Distill Your Vision
Hi, I'm Diane
I embrace divine potential and purpose, like a daisy reaching for light at dawn, and inspire others to do the same.
As a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a long-time advocate for tenacity and growth, I understand that true success is about aligning your inner world with your boldest external goals. My experience navigating profound personal and professional transitions has taught me how to harness resilience. If you are ready to stop managing circumstances and start building the life you truly desire—one guided by clarity and self-leadership—let's work together.
Outside of coaching you'll find me:

Our Approach
Whole-System Alignment for Self-Led Living
My coaching is shaped by years of impactful leadership and advocacy in the nonprofit sector, offering a powerful blend of strategic guidance and deep human connection. This foundation has cultivated a profound understanding of tenacity and the key to unlocking true potential for self-led growth, even in the most complex circumstances.
I specialize in coaching individuals through pivotal moments and critical transitions. This includes exploring ambitious growth opportunities, managing professional shifts, or navigating complex personal experiences such as grief, betrayal, or significant health journeys. Your vision is the focus—no vision is too big or too small.
We go beyond linear goal-setting. I guide clients in establishing a bold, clear vision that serves as their true North. We then implement strategic, whole-system coaching to help you begin living into that vision immediately.
The Framework
An Integration of IFS and The Pisgah Coaching Methodology
Built on specialized, trauma-informed methodologies designed for deep, sustainable change., we integrate two powerful systems:
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work: I guide clients in resolving internal conflicts that block progress, allowing them to access their core Self—the inherent source of clarity, confidence, and compassion.
-
The Pisgah Coaching Methodology: This holistic framework starts with a vision and provides a clear, practical roadmap. We engage in a guided exploration of internal influences to liberate the system, and create strategic "mile markers" for your vision. Additionally we can dive deep into your gifts and strengths using the Five Stages of Gift Development.
The Foundation: Your Vision is the cornerstone, supported by coaching for whole-system alignment.
Land Acknowledgment
I would like to acknowledge the traditional homelands of the Dena'ina Athabascan people, upon which I live and work in Anchorage, Alaska. I have drawn nourishment from the healing forces and ancestral wisdom held by the custodians of these lands.
Guiding Principles
Adapted from Pisgah Coaching Institute
-
The client’s vision serves as the anchor point and context for all coaching.
-
The client's innate wisdom is the guiding force in the coaching experience and is valued above any external inputs or protocols.
-
Coaching requires the client's consent at every stage and within each session, and client feedback shapes the journey.
-
Coaching operates with complete acceptance of the client's whole self, treating all aspects with respect and recognizing their potential. It ensures no part is ever bypassed, shamed, or undermined.
-
The focus of coaching is whole-system alignment toward goals, engaging all parts of the client rather than focusing on those already dedicated to the desired outcomes.
-
The coaching approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive, emotional, somatic, and spiritual dimensions.
-
At the core, clients are learning to develop Self-leadership, with Self being the seat of consciousness, possessing qualities like calm, curiosity, and having inherent healing qualities.
-
Coaching embraces the client's full history while illuminating their path toward their desired future.
