We focused on the work issues of the day that needed to be approached smartly. Through this powerful coaching work I began to feel confident aligning my actions to my core values and competencies in ways that helped me sleep better at night.

Every coaching session I have with Deanna is a powerful experience. She is warm, compassionate, and intuitive in a way that makes me feel like I’m conversing with a soul guide. Deanna tracks my ramblings and picks up on things I didn’t realize I said and turns them into thoughtful explorations of what’s really going on. I leave my sessions with wisdom and clarity every time, and it feels absolutely amazing to be so empowered by my own answers. I highly recommend her.

“Coaching conversations with Deanna are unlike any other experience of inner exploration.  We go on a journey together where she listens, then asks questions that lead us deeper into the background and patterns that influence my thinking.  So initially, our canvas becomes much broader. Then narrowing back in on the topic, I see it with new eyes, with more understanding of myself. Deanna’s compassion for the wars we wage with ourselves lessens the weight—we’re all human, we all do it.  Deanna has a huge and unique gift of intuition. If only she could set up shop inside my head!”

— Jan H., Professional Writer, Editor, and Recovering Perfectionist

“From our very first session, Deanna stood out in her approach to coaching. She took big concepts and goals that I wanted to achieve, and broke them down into small, actionable steps that I felt confident I could complete. I left each call feeling energized and motivated from the plan we developed together, and it truly felt like a partnership. From professional development to my personal goals, she was able to offer insight into any area I brought to her. Plus, she’s super fun to talk to and has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend Deanna to anyone considering her services.”
