About Me

You don’t need a new plan. You need a soft place to land.

 

I’m Whitney Dawn Pyles — a certified Somatic Coach, accredited Life Coach, Human Design Guide, and creative facilitator. I work with helping professionals, creatives, and purpose-driven leaders who are tired of holding it all together alone — and who are ready to come back to themselves.

​

Whether you’re moving through a personal transition, creative burnout, leadership or compassion fatigue, or just feeling disconnected from your body and clarity — my job is to meet you in the middle. To witness what’s here. To offer tools, presence, and perspective that support your return to ease, confidence, and direction.

​

This is beyond mindset coaching.
It’s nervous system support. Creative integration. A space for inspiration — and co-regulation. For gently expanding your capacity to feel, express, and move forward.

 

It’s a place to ask:

• What would it feel like to stop performing and start inhabiting your life?

• What might become possible if you learned to trust your body’s knowing?

• Who might you be without the pressure to always hold it all?

 

This is a gentle but powerful invitation to remember who you are —
and how good it can feel to live, lead, and create from that place.

 

What I bring to the table:

​

• Certified Somatic Coach – trained through The Somatic School in Body-Oriented Coaching through a trauma-sensitive lens, with a focus on nervous system support.

• ACC Accredited Life Coach (ICF) – credentialed through a 110.5-hour training program, 250+ hours of coaching experience, and a rigorous skills-based exam. This designation reflects my commitment to ethical, evidence-based coaching and upholding the highest standards in the field

• Human Design Specialist – blending energetic insight with practical application to support aligned decision-making and self-trust

• Movement & Creative Process Facilitator – over two decades of experience in dance and embodiment and 15+ years in movement instruction and choreography. I guide others in releasing performance conditioning and reclaiming movement as a tool for expression, integration, and healing

• Lived Experience – as a former high-achieving perfectionist, adopted person, and recovering overfunctioner who spent years searching for “home” inside myself

• Professional background in hospitality, corporate training, curriculum development, dance instruction, choreography, and coaching — uniquely equipping me to work with both individuals and organizations

​

Why this work matters (especially now):

​

We’re living in a culture that rewards over-efforting, constant output, and disconnection from our bodies. Deep down, most people I work with aren’t looking for more productivity. They’re looking for permission. Presence. Clarity. Sustainability. A way of working and being that doesn’t cost them their well-being.

 

That’s the work we do here — together.
