Deb Sternke, MACMHC
(She/Her) Holistic Life Coach
Hi there!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in daily stress, you don't have to navigate it alone.
My passion for coaching stems from a deep belief in human resilience and personal transformation. I understand the courage it takes to pause, reflect, and actively work toward personal growth. My goal is to create a grounded, supportive, and compassionate environment where you are seen as a whole person mind, body, and spirit.
Together, we will explore the habits, mindsets, and stress patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Rather than focusing solely on top-down thinking, our work combines thoughtful conversation with somatic awareness helping you tune into your nervous system, build self-compassion, and reconnect with your innate clarity. By understanding how daily stressors, culture, and life transitions impact you, we can develop practical tools to help you build resilience, clarify your identity, and step into your personal agency.
Coaching is an empowering, collaborative partnership. You are the expert in your own life; my role as a coach is to offer perspective, ask insightful questions, and introduce somatic practices that illuminate where you are and where you want to go.
I warmly welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities, and I am committed to maintaining an inclusive, culturally responsive coaching environment.
My coaching framework incorporates mind-body awareness, somatic grounding, mindfulness-based practices, and non-clinical Brainspotting tools to support focus and emotional regulation. Wherever you are starting from, our work will be tailored to support your forward-focused goals.
