Michelle holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and pursued a master’s degree in Human Nutrition. However, she never completed her thesis but instead wrote 14 books on healthy eating, exercise, and cooking.
She is one of Denmark’s best-selling health authors, with over 120,000 books sold.
In her daily life, Michelle runs her own company (MK), where she and her team are motivate Danes on how how to make health simple and manageable in a busy everyday life, and how small habit changes can lead to significant positive results in the long term.
This is achieved partly through her app, the MK Universe app, which over 250,000 people have downloaded. The app includes everything from workout videos and recipes to fitness and weight loss camps, and more.
In supermarkets, you can find MK ready meals, which are jarred meals rich in vegetables and protein, giving you the taste of a homemade meal in no time during a busy day. In addition to her strong digital presence, Michelle is highly skilled in healthy cooking, creating flavorful dishes for Danish taste buds. Michelle has been working independently, focusing on Danish health, since 2010 and has extensive knowledge of the challenges Danes face in incorporating health into their daily lives. She also works as a consultant for major food companies, guiding them on what to focus on to succeed with their food products. This includes advising on ingredient changes if they want to brand the product as healthy, while adhering to laws that prevent the word “healthy” from being visible in marketing.
Michelle has hosted over 80,000 people at her camps, delivered over 230 lectures, and launched her first podcast in June 2023.
In addition, Michelle was a regular health expert on “Go’ morgen DK” from 2013-2020, wrote the health pages for “Alt for Damerne” in 2017, and penned over 100 fitness and recipe articles for “iFORM” magazine from 2010-2015. In 2012, Michelle was also a regular fitness gear tester for “Politiken”.
Michelle participated in “Vild med Dans” in 2021 and was an expert on “Fede Forhold” in 2020.
In 2023, the MKH2O workout clothing collection was launched with great success, a collaboration between H2O and MK.
On Michelle’s Instagram profile, you’ll find a mix of health inspiration along with glimpses into her private life, where she enjoys sharing everyday joys and challenges, showing corners of her home and summer house, spreading good vibes, and sparking thoughts among her female followers.
In her MK business, Michelle can also create both books and e-books in collaboration with other producers, if desired, and develop recipes for your needs, among other things.
Michelle lives by the lakes in Nørrebro with her fiancée Pernille, has a stepson who is 6 years old, and gave birth to her baby boy in October.
In addition to her apartment in Nørrebro, she also has a summer house in Vejby and loves the garden and nature life it provides.
In terms of fitness, Michelle has run five marathons, many half-marathons, biked to Paris with Team Rynkeby, and continues to train today to stay healthy and mentally strong in a sometimes busy life through strength training and various forms of cardio.
Michelle is a huge fan of winter swimming, finds great peace in nature, and goes on several hiking trips with her partner Pernille throughout the year.
Michelle has always loved colorful outfits, but in the past year, she has found great joy in more subdued natural tones. She is looking forward to feeling stylish and expressing her identity through daily looks again after the birth, once her body fits her wardrobe again.
