About me

Hi, I’m Deanna — educator, breathwork practitioner, wellness coach, and a believer that life flows better when we pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.

 

For over 30 years, I have worked in education, teaching English around the world and helping people find their voices, build confidence, and take the next steps.

 

Along the way, I earned my B.Ed., pursued graduate studies, and advanced certifications in breathwork and coaching, deepening both the science and the soul of my work.

 

Most importantly, I discovered how much I love guiding transformation, whether in a classroom, workshop, or retreat setting.

 

Breathwork found me during the birth of my sons and again through seasons of grief and reinvention. It became my anchor, helping me move from overwhelmed to grounded, from busy to clear.

 

Today, it’s the heart of my work.

 

I guide individuals and organizations through practical, science-informed breathwork experiences that reduce stress, restore clarity, and create space for creativity, connection, and meaningful change.

 

Through workplace wellness sessions, VIP days, retreats, and 1:1 sessions, I create spaces that are grounded, supportive, and a little bit playful.

 

Think calm nervous systems, clearer thinking, and people feeling human again.

 

Some people come for simple stress relief and focus. Others explore intuition and deeper personal growth. Either way, the approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and always tailored to you.

 

Forever an educator, I don’t just guide sessions — I teach tools you can carry into everyday life.

 

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me chasing sunsets, experimenting with cacao treats and kitchen creations, planning slow family adventures or future travels, or mapping out dreams and goals in journals and an ocean of sticky notes.  

 

I believe wellness should feel simple, joyful, and real, not another item on the to-do list.

 

If you’re ready to explore what support could look like for you or your team, I’d love to connect.
