Professionally, Dianne began teaching in community settings back in 1993. A perennial student of life, she holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in branches of the Holistic Health Sciences, and more than 10 certificates in the Healing and Expressive Arts, including Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, and she continues to enjoy learning. Having taught her original programs to those in life transitions, and getting good results with clients, her colleagues the social workers asked her to put her program into a teacher-training course and her first course was born.
Personally, while overcoming notable challenges in adolescence, Dianne instinctively turned towards the healing and expressive arts for comfort and support, when little else was available to her. Having changed her life dramatically, she understood how to help others do the same. She has since helped hundreds of people experiencing adversity or undergoing life transitions to cultivate essential life skills and to discover how they are uniquely aimed and oriented, so they too can create a life that's more personally meaningful and rewarding for them. She has been teaching the public since 1993 and training mental health and helping professionals, now internationally, since 2010.
