Transformational Women-Centered & Business Design Coach
“Daphne has an innate ability to make people feel safe and heard.
She is able to listen and remain curious even when confronted with drastically different points of view. She is reflective and thoughtful, and often, because of her deep listening, is able to reflect back to people things that they hadn’t yet seen in themselves.
The potential for these skills in the world is huge. We all lose track of ourselves—our personal, spiritual or business selves. Daphne can offer folks struggling with any of these things the perspective and
insight to make the positive changes they want to make in their lives.
She is also great at assimilating a ton of information into an action plan that reflects a client or friend’s expertise rather than her own. This skill feels more rare to me—to be a practitioner who truly keeps her ego out of the mix and helps others find their way to their better selves.”
I am a transformational women-centered coach, business design strategist, and sacred space holder, dedicated to helping women reclaim their power, trust their truest selves, and design businesses and lives that align with their deepest values.
My work is for women who feel the pull toward something more—more impact, more prosperity, more creative expression—but aren’t sure how to bridge the gap between where they are and where they long to be.
Why I’m the Coach to Lead This Journey
I’ve spent over two decades studying human behavior, designing experiences, and helping organizations shape their businesses and services. I hold degrees in Business and Information Science from the University of Michigan, specializing in human-centered design and how we make sense of the world. My background in user experience, start-ups, large organizations, and higher education gives me a unique perspective on designing not just businesses, but deeply fulfilling lives.
But credentials alone don’t create transformation. My real expertise comes from walking this path myself.
My Journey – I’ve Been in Your Shoes
I know what it’s like to feel successful on the outside yet deeply misaligned on the inside.
When my business partner retired in 2023, I found myself at a crossroads. After six years of building a thriving business, the thought of returning to a traditional job felt deflating. At the same time, I had spent my career pushing against structures that never quite fit me. I wanted more ease, more alignment, and more impact—but I didn’t yet trust that I could create it on my own terms.
That moment of uncertainty became my turning point. I discovered Women-Centered Coaching, trained under Dr. Claire Zammit in a research-based methodology that has helped over 50,000 women create prosperity and impact. This work changed me. It helped me break through a lifelong belief that I wasn’t “good enough”—a belief that had followed me despite all my external success.
I transformed self-doubt into clarity, hesitation into confidence, and uncertainty into a deep knowing that I was meant to do this work.
Alongside this transformation, I followed a calling that had been within me for years—the path of the Priestess. For the past 13 months, I have been in Priestess training, a journey rooted in deep feminine wisdom, nature-based cycles, and the power of holding sacred space. This year, I will be initiated as a Priestess of Avalon, a threshold moment that honors my commitment to walking this path with integrity and devotion.
Through this journey, I have deepened my ability to attune to the natural rhythms of life, honor the cycles of transformation, and help women reconnect with their own inner seasons of growth, release, and expansion. Whether it’s a time for planting new seeds, nurturing a vision, or stepping fully into the harvest of one’s work, I guide women to move in harmony with their own timing and truth.
While I do not yet bring these practices directly into my coaching, they are woven into my presence, the way I hold space, and the depth of transformation I facilitate.
Today, I wake up every day feeling aligned, on purpose, and profoundly grateful that I get to guide other women through their own awakenings.
Why I’m Passionate About This Work
I believe that women are the missing key to a more just, thriving world. We are all beautiful and necessary threads in the tapestry of life, and when women reclaim their power—when they trust their inner knowing, own their unique gifts, and build lives and businesses in alignment with their truth—we shift the scales.
But too often, we hold ourselves back. We over-give, second-guess, and wait for permission to take up space. That ends here.
I am fiercely committed to guiding women from self-doubt to sovereignty, from exhaustion to ease, from hesitation to a full-bodied YES.
Whether you’re launching a business, scaling a venture, or stepping into leadership, our work together is about designing from the inside out—building a life and business that flow with who you truly are, rather than forcing yourself into someone else’s model of success.
This isn’t just coaching. It’s a reclamation.
It’s about you stepping fully into the power, pleasure, and brilliance of your authentic, thriving self.
Are you ready? Let’s begin.
