About Hildie Dunn

Hildie Dunn’s natural enthusiasm and incredible heart is well suited to coaching. Her spirit, while infectious and inspiring to her clients and colleagues, is balanced by her desire to see people through not only the victories, but also the roughest patches of their lives. Her mission as a coach with Handel Group is to empower people to live extraordinary lives and reach their dreams with joy and intention. That’s quite a tall order, but Hildie delights in the challenge.

Through her work in the field, Hildie is making a profound difference in how people say goodbye to loved ones. She helps her clients design this last phase of life purposefully and offers clients who are caregivers a magical elixir of hope and relief as they care for their loved ones.
