“Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We feel more alive. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation and healing.” --- Jon Kabat-Zinn

About the presenter:
Deb began her professional journey as a scientist—earning her degree in Organic Chemistry and building a career in the pharmaceutical industry grounded in precision, inquiry, and evidence-based thinking.
But life, as it often does, brought a turning point.
Just before a major crisis involving one of her children, Deb discovered mindfulness. What began as a curiosity soon became a lifeline. The practices didn’t fix everything—but they helped her stay present through the chaos, breathe into uncertainty, and show up with a steadiness she hadn’t known was possible.
That experience changed her. It reshaped how she parented, how she worked, and how she related to herself. Mindfulness, she realized, wasn’t just about stress relief—it was about transformation.
In 2016, Deb completed advanced teacher training with UK-based mindfulness expert Shamash Alidina. Since then, she’s guided hundreds of individuals through her signature 9-week master class, Inner Leadership®, which blends mindfulness and self-compassion to foster clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
As her work deepened, Deb felt called to support people in a more personalized way. She became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), supporting clients with practical tools and compassionate presence as they navigate change and reconnect with their inner clarity.
Today, she works with clients navigating burnout, transitions, and moments of feeling stuck—helping them reconnect with what truly matters and move toward lives that feel purposeful, spacious, and sustainable.
Deb holds a special place in her heart for women balancing professional ambition with personal responsibility. She is passionate about helping them break through self-limiting beliefs and the internal glass ceilings that keep them from fully stepping into their power—guiding them to rediscover their passions and create empowering, values-aligned paths forward.
Whether in corporate, educational, or wellbeing settings—or through one-on-one coaching—Deb’s work invites transformation from the inside out.
