You're on Your Way

This is how I can support you:

Private Coaching

If you are a leader, have a spiritual practice that informs your life, and your work is intertwined with your lifestyle choices and your purpose, private coaching will help you live a more grounded life, and to reveal bold possibilities. You’ll discover your innermost desires and develop tools and strategies to increase your income, deepen your aliveness, and expand your impact.

Book a Free 90 min coaching session

Coaching is a sacred space – one we co-create, beginning with an initial call to explore what you want to create for yourself, what stands in your way, and how coaching might support your path forward. Based on that call, we assess next steps: you might be complete. I might not be the right coach for you. Or we move forward together. One way or another: you will be served.

What 0thers say:

“Working with Dina has amplified my coaching practice, my work as a performing musician, and my personal life. We dove deep into the inner work and healing, a truly humbling and vulnerable experience. Because I was willing to look inward, not only was I able to substantially increase the income from my coaching practice, but I have begun to look at setbacks and failures in a completely different way.

Many of the opportunities I created this year to grow my business were things I would have never considered or dared to do prior to my work with Dina. She boldly but gently leads you out of your comfort zone so that you can manifest your vision for a thriving community and an artful life.”

Kristin Nakagawa

“Dina-Marie’s work creates a platform that expands the universe of artistic possibilities. It is a lighthouse for those rising artists and leaders that really want to make an impact on their communities and the world.”

Samuel Vargas

“Working with Dina-Marie was one of the best investments I’ve made in my entire career. Dina-Marie stepped into my career with a broder mindset and approach around communicating my impact as an artist, an unbreakable belief in the entrepreneur inside of me, and her experience in what it’s like to create a career of genuine impact.”

Andres Martin

“Dina-Marie’s coaching has filled in the gaps that were left by my traditional conservatory training and taught me the skills needed to succeed as an entrepreneurial civic-artist.”

Chaz Salazar

“Dina-Marie … compels you to succeed, as she is acutely aware the work it takes to found an organization is not easy … With Dina’s support, I was able to identify new methods of growing; both with the Polaris Orchestra, as well as my leadership skills. It is not always that you find the holistic package, but Dina-Marie brings that to the table and more!”
