Mikelle Deck, M.S.Ed. is the founder of Aligned Minds Consulting, a transformative consulting
firm that provides mindfulness and emotional intelligence tools to help youth thrive mentally,
emotionally, and academically. She earned her Master’s in Education from Utica University and
undergrad at SUNY Brockport and has over a decade of hands-on experience supporting
student growth and well-being.
Mikelle has spent 200+ hours training in Costa Rica, immersing herself in mindfulness, yoga,
and holistic healing practices that she integrates into her work with young people. For the past
5+ years, she’s worked directly with hundreds of students through the Young Scholars program
in the Utica City School District, where she’s turned theory into daily practice.
In addition to her work in education and youth development, Mikelle is a former e-commerce
entrepreneur, having successfully run and sold a crystal-based wellness brand for multiple
years. She has also released original writing materials focused on emotional wellness and is
currently working on her debut full-length book.
When she’s not teaching or consulting, Mikelle enjoys playing softball and golf, and spending
time outdoors with her fiancé, daughter, and their French Bulldog. She brings warmth,
authenticity, and a results-driven approach to every space she enters—whether it’s a classroom,
practice field, or consulting session
