About Deanna
Deanna Byrne is a transformational coach, speaker, hypnotherapist, grief coach, and media personality with more than 30 years of experience in human behavior, emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and holistic wellness.
Known for her calm but deeply powerful approach, Deanna helps women navigate the seasons of life that change them most: grief, burnout, reinvention, identity shifts, menopause, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet unraveling that often happens in midlife. Her work blends trauma-informed coaching, subconscious reprogramming, somatic practices, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and grounded emotional leadership to help women reconnect with themselves in a way that feels sustainable, safe, and real.
The Journey
Her work was not built solely through certifications.
It was built through life.
After the sudden loss of her husband in 2020, Deanna experienced firsthand what it means to rebuild from the inside out. That chapter transformed not only her personal life, but the direction and depth of her professional work. Today, she is recognized for helping women move through grief, transition, and emotional overwhelm with honesty, nervous system awareness, and self-trust, not pressure, performance, or toxic positivity.
Alongside her coaching work, Deanna has an extensive background in media, branding, leadership, and communications. She has worked in broadcasting, built and scaled businesses, spoken internationally, and created digital content that has reached millions globally through podcasting, social media, audio storytelling, and live speaking events. Her podcast and guided audio work have been streamed in more than 90 countries worldwide.
Deanna holds multiple accreditations in coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy, grief support, meditation facilitation, somatic trauma-informed practices, menopause coaching, holistic wellness, and emotional processing modalities. She is also a trained death doula and has spent decades supporting individuals through some of life’s most vulnerable transitions.
Her work today centers around one core belief:
When the nervous system feels safe, clarity returns.
Whether she is speaking on stage, hosting women’s circles, coaching privately, creating media content, or leading transformational conversations online, Deanna’s mission remains the same, helping women stop abandoning themselves and start leading their lives from a place of grounded truth, emotional safety, and authentic power.
She is the founder of The Deanna Byrne Collective and creator of transformational frameworks including The R.I.S.E. Method™ and The R.E.N.E.W. Pathway™, designed to help women regulate, rebuild, and rise into the next chapter of their lives.
Based in Nova Scotia, Canada, Deanna continues to guide women worldwide through coaching, hypnotherapy, speaking events, digital media, workshops, and transformational programs designed to bring women back home to themselves.
