My Story...My Why
I have been on a journey these past few years that has changed my ideas, beliefs, outlook, and ultimately - my life.
Not all of my days are perfect by any means; however, my days are now filled with positive experiences and I am stretching myself in ways I never thought possible.
I grew up with a very strong work ethic and high expectations. I tried my best to give everything to my work and my family; leaving little for myself - I was exhausted and stuck in a never ending cycle. It took its toll on my outlook and overall well-being.
Now, I can see how setting boundaries, giving myself permission to take care of myself, and improving my inner dialog not only impacts my relationships and career but creates a more peaceful me!
Blessings, Dena
I approach situations differently...
ultimately guiding you toward your desires and dreams both personally and professionally.
My clients are amazed how easy it is to make small changes that lead to impactful results. After a few weeks they see accomplishments, mind-shifts, and are excited for the future.
It is my heartfelt desire to create a nonjudgemental and safe space where you will feel heard and supported.
I currently work as a Wellness Coach with a Health Care System (which I am employed by) and for myself outside of those hours with my own company.
I love helping people. I would love to help YOU live Your Best Life!
On a side note:
My husband and I have raised three independent children who are now grown and living successful lives of their own.
