About Michelle Von Ruden, CEO of

Von Ruden Coaching and Consulting

I’m Michelle

Hello! I’m Michelle Von Ruden, a dedicated coach, consultant and entrepreneur with a deep passion for helping others reach their full potential. With over 15 years of experience in developing people, managing finances, and overseeing operations, I’ve spent my career guiding individuals and teams toward success.

When I’m not working with clients, I cherish my time with my family. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Mike, for 16 years, and together, we have two incredible children, Hunter, who is 13, and Emily, who is 5. We also share our home with Bandit, our lovable Brittany Spaniel, who keeps us all active and entertained.

One of my favorite pastimes is hiking, a passion deeply rooted in my German heritage. As a child, my family and I would often participate in Volksmarches, spending countless hours exploring nature together. These early experiences instilled in me a love for the outdoors, and to this day, whenever I’m feeling stuck or need a moment of clarity, I find that heading outside and immersing myself in nature always brings me back to center.
