As the founder and lead steward of Fierce Allies, Miakoda spent the last two decades training facilitators and supporting individuals, teams, organizations, and coalitions to build trust and accountability across seemingly insurmountable divides. Their devotion to this work is renewed each time they witness clients transform challenges into wells of love, wisdom, and wholeness.

Miakoda’s approach to change was born out of their personal and professional experience in the fields of Transformative Justice, emotional-social intelligence, somatic and ancestral trauma healing, eco-pedagogy, power analysis, and experiential & Popular Education. Through practical application with clients and collaborators, these methods are ever-growing and evolving.
