Michelle Puckett

Hi y’all, I’m Michelle. I’m a Social Justice Coach who works with people who feel alone, overwhelmed, or stuck in their work and/or activism. I help them heal from oppressive conditioning and self-doubt so that they can be their most powerful, connected, change-making selves.

As a working class white woman from the South, I’ve been consciously unearthing and working through my own experiences, as both oppressed and oppressor, for my entire life. I’ve spent over 20 years doing emotional and somatic anti-oppression work as a peer counselor.  I’ve organized for social change through electoral, non-profit, and direct action work for over 25 years, everywhere from my home state of Texas, to my current home in the Bay Area. I know how to help people build powerful, connected relationships of solidarity that can withstand the pressures of the reckoning times we are living in, to help bring about the just world we so desperately need.

I’m certified as a Life, Leadership, & Executive Coach through the Institute for Coaching Excellence, and I hold an A.C.C. credential from the International Coaching Federation.
