personal growth COACH
Darnelle Aynesworth
A little about me...
Imagine the possibility of living a deeply fulfilling life of love, purpose, and joy, not in spite of all that you have been through, but BECAUSE of all you have been though. I am here because I have worked my way through many life challenges, and I am passionate about sharing what has worked for me. Like many others, my greatest growth shifts came as a result of my most painful heartbreaks and big life transitions. Life has a way of knocking us down and forcing us to rethink everything we are doing and why. Unfortunately for me, it took a few devastating events for me to finally take the needed time to learn key life lessons and better understand how my own behaviors and deep-seated beliefs were influencing my painful experiences.
In my search for solace and understanding, three modalities (Hypnotherapy, the Enneagram, & Conscious Uncoupling) were highly impactful and led to the most transformative growth and healing for me. As a result, I was highly motivated to invest my time, resources and energy into learning everything I could so that I could do this remarkable work to help others.
My professional credentials along with a 20-year career in Human Resources consulting employees and management, supports my skills as a personal growth coach. I bring many relatable life experiences and I have made it my life’s purpose to help bring connection and harmony to those who need it most. I have deep compassion for the disconnection and loneliness people face every day. My personal growth journey has led me to the ongoing fascination and study of Human Behavior, Mindfulness, Neuroscience, Somatic Trauma Healing, and countless complementary modalities. I’ve applied these concepts and tools to my own life challenges to reach new levels of connection, purpose, health, and Harmony with Life.
It is my utmost passion to make these transformative resources available to others.
The Conscious Uncoupling process showed me how old patterns that initially provided me protection and even lasting friendships, actually created barriers to deeper connection in my relationships. The profound experience helped me cultivate healing, forgiveness and meaning following the unexpected end of my 24-year marriage.
I was first introduced to hypnotherapy when my daughter was introduced to it to cope with anxiety. Happy with her results, I was inspired to learn more. I trained under Marisa Peer and her RTT method. RTT has helped me identify and reprogram many of my own limiting beliefs and negative patterns developed in childhood.
The Enneagram is a powerful and insightful tool that helped me understand myself and others when I was struggling in some of my relationships and life transitions. I appreciate its complexity, wisdom and personal growth aspect. I earned my professional credentials through the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy
