Are you heart-broken by the injustice in the world but not quite sure how to meaningfully respond? 

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Alternatingly guilty and then numb?

You are ready to change this.

You want to feel clear-eyed, connected, and powerful in your justice work.

If only you could have confidence in your ability to weather the storms of these reckoning times - to feel invigorated and excited by “the work” - and to do it with a sense of replenishment that doesn’t exclude your own wellbeing…

I understand and I can help.

It is possible to be in right relationship with your colleagues, neighbors, and the earth.

To sleep well at night, knowing that you’re using your precious life force in meaningful, reparative ways. To be right-sized in the struggle for justice: humble and yet still made of star stuff.

I help my clients move beyond feelings of guilt and overwhelm into a deeper understanding of the forces that got us here, and an expanded, living sense of connection with their own power to heal and to work with others to bring about the world we need.

This allows you to wake up knowing that you’re doing impactful work that moves us towards justice every day. To live a life that’s filled with purpose, connection, and joy. 

You experience a deeper sense of freedom as you shed the oppressive conditioning you’ve internalized. You enjoy nourishing relationships with your communities and the earth which make you feel excited to be alive and “on path.”

You settle into greater confidence in your ability to weather the storms of these truth-telling times.

You experience flow. Peace of mind. Replenishment. You’re invigorated and actually excited by “the work.”

You expand your self-love which, you come to understand, naturally includes advancing self-determination for all oppressed people and protecting the earth. 

The level of intimacy and trust in all of your relationships, including with yourself, skyrockets.

You feel like the kick-ass human that you are, knowing that you are leaving a better, more healed world for the next generation of young people, whether you have children or not! 

You stand proudly in your power. You have become right-sized, knowing that you are significant in the story of the world: no better or worse than anyone else.

And this feels amazing.

“In this particular historical moment, when acute exhaustion and suffering abound on so many levels, Michelle was able to strike a balance between focusing on our personal work and facing and acting to solve our pressing political issues. Her breadth and depth of knowledge set a tone of real possibility.

Here is what I have to say about whether you should work with, hire, consult or collaborate with her: do it. Do it now.”
