About Me

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 compartmentalizing who they are and who are ready to show up fully and authentically.

​

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 where you're at. To witness what’s here. To offer tools, presence, and perspective that support your return to ease, confidence, and clear direction.

​

This is more than mindset coaching. It is whole body 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 show up authentically in all of your beautiful complexity?

• What might be possible if you learned to fully trust your intuition and embodied wisdom?

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

 

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 authentic place.

 

What I bring to the table:

​

• Certified Somatic Coach – trained through The Somatic School in Body-Oriented Coaching and Body-Oriented Group 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, 300+ 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, self-trust, and self-forgiveness.

• Movement & Creative Process Facilitator – over two decades of experience in dance and embodiment and 15+ years in movement instruction and facilitation. 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, 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 to be who they are. For presence, clarity, and sustainability. For a way of working and being that doesn’t cost them their well-being.
