Meet Charisse

Thoughtful support.
A human connection.

You bring what you’re navigating. I bring curiosity, practical perspective, and space to think it through.

Charisse DeschenesEMBA, NBC-HWC

I combine more than 20 years of executive and organizational leadership with my work as a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

My own career transition deepened my interest in how we find direction when familiar answers no longer fit. That’s why we start with your situation—not a prescribed answer.

A place to begin

You don’t need all the answers.

You don’t need a clear goal or the right words before we talk. Start with the question, change, or situation that’s on your mind.

We’ll look at the context around it, what matters to you, and the possibilities you want to explore. There is room to think out loud and reconsider. Your next step is yours to choose.

“Her calm, steady presence and thoughtful questions helped me slow down, sort through the noise, and make decisions that felt aligned with both my leadership and my wellbeing.”
