Prior to COVID, advances in technology and work-life patterns were bringing us to near-epidemic levels of burnout in many sectors.
Depression and loneliness were leading causes of global disability; outstripping cancer and heart disease.
Modern conditions have intensified these patterns and made it impossible to put off addressing our mental health and wellbeing any longer.
Nurturing our capacity to adapt, adjust, change and grow, sustained through mindfulness training so we may respond effectively to life’s challenges and crises.
Growing a flexible identity and growth mind-set, grounded in self-integrity. This integrity involves learning to deeply listen to our authentic voices as well as encouraging those of others.
To flourish means our values and beliefs seed meaning and purpose in our lives. These values connect us with caring communities and cultures that nourish, respect, and inspire us to live into our best selves.

As an integral health & wellbeing coach, yoga therapy teacher and anthropologist, Deirdre brings a holistic lens into her work with coaching clients. She understands how important it is to customize a strategy to suit the client’s unique needs and context.
She has experience working with high performing staff and leaders who work in high-pressure environments and want to maximize their impact as well as supporting clients who are navigating challenging transitions (empty nesting, divorce, personal or professional loss, retirement) or wish to grow their capacity for more zest, joy and inspiration.
In addition to serving professionally as a wellbeing scientist and researcher, Deirdre is trained by the Anthropedia Institute, which offers an interdisciplinary evidence-based curriculum drawing on nutrition, naturopathy, neuroscience, art & culture, psychology, and coaching skills to support the whole person. She is the former Director of Wellbeing and Joy in Practice at Ann & Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Under Dr. Guthrie’s leadership and in less than three years we’ve seen remarkable shifts in culture in the way we talk about and incorporate wellbeing into our everyday. Deirdre’s efforts have not only made our workplace more supportive but have set a higher standard for how we care for each other and ourselves.

I’ve met just a handful of true “healers” on my journey and consider Deirdre among the best. Each time I practice with her I am grateful for the gifts that she helps me to access within my body, mind and spirit. This Fall I participated in her Compassionate Wisdom course, which was rich with relevant content to help navigate these uncertain times. When I work with Deirdre I find Center. She is a gift!
