About Me

Demi is a widowed mom of 3 fantastic children; 1 daughter and 2 Autistic boys who are entering their new chapter of adult years. Her children are her biggest "WHY" and she could not and would not do life without them! They have experienced a life of laughter, tears, and everything in between while creating lifelong memories. Demi is a life coach and founder of Inicio! LLC. She and her family currently reside in Dallas,Texas.


She became a widow during the late stages of her children’s teen years and early 20s. Demi had to quickly learn how to play the role of mom and dad while maneuvering the new life they were handed. She gained so much knowledge about positivity, patience, and encouragement even in the face of unimaginable grief.

She gained so much knowledge about positivity, patience, and encouragement even in the face of unimaginable grief. As a family, they learned about what it means to positively support each other in the daily chaos. Demi learned how to balance being a mom of 2 boys with Autism while simultaneously giving her atypical daughter the stability, nurturing and experiences she also needed. As a family, they learned about what it means to positively support each other in the daily chaos. This is her main “WHY” for becoming a life coach. Not only has she been an advocate for her children, Demi has assisted many families with their journey through the balancing act of raising children with disabilities along with atypical children. She encourages parents to find their “normal” and live according to their specific family needs and not what anyone else thinks it should be. Her biggest reflection can be summed up in her words “that there is no equation for uniqueness and authenticity, that's what makes you stand out from others!”
