Meet Dena

My name is Dena Sawyer and I have graduated from Shift and Wake Up’s Life Certification Program. When I met Lynne (who trained me), I was fascinated by what she did as a Holistic Life Coach and wanted to know more about her services and how she became a life coach. I always found religious and spiritual matters fascinating. It was something that I had always wanted to do, but at the time I was a business owner/entrepreneur and had zero time to take on any other projects in my life. In fact, my life felt like I already had too much on my plate, that I couldn’t possibly add anything more to it. I owned my own business, started another side business in network marketing, am a full-time mom to two very active young boys, I had no time for friends or recreational activities, and was always lacking enough money.

When Lynne first announced that she was starting a life coach certification program a few months later, my interests were peaked. I still had all of the same problems, but realized I have to make a change or I would just have more of the same. Einstein said it best when he stated, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. I felt like I couldn’t get off the merry-go-round. After speaking with her, she asked me if becoming a life coach is what I really felt led to do. I thought about it for a while. Realizing that I jumped from job to job, and novelty to novelty, I wanted to make sure that this wasn’t the newest greatest things that would quickly fade away if it didn’t keep my interest. I felt that this was something I had a passion for. My deepest desire was to find my own happiness and bring that reality into others people’s lives.

The biggest obstacles I faced when starting this new journey were time and money. I bring this up because these are usually the same excuses we all feel when something new is brought into our reality, whether it’s adding on a new activity or changing careers. Money was definitely my biggest struggle. I have felt a lack of it my entire life. As a child, I always heard the adults around me saying we didn’t have money to do things. I have always felt a like I never had enough, I was never paid what I was worth, and I could never be recognized for promotions.

I’m telling my story because many people are asking for changes and you must be aware of those ‘answers’ to your prayers when they are presented to you (sometimes they do not come in the form that you were expecting). There I was with bills pilling up, not knowing how I would afford to pay for classes to become a life coach. Lynne recognized that this was something I needed to work through, being a major theme in my life and something that I also needed coaching on. First she taught me that money is only energy, and that we exchange money for goods and services. It’s important energetically to learn to trust that I am on the right path and everything will be provided for before I need it; that was why she asked me early on if this was really my passion. She suggested that I pay the fee each week before my class and TRUST that before the next class I will have the money come to me to pay for it. So, here is where the miracle came. The exact amount of money needed came to me 24 hours before the next class, and each week thereafter. I was amazed! This teaching about money and sourcing taught me so much about trusting in myself and figuring out what my true beliefs are about money: not what other people had taught me.

I knew what I wanted to do and wanted to have, but didn't see the path to get there. Becoming a life coach and the journey I have been on since starting this program has opened my eyes to a new life…a life where I can find peace, harmony, love, prosperity, and happiness. I have woken up from the old way of struggling, sorrow, pain, emptiness, and judgment. Through this work, I have learned to love myself- forgive the hurts in my past. I began to understand who I was and realized that the people who were there didn’t know any better either. The reason things happened and the things they taught me about the world were taught to them and handed down generation after generation. There is such healing and growth when I take that understanding and turn it into self-awareness and responsibility. Only then can I start seeing the wholeness that I have and how everything that happens in my world is for my self growth and deeper understanding on my path.

It was like I was in a hospital bed for many years in a coma. I was being feed through tubes and monitored by machines. My whole existence was limited to the bed and the little room with white walls and memories and experiences I had. Then I opened my eyes. I decided I didn’t want to be fed through a tube or monitored by machines any longer. I wanted to have new experiences, so I sat up in bed with a new hunger for the unknown. I disconnected everything. I had a new perspective and wanted more. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and planted my feet on the ground. I felt my feet and legs strong even though I had been told for years that I couldn’t walk without assistance. I told myself to stand up. I felt the power in my body to do what I commanded and it responded. I turned the tv off, which had been my primary source for news and information about the world around me. I took steps towards the door wanting more answers and more life. This was a great feeling. I was ready to experience all that life has to offer. I shed the old, and knew that there was more beyond that door. I was ready! I opened the door…

I am now walking that new life and living with joy, peace, harmony, laughter, overwhelming love for every human being, divine connections, greater understanding of our purpose in this life and on earth. I’m enjoying being in the moment, being in the flow with life, and seeing things with new eyes and new perspectives. It’s been an amazing journey.

I am ready to show others how they can have the life of their dreams. I am devoting my life to the service of others. I see each person as whole, prefect, and complete. When someone comes to me asking about this journey I know they are ready because they have already opened their eyes from the hospital bed. You can begin your journey with one step, and I am here as your life coach to guide you along the way. I have learned by experience how to recognize holding patterns in our lives with relationships, money, careers, spirituality, and our health. I can show you ways to shift into a higher way of thinking, a holistic way to bring about change.

Thank you for reading my story. When you are ready to make changes in your life and live the life you were created for, give me a call. I am excited to hear from you and meet you to help guide you on your journey. Through this work on healing ourselves we are touching so many other lives in our families and work places. This is how we will bring healing to the world, one person at a time.

Love and light!
