About me
I partner with women diagnosed with autoimmune conditions to become champions for their lives AND powerful advocates for healthcare change.
I also help organizations create healthier, more productive workplaces
through autoimmune awareness, health literacy, and strategic wellness programs that reduce costs while empowering employees.
Why do I care? Five autoimmune diseases forced me to become my own health detective and workplace advocate. Through trial, error, and relentless self-advocacy, I transformed from feeling powerless to thriving despite chronic illness. This journey revealed how broken our healthcare system is – and how unprepared most workplaces are to support employees with chronic conditions. Now I help individuals reclaim their health AND help organizations create the supportive environments I wish I'd had.
Testimonials
Together we can discover positive strategies and the support you need.
I am fortunate to have met Dez, and benefited from her coaching! I am growing personally and enjoying my life more. Sure, there are still challenges, yet with reassurance, guidance, and feedback, I feel safe and secure in making changes. Dez is supportive and nonjudgmental, that she's a delight to work with, even when I need some redirection. Working with her has exceeded my expectations!
Coaching is truly a gift, and for me, especially a life changer!
Dez is my first experience working with a coach and I am pleased to report it has been and is most beneficial. I am now noticing when I am caught in negative thinking. Dez really listens and helps me solve my own problems. Working with Dez is giving me confidence to be me.
They've improved my motivation by "forcing" me to set goals, and then working to create smaller steps to move towards the goal, rather than just defining the starting point and the endpoint. This makes things much more realistic. Confidence-wise, it's much easier to achieve realistic, smaller goals, and that's helpful.
My health is improving because I'm able to focus on a goal and keep improving on it until it becomes a habit.
