Speaker. Author. Coach. Alchemist.

Deborah Hawkins isn’t a life coach who will hand you a framework and call it transformation. She’s a shadow work practitioner, shame alchemist, and Jungian-trained coach with over 30 years of experience going to the places most people are afraid to look — and she will go there with you.

Trained under the legendary Debbie Ford, Deborah has spent three decades helping women see what’s been hiding in the shadow: the grief they labeled weakness, the rage they called difficult, the shame they’ve worn like a second skin. 

She knows this territory because she has walked every inch of it herself.

She calls herself a Truth Hound for a reason. Her late Treeing Walker Hound, Grace, ran ahead of her on every trail — nose down, fearless, following the scent without apology. That’s the kind of guide Deborah is. She goes ahead. You follow. And what you find on the other side is yourself.

Her work draws on shadow work, Jungian dreamwork, EFT tapping, parts work, A Course in Miracles, and 30+ years of deep personal and professional practice.

Deborah has worked with women navigating divorce, identity loss, chronic over-giving, shame spirals, and the quiet devastation of shrinking themselves for everyone else’s comfort.

Long before she had a name for what she did, Deborah was the one people brought their real things to. 

That instinct led her to train under Debbie Ford, to serve on the Board of the International Imago Therapists association, to assist in couples intensives where marriages were hanging by a thread, and to show up as coach-on-call for a local ABC affiliate — trusted to speak truth live, without a script. 

This experience led her to ABC’s 20/20, where she told her own story publicly at a time when that took everything she had. 

She has never done this work from a safe distance. She has done it from inside the fire — her own included.

That's not nothing. That's the hound in you, already on the scent. 

The next step is a Scent Check - a 30-minute conversation to find out if this work is yours to do. No pitch. no pressure. Just truth.
