Aterra Coaching was created to offer something many people struggle to find in their work, relationships, and daily life; a calm, grounded space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether you’re leading a team, navigating change, or untangling long-held patterns, this is a place where you can speak honestly, feel understood, and explore what’s truly shaping your experiences.
About Aterra Coaching
Meet Deborah, Founder of Aterra Coaching
My work is rooted in more than 25 years of experience supporting people and leading teams across multiple industries. I understand the realities and pressures that come with responsibility, the expectation to “hold it all together,” the weight of decision-making, and the challenge of showing up authentically in the midst of constant demands.
Over the years, I’ve coached leaders at every level, worked with individuals seeking deeper clarity, and supported clients who have spent much of their lives feeling unseen or “not enough.” These experiences have shaped my belief that meaningful growth starts with understanding yourself, your patterns, your reactions, your story.
I bring a calm, steady presence to my work. I’m compassionate, but I’m not afraid to ask direct questions or hold people accountable. You won’t stay stuck on my watch, but you also won’t be pushed before you’re ready. We move at the pace that’s right for you, grounded in honesty, curiosity, and courage.

“I developed a relationship of trust with Deb while we were both working at the same remote mine site, and over time we got to know one another well. As time went on, I recognized areas where I wanted to refine my skillset, and I reached out to Deb for coaching support. She worked diligently with me to ensure that, on the path I intended to take, I had the tools and confidence needed for success. It was a humbling experience, as she was able to gently and respectfully highlight where I could grow. We continue to work together to this day.”

Coaching is for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply and move forward in a way that feels intentional and aligned. I work with leaders seeking to strengthen their impact, teams wanting to communicate more effectively, and individuals navigating personal growth or healing. If you're ready to show up honestly and do the work, coaching can support real transformation.
