About ME
HI, I'M DEENA
Reclaim Your Power—Healing is Possible
At some point, we all experience trauma. It shapes us, often in ways we don’t fully understand—holding us back, keeping us stuck in patterns of survival rather than allowing us to thrive. But here’s the truth: your past does not define your future. Healing is possible; it’s within you, waiting to be uncovered.
I’m Deena Nielsen, a certified Health, Life, and Trauma Recovery Coach, a Somatic Breathwork Practitioner, and a survivor of childhood trauma, religious trauma, and deep betrayal. I know what it feels like to be disconnected from yourself, from truth, trapped in cycles of fear, self-doubt, and people-pleasing. But I also know what it means to break free.
Breaking Free From Trauma
Trauma disconnects us—from truth, from ourselves, from others, from the life we truly desire. Our nervous system learns to protect us through patterns and beliefs that once helped us survive—but over time, they can keep us small, stuck, and powerless.
Through somatic breathwork and mindset coaching, I help people release stored trauma, reconnect with their authentic selves, and reclaim their inner power. When we shift from survival mode to conscious healing, we create space for clarity, confidence, and lasting change.
My Journey to Healing
I didn’t just study this work—I lived it.
As a trauma survivor, I learned to dissociate before I could even speak. I spent years in survival mode, trying therapy, medication, and countless healing methods, only to feel like I was fighting a battle I could never win.
That changed when I discovered the power of nervous system regulation, breathwork, and deep mindset shifts. Through this work, I was able to release stored trauma, heal old wounds, and reconnect with my true self.
Today, I live feeling safe within myself and the world around me. I know that healing isn’t about fixing something broken—it’s about reclaiming the wholeness that has always been inside us.
A Life of Purpose & Joy
Beyond my work, I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother who deeply cherishes family. I’ve been married for 33 years and had the privilege of raising three amazing sons. Family time is my greatest treasure, and I believe every single one of us has the ability to heal, grow, and create a joyful, fulfilling life.
Are You Ready to Reclaim Your Power?
If you feel disconnected from yourself, trapped in old patterns, weighed down by the expectations of others, or unsure of how to move forward—I want you to know there is hope.
Healing isn’t about getting rid of the past. It’s about transforming your relationship with yourself and reclaiming your power of choice so you can step into a life of joy, purpose, and integrity.
You have the power to change. And I’m here to help guide you there.
Let’s begin your journey to wholeness.
