Di VanWeelden

Hi, I’m Di and I’m glad you’re here! I am founder of ARISE Life Coaching and facilitator of the community we are fostering in The Annex in West Chester, Ohio. 


After serving in faith community leadership for many years, I shifted my focus to the work I enjoy most - helping people tune in to their own guidance, heal their emotional pain and become 

their most authentic selves. 


For over 30 years, I have offered one-on-one sessions, facilitated groups, taught classes and led retreats. I have studied relational dynamics, boundaries, conflict resolution, inner healing, soul fragments, integration, visualization, and journaling. I’m a coach, confidant, intuitive and guide. 


I help people from all walks of life resolve conflicts, develop systems for success, create the life they want, and do their inner work. Together we put mindfulness practices in place to help reduce stress and foster overall wellness. Through personal coaching, workshops, and retreats, I help my clients move forward and overcome challenges. By clearing obstacles, letting go of painful emotions, 

releasing constricting beliefs and the effects of trauma, clients can experience healing, 

wellbeing, peace, and healthy relationships.


ARISE supports people in transforming their lives by fostering vitality, enhanced relationships, increased self-confidence, and unconditional self-love.

Hi, I'm Kelly! I have been intuitive for as long as I can remember. As a child, I sensed emotions, energy, and unspoken truths long before I had words for them. This natural sensitivity became the foundation of a deep trust in my inner knowing and a lifelong connection to intuition. Over the past five years, I have consciously awakened and refined this gift through tarot, transforming personal exploration into a soul-led practice. I read tarot for individuals, parties, and events, creating sacred, welcoming spaces where insight can unfold naturally. In addition to readings, I teach Intro to Tarot through ARISE Life Coaching, encouraging students to move beyond memorization and into a deeper relationship with their own intuition.


I live in Loveland, Ohio, where my work as a tarot reader is deeply grounded in real life, connection, and service. I have been an elementary school teacher for 22 years, a role that has strengthened my ability to listen deeply, guide with compassion, and meet people exactly where they are. I am married to my husband, Chris, and we have shared 22 years of partnership and life together. I am a proud mother of two children, Drew (28) and Lily (19). My passion is helping clients find clarity, reassurance, and alignment. Tarot, for me, is not about prediction—it is about possibilities

Hi! I’m Karin Maney, an executive and transformational life coach. I help people navigate life and leadership challenges with clarity, courage, and grounded action. My style is intuitive and curious, I listen closely, name what others might miss, and ask the questions that get to the real issue. Together, I assist you to build a stronger sense of self, take ownership of your healing, and create change that actually sticks, so you can live as the truest version of who you were created to be.


A big part of my work supports people who are in a “tear it down and rebuild it” season spiritually. As a former pastor who has deconstructed my faith and rebuilt my spiritual foundation in a healthier, more honest place, I offer a safe space for those questioning deeply held beliefs. No judgment, no pressure, no pat answers, just real support as you sort through what you believe, what you’re releasing, and what you want to carry forward.


As a mother of an  LGBTQIA+ daughter, I encouraging individuals in the community to be themselves fully. I also help parents who love their queer kids deeply but feel torn by faith, culture, or fear. Together, we honor your lived experience, unlearn what harms, and clarify how you want to show up with compassion, courage, and connection.


Professionally, I hold an MBA in Human Resources and have spent years coaching one-on-one through pastoral leadership, nonprofit work, and consulting. I bring both strategy and soul, practical tools, steady support, and a calm, honest presence. Whether you’re navigating leadership growth, a spiritual reset, or a personal breakthrough, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.


I offer in-person and virtual coaching. Curious if we’re a fit? Reach out, I’d love to hear what you’re navigating.

Great Listener

Diane is a great listener both in the natural and the spiritual, so sitting with her, talking and praying is safe.


  For me, that's HUGE!  Being vulnerable is scary, but I feel safe with Diane.

What an amazing difference!


I appreciate your listening heart and surrender.

Speaking the Truth

Our last meeting was great for me. 

I have been praying and examining my motivations, where I have manipulated to gain love,  which is basically what I’ve spent my entire life doing. THANK YOU for not being afraid to say the hard things and speak the truth.  


I know there is much more I need to do in my heart regarding this situation, but I know that God is at work.  I am going to start praying through the prayers you gave me as well–specifically the ones on forgiveness and control.

A Crucial Time

Forgiveness & Healing

Speaking the Truth

Diane at Arise Coaching is easy to work with and helped me at a very crucial time in my life.  


I feel safe being vulnerable with Diane, as she is relatable and easy to confide in.  


I found that Diane is very knowledgeable and skilled in multiple approaches when working with individuals and was able to meet me just where I needed in each session.

Forgiveness & Healing

I have tried several counselors…seeing them faithfully and following their advice. All three told me to consider relationship options that I wasn’t comfortable with. 

Diane spoke truth into my heart, and  led me through real forgiveness and a healing of traumatic memories. 


I am experiencing a sense of newness and cleanness, which gives me a place to posture my heart so I can walk this relationship out the way God is inviting me to. 

Thank you Spirit for giving Diane the tenacity to stick it out with me.

Faith, Love & Justice

Forgiveness & Healing

Forgiveness & Healing

Thank you!  It felt so FREEing to not respond in fear out of wounding or a fractured self (as I have in the past), but rather in faith in the power, love and justice of God. 


Thank you for walking me through this. I love you and I cherish what God is doing through you.  


It is well with my soul.

Arise Coaching walked me through a critical/difficult time in my life... offering support, encouragement, love, and tools. 


I attended retreats, small groups, and received one on one counseling. All were very beneficial and helped me to get to where I am today. I would say I was surviving, but now thriving. Thankful! ❤️

Incredible Time

Yesterday was such a great day! It was the first time for me being away from my 2 children for a whole day, and it couldn’t have been spent in a better way. I had such an incredible time, I came home with so much information that I need to consume, God has big plans!! 


I'm excited for our future!
