About Debbi

Certified Mindfulness Coach & Emerging Therapist (Intern)

🌿 Meet Debbi — Founder of Haven Inspired

Debbi is a mindfulness coach, emotional wellness advocate, and founder of Haven Inspired, serving individuals and organizations throughout the Chicagoland area. Her work centers on helping people develop greater self-awareness, navigate life’s challenges with intention, and create more space for calm, connection, and emotional well-being.

Since 2020, Debbi has guided individuals and groups through mindfulness and meditation experiences designed to support emotional wellness, resilience, and personal growth. In 2021, she founded Haven Inspired, a wellness company specializing in mindfulness and meditation experiences for workplaces, educational institutions, churches, and private events.

As her work has evolved, so has her understanding of emotional wellness. Debbi is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Counseling at Northwestern University and completing her clinical training toward professional licensure. Her counseling education has expanded her work beyond mindfulness practices alone, allowing her to explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and overall well-being.

Debbi’s approach is compassionate, grounded, and practical. She believes mindfulness is not about having a perfectly calm mind or escaping difficult emotions, it’s about learning to notice what is happening within us and responding with greater awareness and intention.

Through Haven Inspired and her continued clinical training, Debbi creates spaces where people can pause, reflect, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

✨ Faith-Informed, Universally Grounded
Debbi’s work honors both the spiritual and practical sides of mindfulness. While her personal faith is Christianity, her coaching and workshops are inclusive and accessible to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. Clients are invited to integrate mindfulness in ways that align with their personal values, faiths, and cultures.

At Haven Inspired, Debbi helps clients embody the core principles that define a true haven: to be Healthy, Authentic, Vibrant, Empathetic, and Nourished. These values shape every session, workshop, and mindful practice she offers creating space for restoration, reflection, and growth.

“Mindfulness changed my life for the better. It helped me

understand myself and others with more compassion and I

want to share that gift with as many people as I can.”

When she’s not leading workshops or coaching clients, Debbi facilitates community conversations, faith-based mindfulness, and emotional well-being in the workplace. Her work bridges both personal healing and organizational growth helping people and teams build cultures where well-being truly thrives.
