hello!
I'm Dane Cornejo, and I'm here to help you create a life and success that feels good, sustainable and aligned with who you truly are.
- Somatic – the body and nervous system, how you feel and experience life physically
- Emotional – the feelings you carry, both expressed and unspoken
- Mental – the thoughts, beliefs, and inner narratives that shape your reality
- Behavioural – the actions and habits that either move you forward or hold you back
- Unconscious – the hidden patterns and blocks beneath the surface that quietly influence your choices
Working at all these levels allows coaching to go deeper than surface-level strategies. It supports whole-self transformation, not just temporary fixes.
I am also a trauma-informed coach, which means I understand how past wounds and protective patterns can show up in the present. I hold space safely and compassionately, always honouring your pace while supporting you to step into growth.
A Whole-Self Approach to Coaching
This cycle is more than a framework – it’s a journey I designed to help you awaken, understand, activate, and integrate your best self.
Unite your inner growth with your outer world so that your transformation is embodied, sustainable, and truly yours.
4. Integrate
Take courageous and aligned action that moves you toward the life you want. Insight becomes meaningful only when paired with action.
3. Activate
Explore the deeper roots of your patterns, stories, and emotions. This creates clarity and self-understanding.
2. Understand
Become aware of what’s happening inside and around you without judgment. Awareness is the spark that begins all transformation.
1. Awaken
I’m a Master Coach, certified and trained at the Institute for Coaching Mastery, and my approach blends proven coaching principles with insights I’ve drawn from my trainings, lived experiences, and personal spiritual journey.
At the heart of my practice is the Transformation Cycle, a framework I created to help you experience real, lasting change. This is how I guide my clients, whether you’re completely new to coaching or already on your growth journey:
My Coaching Methodology
- Buy into your stories of limitation – I will always see beyond them, even when you can’t.
- Project my own beliefs or worldview onto you (unless you invite me to share).
- Do the work for you, because your power comes from owning your journey.
- Ask you to do something I wouldn’t be willing to do myself.
- Judge you for your past or the pace of your growth.
- Push you faster than you’re ready to go – I will walk with you at your pace.
I WILL NEVER...
- Help you design strategies to achieve your goals – while reminding you that your worth is not defined by those goals.
- Hold up the mirror so you can see your wholeness and discover what’s truly possible.
- Keep you accountable to the life you say you want to live.
- Meet you in the depths of your fears and remind you of your strength and power.
- Commit to doing my own inner work, so I can hold a clear and grounded space for you as you do yours.
- Celebrate your growth, no matter how small the step may seem.
- Challenge you with love when you shrink back from your potential.
I WILL...
