personal growth COACH
Darnelle Aynesworth
A little about me...
Imagine a life that feels deeply fulfilling… one where love, purpose, and joy flow because of what you’ve been through, not in spite of it.
That has been my journey. My greatest growth has not come from smooth seasons, but from the heartbreaks, disruptions, and transitions that once brought me to my knees. Life has a way of shaking us awake, asking us to rethink what we’re doing and why. For me, it took several painful turning points before I paused long enough to understand how my beliefs, behaviors, and old patterns were shaping my experience.
It was through those thresholds that I discovered the power and possibility of reconnecting with my essential nature and everything began to change.
My Path of Learning and Healing...
Along the way, certain modalities became touchstones in my healing: Hypnotherapy, the Enneagram, and Conscious Uncoupling®. Each opened new doors of awareness and transformation. Inspired by my own breakthroughs, I invested deeply in training, certification, and study so I could bring these resources to others.
But my work is not about one program or method. It is an integration of everything I’ve studied – from mindfulness, neuroscience, and somatic trauma healing to decades of professional experience in Human Resources consulting. What matters most is meeting you where you are, drawing on the right tools in the right moment, and holding space for your growth.
Why I Do This Work...
At the heart of it all is compassion. I know what it is like to feel disconnected, uncertain, or alone. And I also know what it takes to move through those moments into greater clarity, harmony, and purpose.
My passion is to help others use life’s challenges as turning points. To pause, breathe, and reconnect with the truth of who they are. To discover that the very experiences that felt like obstacles can become the foundation of growth. Through my supportive process, my clients have discovered that their most difficult challenges and disappointments actually offer a unique opportunity to forge a new path towards a life filled with more meaning, connection, and joy.
The gift of this work is not only the healing we do together, but the lasting tools and practices that become second nature ways of reconnecting with yourself that you can trust in any moment. My role is to walk beside you until you can trust your own compass and guide yourself forward with clarity and confidence.
