Welcome to Becoming!

I'm Denee Dole, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

I completed my coaching program at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, located at the University of Arizona. I'm also a certified Pilates teacher and have taught & practiced for over 20 years, but that's not the whole story.

Like your story, my story is unique to me.

I love all things design: color, print, fabric.

I love art, fashion, and architecture. I love details.

I love being creative.

In my first chapter, I pursued a career in the fashion industry,

which lasted until my pregnancy with twins.

An ending of a career and a beginning of a new adventure.

​

Motivated to get back in shape,

I discovered Pilates and soon found myself in my 2nd career.

Twenty-so years later .... I'm still teaching and practicing Pilates.

Movement and health seeking have been a core value that shapes my life.

I like to take deep dives into all kinds of health-related topics, especially ones that help me with my personal health journey, which I'm happy to share with you.​

​

In the fall of 2023, I became a student again after 29 years. Do that math! 

I had almost convinced myself I was too old to learn new tricks.

I completed the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine's Health & Wellness coaching program, which was challenging and rewarding.

This past March of 2025, I sat for the National Board for Health & Wellness coaching exam.

That was one rigorous experience. Whew, I passed!

 

I am in a new chapter of life that is unfolding, and I'm excited to see where it leads me.

As I continue to write the pages, I hope our paths connect, and we'll be part of each other's continuing stories. Here's to life!

 

Still Becoming,

Denee

Random Tidbits About Me

​

​​I love learning about lots of different things, except math... I don't like learning about math.

​

Lover of books, writing, art & listening to podcasts. I'm a podcast hoarder.

​

I'm a self-diagnosed neurodivergent ADHD brain, and it all makes sense now...the squirrels

in my brain that are highly caffeinated and doing circus tricks. 

​

The mountains in North Carolina are my happy place. I love being in the woods, breathing in fresh air, and being in & around mountain streams. I love trees. But not bears or snakes. Both of which I've seen. ​​

​

I believe if a Michael Jackson song is played, you must stop everything & dance.

​

I'm most proud of my three daughters & my husband. Family is paramount to me.

​

God is my anchor, my source, my everything.
