Welcome, I’m Diane, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
If you’re reading this, chances are something in your life has shifted. Maybe it was sudden—like a loss, a breakup, a health scare. Or maybe it crept in quietly… the feeling of being lost, stuck, or just not you anymore. I get it. I’ve lived it. I’ve walked through deep grief—miscarriages, pet loss, career changes, leaving my home country, and the many invisible losses we carry as women. I know what it’s like to feel like the ground beneath you has vanished, and everyone else seems to be moving on. But here's the truth: You don't have to stay in that place. You get to heal. You get to reset. You get to live what’s next. That journey led me to become a certified Grief & Empowerment Coach, Hypnotherapist, and Grief Recovery Specialist. But more than any title, I’m just a real woman who’s walked through the dark and found the light again—and I’m here to help you do the same. Whether you're carrying deep grief, numbing your way through midlife, or feeling like you've lost sight of who you are... I’m here to walk beside you. This space isn't just about grief. It’s about growth. Reinvention. Reconnection. It’s about choosing how you carry your story—and how you write the next chapter. So if you're ready to stop surviving and start truly living again, you’re in the right place. |

My StoryAs a certified Grief & Empowerment Coach, Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, Hypnotherapist, and Grief Educator, I help midlife women turn pain into purpose, wine into clarity, and grief into growth—so they can reconnect with joy, reclaim their energy, and build a life that finally feels like theirs again.
If you’re unsure about coaching, I get it. I’ve stood in that same place—uncertain, hurting, and wondering if anything could really help.
What I offer isn’t a script or a system—it’s a deeply personal, supportive space where we meet as women who’ve lived through hard things. I offer a free chat so we can connect, see what you need most right now, and decide together if it feels right to work together. This is not about quick fixes. My approach is honest, compassionate, and tailored to you. Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and gently begin the work of healing, reconnecting, and moving forward. If you’re ready to rediscover joy—on your terms—I’m here to walk beside you. You don’t have to do this alone. |

Why Work With a Coach Like Me?Coaching vs. Therapy—What’s the Difference?Is Coaching Right for You?
Let’s talk about what this work is—and what it’s not. My grief and empowerment coaching isn’t therapy, and it’s not a substitute for counseling or mental health treatment. Therapy is a powerful option for deep emotional healing, especially if you’re working through trauma, anxiety, or depression. Coaching is different. It’s forward-focused, practical, and deeply supportive. I meet you where you are—and walk with you toward where you want to be. Whether you're stuck in grief, numbing through midlife, or just aching to feel like yourself again, our work together will give you the tools, space, and encouragement to start shifting things gently but powerfully. Through coaching and hypnotherapy, I help you:
This work is ideal if you’re feeling:
If you’re not looking for a diagnosis—but a real, honest path toward healing and thriving—coaching could be exactly what you need. |

I learned a lot about grief and loss in my 7 week, one to one, Grief Recovery program.
Grief isn’t just about death or divorce- It has made me much more aware of my relationships- past and present. And most likely will help me in the future! It has helped me to be more aware of how I react/ respond to situations and people in my life. I think it has helped me become stronger- and definitely more in tune with my self talk- and how I can actually change it, if need be. It was a really good experience even though there were a few moments that were hard for me to talk about. But I am happy I completed the program- and I will actually continue to use what I’ve learned.

I reached out to Diane when I was going thru a separation from my husband of 18 years. I did her grief recovery program. Diane held my hand thru the process, it was not easy but she made me feel supported throughout the process. Finishing her program I gained a sense of freedom. I highly recommend her program for anyone that is ready to deal with their loss. Thank you Diane!

Di reached out to me last year after I started to suffer from anxiety, something which I hadn’t experienced before. I had to leave a job I loved and as a result found that I was bitter, resentful, miserable and very very low. I felt I couldn’t cope with feeling overwhelmed, My self esteem was rock bottom and I didn’t like who I had become. I will always be so thankful to Di, she enabled me to recognize that I had a choice. I was choosing the way I was reacting to past and present losses but I totally didn’t realize this. I was blaming everyone else. I realized I hadn’t grieved properly throughout my life - my parents splitting up, losing my first child, losing loved ones, my children growing up... I was looking at moving from my job in isolation rather than an accumulation of all-consuming, unresolved grief. The program gave me tools to take back control... I feel empowered and Di gave me strategies for life. Start grieving and start living... Xxxx

I highly recommend Diane's work with Grief. She is compassionate and teaches deep skills that one can take into any area of their life that feel tricky or unsettled. I am grateful that I had the courage and curiosity to reach out. I grew to understand myself in a new way, and I have processed underlying grief that I didn't even know was holding me back from a more complete life. I am forever thankful.

I came to Diane to see if I could find myself. For such a long time I had been immersed in so much pain and grief, and I confess the thought of facing it felt very scary to me. But the moment I stepped into Diane’s office I was immediately put at ease. Diane helped me to feel confident and together we moved through the Grief Recovery Program. She assured me there was nothing wrong with me, that grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind and that I was not to worry about which grief I would tackle first. I felt safe and heard, I trusted the process and I trusted Diane and I was successful in recognizing my incomplete and unresolved grief. I now have a new platform of thought and a potentially different way to live, of which I’m excited to explore. A big hug.

I lost my most beloved pet dog in December of 2021. I was devastated. I felt the same grief that I had experienced when my dad died in 2001! Thankfully I had a conversation with Diane where she mentioned unresolved grief. Unlike psychotherapy, Grief Recovery is a tried-and-true process. Clear and concise, seven weeks of exploration. I began by identifying my first conscious memory. The process guided through the many losses during my lifetime. This might sound overwhelming, yet I discovered that with true forgiveness, the tangled feelings simply unraveled. I am so grateful to Diane for her gentle guidance. I now have the educational tools I need in my toolbox! Forgiveness is truly liberating."
