Diane is a relational being in a liminal chapter — consciously practicing enoughness moment by moment, without the full exhale that once came from deep, embodied partnership. Her work is shaped by love, loss, and a lifelong devotion to staying awake inside real human experience. 
 

She spent nearly three decades as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor, specializing in women’s trauma, hospice, crisis intervention, dual diagnosis, and advanced trauma recovery, including EMDR and early developmental trauma (the when-there-are-no-words kind). 


She’s been in the room with suffering — the whole room — which is why she has little patience for trendy shortcuts and deep respect for work that lives in the body. 

 

Her path now weaves together: 

  • Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (trained under Brené Brown) 

  • Elder in Dr. Rosalind Watts’ ACER Integration Community 

  • Ongoing study with April Rains, Integration Specialist with Guided Tripping (Amsterdam), in preparation to step fully into her self-claimed role as Psychedelic Chaplain. 

  • Rewilding mentorship with Ricky Hillson (Rewild Your Soul) 

  • 28 years alongside Gus — my partner, my spiritual teacher, the love with whom I made a life and made love with the world. Ours was a deliberate, devotional kind of union — where healing was mutual, sacred, and beautifully human.

 

Often called a “rare natural integrator” and a “discomfort seeker,” Diane creates vetted-for-safety watering holes for sensitive, creative, heartbreak-seasoned humans who are done performing and ready to belong — to themselves, to each other, and to the wider world. 

 

If you’re here to practice, connect, laugh mid-sob, and be more tree, you’re in the right place.

💝You’re not here to be perfect. You’re here to be free. 🌱

Do you feel stuck in a life you’re supposed to love… but secretly don’t?
Tired of “working on yourself” but still feeling like something’s missing?
Ever wonder if there’s a way to grow that feels less like fixing yourself — and more like freeing yourself?

There is.
And it’s simpler — and sweeter — than you think.

We help curious humans drop the old scripts — the ones about perfection, performance, and "shoulds" — and come alive, one playful practice at a time.

At Beginner’s Grove, we don’t hand you another formula. We help you build trust in yourself again: Guided by the paths I’ve traveled and the ones we’ve shared — through grounded practices, micro-moments of clarity, and soulful shifts that make change feel less like a crisis…and more like a collaboration.

🌻You don’t need to fix yourself. You need to meet yourself — right here, where you already are.

We don’t do hustle, grind, or shame here.
We do light-hearted exploration, bold imperfection, and conscious connection.

What if the next beginning is the one that feels like coming home?

Why I Created This Kit Ever whisper to yourself, “Why does this ‘not enough’ story still hit so hard?”

This isn’t just a bundle. It’s a remembering. A tiny, fierce nudge that you’re already enough—even when the world (and old wiring) screams otherwise.

It was born from my own kitchen-table breakdowns, porch-swing laughs, and years walking beside women daring to begin again. Watch the short origin story below for the heart behind it.

Because enough isn’t something you earn. It’s something you remember. Change the station. Take the wheel. Come alive. ❤️ Diane
