Micheline Green

Micheline has been pursuing her developmental edges since she was a child. This has given her plenty of experience in the precarious and often messy process of change, uncertainty and disruption.

Micheline grew up in Montreal, Canada, and as a kinesthetic learner, needed to use her physical body in order to learn best. This ultimately served her well in her athletic pursuits. At 19 years old, Micheline played rugby for the Canadian women’s national team, and at 21, she kicked-off the first Women’s Rugby World Cup in Cardiff, Wales. This experience provided her a deep appreciation for what a group of people can accomplish when they work together, united with care, toward a common goal. 

Micheline felt a similar unity and cohesion when she was first introduced to ICC in 2010. She experienced the seamless support and the heart-centered care of people united by the goal to alleviate suffering in the world, one individual at a time. Micheline graduated as an Integral Master Coach™ in 2014, taught by Joanne Hunt and Laura Divine. She feels blessed to have had the experience of their dynamic dance together and she carries Joanne and Laura’s many teachings forward in her own warmhearted, down-to-earth, sincere approach to teaching.

Micheline has a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Social Sciences and a Master’s degree in Educational Counseling, and she continues to stretch her edges. She is a full-time coach, and a passionate course creator for her online business Rising Together Academy. Drawing upon her work with Montessori and Waldorf schools, she created the Conscious and Connected Parenting program to support parents around the world in developing their inner resources to be more able to skillfully harness the transformative power of love while in the tension of their children’s most difficult behaviors.  Most recently, she completed her third course for young adults, a course that supports them to discover their inner compass to navigate their life. 

Micheline lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her two aging, but happy, hiking partners, Summer and Sky.  Her three adult-children are blessed and released, and are following their passions and purpose. Micheline’s “happy place” is creating and facilitating a safe container for individuals and groups to come together in exploration of their complex inner worlds. Micheline supports that explorative practice with compassion, tenderness and deep, heartfelt care.
