Diana Oehrli, Executive Coach, works with entrepreneurs and high achievers who grapple with trust issues, anxiety, inner criticism, and procrastination. She helps clients achieve flow, abundance, and a thriving life.

She draws on her international perspective, personal journey, and special coaching skills to help creative high performers navigate life transitions, break out of their comfort zones, and achieve their goals.

She’s navigated career changes, managed teams, hired and fired employees, endured divorce, given up alcohol and refined sugar, raised children as a single parent, and relocated to new countries. She understands the pain of loss and the empowering realization of emerging stronger than before.

Oehrli began her career as a journalist at Newport This Week in Rhode Island, eventually rising to the position of manager. She then spent 17 years living and working in Switzerland, writing for local publications. While there, she co-founded GstaadLife, a magazine focused on the fashionable mountain resort town. She also started a memoir and authored blogs including Life in the Swiss Alps and As Diana O Sees It, chronicling her experiences abroad and her personal journey.

With a deep interest in human behavior and motivation, in part inspired by her relation to the philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, Oehrli became an ICF certified coach and recovery specialist. She founded her own company, Oehrli Coaching & Communications.

She believes in continuous education and self-reflection, recognizing that pain is often a catalyst for growth and change.

Oehrli divides her time between Newport, New York City, Gstaad, and Costa Rica.

She serves as a trustee for the Gruben Charitable Foundation and on the advisory committee for Powered by Prince.

A dedicated Shotokan karate practitioner and pianist, Oehrli's other joys include walking her dog Fritzli in nature and cooking for friends.
