[ WHY NOT MAKE EVERY BREATH COUNT ]

I specialize in coaching individuals to effectively self-regulate themselves during challenging moments, enabling them to maintain a state of ease and focus. Life can throw unexpected emotional events our way, and it's crucial to have the intuitive ability to process and recover from them without getting overwhelmed.
The reality is that many of us often find ourselves running low on the resilience capacity required for this adaptation process. That's where I come in. I can provide you with the necessary tools and techniques to establish ongoing reserves of resilience, empowering you to live a more intentional, fulfilling, and resilient life.
My coaching approach encompasses a range of strategies tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll work on developing emotional awareness, implementing effective self-care practices, nurturing positive coping mechanisms, and fostering a growth mindset. By integrating mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, and cognitive reframing into your daily life, you'll gain the ability to regulate your emotions and respond constructively to triggers.
Resilience is not a one-time achievement but a lifelong journey. With my guidance, you'll build a solid foundation of resilience that allows you to bounce back from setbacks, adapt to change, and maintain your well-being in the face of adversity.
Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey and cultivate the resilience you need to thrive in any circumstance? Let's work together to unlock your full potential and experience a life of resilience, purpose, and fulfillment.
I can help you build emotional resilience and coherence on the go

I felt a shift in my energy shortly after our first week of working together. Diedra provided personalized strategies that have been extremely helpful tools that I now use in my daily life.
— CYDNEY N.
"The sessions are very powerful and personalized"
I struggled with managing my stress and feeling overwhelmed over the past two years. The concepts I learned in this program were new to me, but once I started practicing every day, there was a noticeable difference in how calm and centered I felt throughout the day. I think it would be great for my kids to learn these tools as well!
— Kahli G.
"I feel renewed and happy with my new practice!"
I needed help with figuring out what I wanted to do professionally. I was tired of going to work every day and feeling miserable. I learned a technique that helped me focus on what I wanted and build the confidence that made it happen. Now I have the financial freedom to do what I love to do.
— Adam p.
"This program helped me in the most significant way!"
My experience with Diedra extended far beyond my expectations. I was referred to her studio to help mitigate a chronic stress problem. I had never tried breathwork and admittedly was reluctant. After the first session, I was hooked. I didn't realize how recharging my nervous system could motivate me during the day, but I was more blown away by what it did for my deep and rem sleep! Amazing! Diedra introduced me to several self-modulating techniques personalized just for me and my schedule.
— Stacey k.
"Getting a good night sleep is no longer a struggle"
The inspiration behind my profession began as far back as working for Tony Robbins and experiencing firsthand the significance of living in a "peak state" with purpose, passion, and gratitude to support and sustain deeper purpose, personal goals and maximize the quality of life.
This is where high-level resilience training meets unrivaled expertise!
"Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions."

"The ability to feel calm during times of chaos is truly a superpower for me."
I was so used to being overbooked and overwhelmed that I forgot what it was like not to feel that way every day. These tools helped me experience a major shift from feeling constant stress to having more focus, peace, and energy in my life.

