minute phone call, her life came crashing down around her feet. While walking along a beach in south Florida Michele felt the devastating pain

Just minutes before getting ready to take her life, Michele cried out to God begging Him to help her. It was at that very moment on the beach that she felt the seeds of faith and hope planted in her heart.

From that day forward Michele set about undoing the wrong in her life and started dismantling all of the adult web sites she was responsible for. She transformed her ladies erotica site into the Internet’s fist heartbreak community dedicated to helping women survive the devastation of a broken heart by combining faith in The Lord and knowledge of His word to produce an abundance of incredible miracles. As time went on Just4Ladies.com grew to be one of the largest marriage/family restoration ministries online with a whopping 3.2 million visitors every month.

Michele said “There were no churches or organizations that offered marriage or relationship restoration, but I found that almost everyone had singles groups and divorce support, the heartbroken needed a place to go to learn that there IS a solution and a perfect answer and He is Jesus Christ! I decided to build a place where people could bring their broken hearts and broken lives and find the perfect answer”

In 2003 Michele published her first book, “A Course In Heartbreak” (English Mountain Press) and began teaching the 7-step workshop in online classrooms on her web sites and later at local churches.  Michele devoted her life and career to marriage and relationship restoration and developed a marriage restoration coaching program. Unlike many other life coaches she can be found on the side lines of her client’s situations holding their hands through the steps God inspired her to share to reach the ultimate goals of self and marriage restoration. 

Over the course of eight years Michele realized that many of the women she was coaching were dealing with spouses who were addicted to pornography and it wasn’t until late 2005 that she realized how her experience in this seedy industry could help repair and restore the families that were being ravaged by this powerful evil. With three teenage children Michele also realized how pornography was infecting today’s kids and families and wrote her second book “Protecting Those You Love In An X-Rated World” (Bridge Logos) with her pastor Tom Mooty.  With her past experience and sense of humor Michele offers proven steps and solutions for anyone dealing with the issue of porn addiction.

Michele believes that the key to success starts with Jesus, her vision is to reach out to the staggering number of women who are fighting to hold their families together and share the steps and solutions God has inspired her to pass on.

In January 2003 Michele married her husband Michael, an angel sent straight from heaven and they moved from Palm Beach County, Florida to East Tennessee where they live in a home nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Michele, Michael and their three children: Ashley, Cassie and Louie have found heaven on earth in their quiet little country town.
