DenetraElaine Robinson is a Family Nurse Practitioner, wellness speaker, and founder of The Pause Practitioner, a lifestyle philosophy centered on intentional rest, mindful living, and embodied self-care. With a background in healthcare and a passion for holistic wellness, Denetra creates transformative conversations around burnout prevention, nervous system regulation, boundaries, and sustainable self-care—especially for women who give so much to others.

Before entering healthcare, Denetra began her professional journey in the field of criminal justice—a path that, while meaningful, no longer aligned with her evolving sense of purpose. Answering an inner call for deeper impact and fulfillment, she made the courageous decision to pivot her career, returning to school to pursue nursing and ultimately becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. That defining transition reshaped not only her professional life, but her understanding of alignment, resilience, and possibility.

Through her work, Denetra empowers individuals to pause without guilt, listen to their bodies, and trust themselves enough to pivot when life is calling them in a new direction. Her approach seamlessly blends science, spirituality, and real-life wisdom, offering practical tools that can be applied immediately. Whether on stage, on the mat, or on the page, Denetra’s mission is simple yet profound: to remind people that there is power in the Pause—and purpose is found in the pivot.
