How Debra Partners with the World’s Leading Wellness Destinations
For Wellness Resorts, Hotels and Cultural Institutions

CLIENT NOTES
Reflections from women who’ve moved through this work
— Jill, Philanthropy Executive
“This is the only space where I can bring every part of myself—ambitious, uncertain, intuitive—and still feel powerful. Debra creates a container where truth and strength coexist. It’s where my leadership feels most whole.”
— Pamela, Global Brand Leader
“Working with Debra is like having a mirror that reflects not just where you are, but where you’re headed. She sees patterns and possibilities before they take shape. Every conversation leaves me clearer, more centered, and better equipped to lead.”
— Louise, Founder & CEO
“The space Debra creates is unlike any I’ve been in—thoughtful, strategic, deeply human. For the first time, I didn’t feel the need to edit or perform. Every part of me was welcome, and that made the work not just insightful, but liberating.”
— Salon Guest, Creative Director
“I came to the course thinking I’d gain new insight into my patterns. What I found instead was a new way of leading. The work helped me realign with what actually matters—and from that place, everything shifted. I no longer lead from effort or expectation, but from alignment. It’s a quieter kind of power, and a far more effective one.”
— Self-Guided Course Participant
“The world was moving fast, and so was I—until I realized speed had become my default, not my choice. Working with Debra slowed me down in the most transformative way. In stillness, I could finally hear my own knowing. Decisions became simpler, actions more intentional. What I gained wasn’t just insight—it was authority over my own pace, my own power.”
— Christina, Investor & Board Chair