Meet the Founder and Coach, Diedra Perry
When I was growing up, many people assumed I was part of a military family due to constant relocating from state to state. However, my family's reality was quite different. Despite well-meaning parents, my upbringing was marked by frequent, emotionally challenging moves. By the time I turned 18, I had lived in seven states and attended thirteen schools.
In second grade alone, I attended three schools in three different cities. Adversities beyond my control, including divorce, alcoholism, and mental illness within my family shaped my childhood.
Though undeniably a very trying upbringing, these circumstances ultimately ignited the fire within me to actively seek meaning and understanding in my life. During those formative years, constantly being the 'new kid' left me struggling to fit in. However, at just twelve years old, I found the courage to trust my intuition and I sought guidance from a school advisor. Uncertain of the outcome, I nevertheless understood that embracing change was preferable to living in unending uncertainty.
Growing up, my life was a series of moves that often led people to assume a military background. However, my reality was different. By 18, I'd lived in seven states and attended thirteen schools, shaped by adversities within my family. These challenges ignited a drive to seek meaning and understanding in life.
At twelve, I trusted my intuition, seeking guidance from a school advisor. This marked the beginning of my journey towards self-confidence and independence. In my twenties, I immersed myself in books and audiobooks, stepping out of my comfort zone for personal growth. This curiosity led me to explore holistic modalities and prompted a life-altering move from Las Vegas to San Diego.
In this new chapter, I delved into various healing arts, meeting a Shaman and a hypnotherapist who showed me the power of mind and body. Hypnotherapy played a significant role in transforming my health. Volunteering at The School of Healing Arts introduced me to Tai Chi, NLP, EFT, and a diverse community that shared my passions. This network eventually led me to work for the Anthony Robbins Company, an inspiring and dynamic experience.
Despite my years in wellness practices and holistic studies, I grappled with hearing and acting on my inner voice, believing certain aspects of myself were unchangeable due to my upbringing. This belief was shattered during a coaching session. Heart Focused Breathing, a practice from HeartMath®, brought a profound shift in my internal state. I became adept at connecting my breath to positive feelings, a truly transformative experience.
Today, my commitment to growth and education drives my mission to empower others in their quests for self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth. I engage in ongoing research, workshops, and training, fueled by a love for learning. My aim is to foster self-reliance and emotional strength in others.
Certified HeartMath® Mentor
Founder and Coach
I can help because I've been there and know what works...
This pivotal shift in my perspective marked the beginning of my personal growth, nurturing self-confidence propelling me through school, and ultimately enabling me to explore my independence.
In my twenties, my search for self-knowledge brought me countless hours in the library as well as many more hours eagerly browsing the shelves of my favorite bookstores: Borders Books and Barnes and Noble.
These years occurred before the convenience of book shopping on Amazon, so I wholeheartedly immersed myself in self-discovery through books and audiobooks. These hours of exploration were truly transformative.
I have fond memories of taking long walks with my trusty Sony Walkman, immersing myself in audiobooks that broadened my perspectives with fresh ideas. While some recommendations were priceless, others provided valuable learning experiences.
What truly counted was my unwavering willingness to step out of my comfort zone, ultimately leading to significant personal growth.
This heightened curiosity led me to an interest in holistic modalities and human behavior. With unwavering determination, I made the life-altering decision to relocate from Las Vegas to San Diego. Even though I was determined to dramatically change my life, the move was still an intimidating step because I didn't have any family in San Diego and the area was new to me. But before too long I found a new place to live, I secured a job, and ultimately expanded my circle of influence.
The new life was exciting but I was unclear about which modality intrigued me most, so I explored a variety of options within the healing arts. Meeting a Shaman and a hypnotherapist firsthand showed me the power of the mind and body to find peace, stillness, and clarity. Hypnotherapy helped me make a significant change in my health that continues today.
When I arrived in San Diego, I dedicated a portion of my time to volunteering at The School of Healing Arts, which introduced me to Tai Chi, NLP, EFT, and exposed me to countless influential speakers. These experiences contributed to newfound stability and happiness, surrounded by a diverse social circle that shared my passions. This network eventually led me to the opportunity of a lifetime—working for the Anthony Robbins Company.
My time working for the legendary motivational speaker, author, and entrepreneur Tony Robbins was both inspiring and dynamic. My professional responsibilities allowed me to connect with people from all over the world, I journeyed to Fiji, I became a firewalker, and I received guidance from a coach who had a profound impact on me and unknowingly played a part in the trajectory of my professional career.
Despite these years of immersing myself in wellness practices and holistic studies, I still grappled with how to hear and act on my inner voice, believing that certain aspects of myself were unchangeable due to my upbringing. I couldn't have been more mistaken.
One pivotal day during a coaching session, we delved into a past issue of mine that triggered a strong emotion– something I thought was deeply ingrained from my childhood. To my surprise, my coach led me through a rhythmic breathing sequence, guiding me to focus my attention on the center of my heart while cultivating a feeling of neutrality for about five minutes.
As it concluded, I experienced a profound sense of calm and clarity – this was a genuine shift in my internal state using my own body! This seemingly straightforward technique had an extraordinary impact on me. It marked the first time I synchronized my breath with a positive feeling. While I had gathered a wealth of knowledge over the years, connecting my breath to a feeling in this way was eye-opening and undeniably powerful.
The more I practiced this technique, the more aware I became of how I reacted and felt when faced with a challenging situation. I also practiced when I wasn’t challenged and learned how to connect with myself.
This remarkable technique is called Heart Focused Breathing, one of the many practices from HeartMath®. Supported by years of research, peer-reviewed studies, science, and technology, it deeply appealed to me, leading me to become a Certified HeartMath® Mentor, equipped to teach others how to self-regulate their mind, emotions, and nervous systems for enhanced daily living.
Today, my journey continues with excitement and a deep commitment to growth and education. I frequently engage in ongoing research, workshops, retreats, and training, propelled by an insatiable love for learning, regardless of how much knowledge I accumulate along the way.
My mission is to empower others in their journeys of self-awareness, self-reliance, building emotional resilience, and personal growth.
Overcoming fears or anxieties that are holding you back.
Making 'in the moment' decisions that feel best for you instead of needing approval from others.
Feeling comfortable and confident when speaking in personal or professional settings.

Make THIS the year that you *finally* commit to:
