What clients are saying…

“Michaela has supported me in taking tangible steps to address current challenges I’m facing in my role while also creating the container to think more expansively about my trajectory in the larger movement ecosystem. As a younger person doing social change work, our sessions have provided a vital space for me to navigate burnout, reflect on my progress, and vision forward.”

Nina W., individual coaching client

“Michaela’s coaching over the last six months was instrumental to helping me figure out my professional next steps. After over a decade of work in the environmental and political space, I was in need of a new direction. Michaela’s patience, curiosity, and tools for accountability helped me bring into focus the things that bring my life the most joy, both personally and professionally. Thanks to her support, I was able to craft a vision for my next steps, and determine the qualities I was looking for in my next job- which ultimately helped land me my next two roles!”
