About Me

Hello, I’m Deidre, and I’m so honored you’re here. My journey to this point has been a winding one, and I’d love to share a little bit about myself.

I proudly grew up in New Jersey, Exit 7A (IYKYK). I lived there through grad school and have been in a state of wanderlust ever since…having lived in San Diego, Vermont, Boston, and San Francisco. Then I felt a call for something deeper, so my family and I moved to Mexico, where we spent six years between a small beach town and Mexico City.

In Mexico, the slower pace of life gave me space to reconnect with myself and deepen my understanding of conscious living, parenting, and personal transformation. Through Women’s Circles, I also experienced the power of being truly held in community. That sense of connection and shared humanity continues to shape how I hold space for others in my work today.

Outside of coaching, I’m drawn to fiber arts like crochet, macramé, embroidery, and I often use collage as a therapeutic and reflective practice. I love to read, not only to learn, but as a way to slow down in a very busy world. Writing poetry and reading it aloud has also become a surprisingly powerful part of my own growth.

I bring so much of my lived experience into my coaching: navigating infertility, motherhood (twins!), deep personal loss, family addiction, and reinvention. My work is rooted in the belief that when we heal ourselves, we naturally transform the way we show up for our children, our relationships, and our lives.

And…I’m from New Jersey, so I like to keep it real, and I curse a lot. Life is all about balance.

My Coaching Style

My coaching style is warm, direct, and deeply compassionate.

I am both sensitive and down to earth. I can hold space for the hard stuff without making it heavier than it already is. I believe we can be honest about what’s happening, look at the patterns underneath it, and still have a little humor along the way.

I create a space where adults and teens can feel safe enough to be honest, reflective enough to see their patterns, and supported enough to create real change. There is no judgment here, no perfect-parent checklist, and no expectation that you have it all figured out.

Certified Conscious Coach

When I first became a parent, I often struggled to trust my own instincts and felt pulled between what felt right to me and what I thought I was supposed to do. When I discovered the book, The Conscious Parent, by Dr. Shefali, something clicked.

For the first time, I felt permission to parent in a way that felt true to me. This philosophy inspired me so deeply that I went on to attend her Coaching Institute, and I can’t wait to share this approach with you.

A Commitment to Equity

I have a deep commitment to social justice, equity, and advocacy. I believe healing cannot happen in isolation from the systems we live within, and that our experiences are shaped by the environments, relationships, and broader systems around us. Being an ally means continually listening, learning, questioning my own assumptions, and remaining open to perspectives and experiences different from my own. It means recognizing inequities, challenging harmful patterns, and helping create spaces where people feel safe, seen, respected, and valued for who they are.

This awareness is woven into the way I approach both parenting and coaching. I believe in meeting people with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment, recognizing that each person brings their own experiences, challenges, and strengths. Whether working with parents or educators, I strive to look beyond behaviors and consider the larger context, while supporting more inclusive, connected, and compassionate relationships. For me, this work is an ongoing commitment to personal growth, advocacy, and creating spaces where everyone has the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging.
