Meet your Coach

Cindy Diane, Founder of Ascend Lifestyle Coaching

I’m a foodie with a love for travel, documentaries, meaningful conversations, and music (Adult Contemporary is my guilty pleasure!) When I’m not at a concert or planning my next getaway, you’ll find me dancing, diving into personal growth, or exploring a new hobby.

As a Strengths-based leader, I lead with Woo, Communication, Positivity, Developer, and Arranger strengths that help me connect authentically, bring out the best in others, and turn ideas into action. Whether guiding a team or inspiring women through life transitions, I believe in leading with energy, empathy, and purpose always helping others rise to their fullest potential.

    There's More....

     

    I’ve always been someone people naturally turn to whether for support, guidance, or simply a safe place to share what’s on their heart. As a lifelong connector, I’ve spent over 25 years building trusted relationships in the healthcare industry, helping others navigate complex decisions with empathy, strategy, and heart.

    But some of the most important transitions I’ve navigated weren’t at work they were in my own life. Divorce, caring for aging parents, becoming an empty nester, employment transitions and facing the quiet question, "What’s next for me?"  These deeply personal experiences forced me to pause, reflect, and reimagine my identity beyond roles, responsibilities, and titles.

    It didn’t happen overnight. Like the hummingbird, I hovered for a while uncertain, worn out, but still showing up. Over time, I discovered that my resilience wasn’t just survival it was "Becoming." And in that space of becoming, I found my calling  Ascend Lifestyle Coaching.

    To honor this mission, I trained with the renowned Valorie Burton and became a certified personal and executive coach at the CAPP Institute,  Even though I have heart for the work,  I also believe in showing up with skill, professionalism, and integrity.  Whether you're standing at a crossroads or simply feeling called to something more, I hope my story reminds you...

     

    ​You're not alone and you're not finished.


    This is your time to gain clarity, courage and become.  

    Training and Transformation

    Every chapter of my journey from life long connector, corporate leader to certified life coach has been about helping others grow, connect, and rediscover what is possible.
