Come Home to Yourself — One WTF Moment at a Time

You are already enough.
Let’s quiet the noise proving it.


I’ll walk beside you — barefoot in the mess,
dragon-hearted when it counts.

Three gentle practices.
Real shift, in your own time.

“You model the fierceness of a heart slightly broken but still asking,
‘Teach me.’ She is my therapist. She is you.” ….Cathy

I’m Diane — a Zen disruptor and women’s guide whose walked through my own fire and kept asking to begin again. From Buddhist monk insights to everyday breakthroughs, I’ve learned: Healing hides in kitchens & car rides.

Practices tested in my collaborations, like the Women Who Dare Podcast and WTF Quiver & Arrows Series, for real, relational shifts.

🌼 Welcome to Gaia’s Porch

Here on Gaia’s Porch, you don’t have to have it all figured out—I’ll meet you where you are. Drawing from 28 years of gentle accountability, we slow down together, untangle old stories, and tend to the roots of what’s been long ignored. This is mental health care that feels like a kitchen table conversation—barefoot, unscripted, and rooted in real relationship, with me as your steady guide

☀️ What I Offer

1:1 support drawing from helping women dare to be beginners—through soulful conversation, nervous system tending, inner work tools, and steady companionship I’ve refined over decades.

🌿 Porch Session

A single 75-minute session — come as you are, leave with a little more clarity (and maybe a breath you forgot you were holding). Backed by my expertise in therapeutic conversations from Gaia’s Porch 1:1.

Accountability in Motion

Three 1:1 sessions, spaced every other week, designed to keep you moving toward what actually matters — with me tracking the thread, cheering you on, and gently calling you in (not out).

✨ Ongoing Mentorship

Monthly sessions for support in your healing or creative practice. Because sometimes we just need someone in our corner, holding the mirror steady.

Pull up a chair beside Sadie as she shares how the kit and our ongoing conversations have helped her come home to herself.

🌀 Gentle doesn’t mean passive. It means present, steady, unrushed—what the years, the tears, and the wild have taught me about honoring a woman’s nervous system, timing, and truth. On this porch, we go deep at your pace. We laugh a lot along the way. And we remember: belonging starts when you stop performing.

Why listen to me?

My Story
Because I’ve walked through the fire, alone and alongside others, as a therapist, educator, retreat guide, and licensed professional, I’ve shape-shifted through challenges, choosing curiosity over collapse. Now, I help the emotionally fluent, spiritually curious, and semi-feral come home to themselves, drawing on proven tools from my Beginner’s Grove collaborations.


Welcome home.

Beginner’s Grove and Gaia’s Porch are the spaces I wished existed when I was sobbing into soup or dancing in parking lots.

This is for the seekers, the feelers, the over-thinkers, and the semi-feral among us. No performing required.

Just gentle tools, real conversations, and full permission to begin exactly where you are.

Pull up a chair. Let’s change the dial on your life — one small practice, one WTF moment, one deep breath at a time.

With roots in Zen and years of walking alongside brave women (and a little handpan magic from my dear friend Ricky when we need it), I’m here to help you remember: You are already enough.

Let’s begin.

Beginner’s Grove

💝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 the WTF is “Enough?” Starter Kit

Three simple, daily practices—pulled straight from my own life and the women I’ve walked alongside—that helped us finally remember we’re already enough, even when the world screams otherwise.

Watch me explain the three arrows (and why they’ve been game-changers for so many of us).

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
