Grief & Relationship Coaching for Life's Hardest Seasons
Helping women and men navigate loss, relationship struggles, divorce, boundaries, and major life changes with clarity, support, and hope.
A Brighter You Ahead
"Grief is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is a sign that you loved."
About Deanna
A Guide Who Has Walked This Path
I'm Deanna, a certified life coach with a heart for helping people through grief, relationship struggles, and major life changes.
My path to coaching became deeply personal after losing my daughter, Shaniah, at just 13 years old. That loss changed every part of my life and taught me that grief doesn't follow a timeline, and healing doesn't mean forgetting the person you love.
Over the years, I've also learned how deeply relationships, marriage, heartbreak, boundaries, and family dynamics can affect every part of who we are. Sometimes we need support not because we are failing, but because we are carrying more than we know how to sort through on our own.
Today, I work with women and men who are grieving, struggling in relationships, rebuilding after divorce or heartbreak, setting healthier boundaries, or trying to find themselves again after a difficult season.
My approach is compassionate, honest, and practical. I want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
How We Work Together
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Grief Coaching
Grief coaching is not therapy — it is a forward-focused partnership that honors your loss while helping you navigate the life that continues. Together, we create space for your grief and explore what a meaningful path forward looks like for you.
Relationship & Life Coaching
Heartbreak, divorce, boundaries, family dynamics — these shape who we are. Life coaching helps you reconnect with your values, clarify your direction, and take intentional steps toward a life that feels true — even after everything has changed.
Personal Development
Growth doesn't stop in grief or struggle — sometimes it deepens. Personal development work helps you build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and discover strengths you didn't know you had. This is about becoming more fully yourself.
"There can still be meaning, connection, love, and hope after life changes you."
