Feeling stuck?

Have you got a general sense that you could (maybe should?) be taking better care of yourself, but you're not sure where to start?

OR you're on the path, but unsure which fork to take next?

Yeah, that happens a lot.

Good news is, I can help!

Even better news?! 

There's a promo for kicking off this brand new offer.  For the first 10 Roadmap Sessions sold I've dropped the price to $100 (after that it goes to $198)

What's a Roadmap Session?

The WELLNESS ROADMAP is a tool to guide your process of self development and growth.

Imagine you met an experienced personal trainer, wellness coach, and happiness expert at a cocktail party and you hit it off.  What would you ask them?  What advice would you seek?  What burning questions would you get their $.02 on?

That's me!  

Who is this for?

This is a great session for you if:

• You're just starting to figure out how to take care of yourself.  Maybe you're confused with so many influencers pushing content or you're not sure what to prioritize.
• You've been trying for a while but what you're doing isn't working.  You're not sure why it isn't or what's changed and you need an expert set of eyes to tease it out.
• You had a big change in your life or a set back and you're struggling to get back on the path.  You could use a coach to help with motivation.

What can we work on?

A few common challenges I help clients tackle:

• Better sleep habits
• Changing your lifestyle after a medical diagnosis
• Healthy weight management
  (instead of crash dieting and gaining it all back)
• Movement and exercise for mental health and wellbeing
• Sorting out confusing wellness content you saw online
• Connecting with your body
• Building more positive emotions

What do you get?

For your investment you'll receive:

1 - 90 minute session where we look at your lifestyle, goals, and obstacles.  I'll teach you important information about what's going on and we'll make a plan together

Your personalized Wellness Roadmap (via Google Docs)

Why listen to me?

Hi, I'm Darlene!

(Scroll down for all the credentials and stuff.  They're important - but they're only part of the reason smart, growth-oriented people like yourself work with me.)

I've been in The Helping People Business for 13 years - but my journey starts earlier than that.  When I was 23 I was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that affects my joints & told to prepare myself for a life on the couch.  That didn't sound very fun to me ~ so I set off to learn everything I could about the care and maintenance of my body.  I intuitively knew that if I could keep healthy and strong at least I'd have a shot of doing all the things I wanted to do.  That led me into the fitness industry and I spent the next years as a personal trainer.  And a pretty good one if-i-do-say-so-myself (don't only take my word for it... my clients were happy, too.)

In my mid 30s some personal challenges helped me realize: I'd spent most of my life focused on surviving.  I grew up in poverty, was the first in my family to get a 4 year degree, and then the onset of my illness - I knew what it was like to get through hard times.  I worked hard to make sure I didn't go back there - I knew how to survive.  

About that time I was introduced to Positive Psychology & the science of wellbeing.  I experienced a massive shift in belief and mindset ~ and the resulting transformational growth changed my life and the lives of my clients.

I realized many of the people I had trained and coached over the years were stuck.  Stuck surviving instead of thriving.

I felt so strongly about it that I got a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.  Seriously!  My grandfather didn't finish the 5th grade and here I was a teaching assistant to Dr Martin Seligman!  

Since then I've been helping clients not just figure out the right habits, but shift their thinking to make more successful and sustainable change.
