About Demi Cortez
My Journey to Awakening Coaching
As a child I always had a desire to serve in some capacity. I just had no idea that my passion would lead me to Life Coaching. Throughout my entire career path, I've always found myself in a field of service and coaching. From management positions coaching my advisors, to my esthetics career coaching clients on their skin and even mentoring/coaching other estheticians on business and esthetics.
Now with over 12 years of experience as a master esthetician, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals feel confident and radiant in their own skin. Drawing from that hands on experience, I learned that true beauty and confidence starts from within. While helping clients address external concerns, I saw the profound impact of emotional well-being on self-esteem and overall health. This realization fueled my passion to go deeper—to help people heal, grow, and transform on a more profound level. My passion for empowering others to embrace their own beauty and self-worth magnified and that led me to expand my focus beyond the surface, inspiring my transition into life and wellness coaching.
As a certified life coach I’m committed to helping my clients heal from trauma, manage stress, and navigate life’s most challenging experiences with clarity and confidence. My passion lies in providing a safe, supportive space where clients can uncover the root of their struggles, dismantle limiting beliefs, and reconnect with their true authentic self. Drawing on tools and strategies rooted in personal empowerment and growth, I work with my clients to build resilience, reframe their mindset, and turn obstacles into opportunities for transformation.
I believe in the power of inner transformation to create lasting change. Whether it’s breaking free from anxiety, building emotional resilience, or realigning your life with your purpose, you must do the hard work to see effective change. My mission is to empower you to embrace your full potential and create a life filled with confidence, balance, and fulfillment.
