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.

Ensieh Shervin Shegeft

Ensieh Shervin Shegeft is an analyst in the health care industry with more than twenty years of professional experience built across different organizations and roles. Her background includes project coordination, human resources support, and benefits administration, all performed with steady focus and accountability. She is known for being dependable and attentive to detail, qualities that have earned trust over time. Her work style reflects consistency and cooperation, contributing to stable outcomes and respectful professional relationships.

Shervin was born outside the United States and later relocated with her family, adapting to a new culture and environment during her formative years. Growing up in new communities required patience and resilience, which became lasting personal strengths. She completed her education step by step, earning an associate-level degree before completing a bachelor’s degree in business administration. This achievement represented a meaningful milestone and reflected dedication, perseverance, and strong family encouragement.

Shervin Shegeft entered the workforce after completing her education and gradually developed a broad range of skills across multiple industries. While building her career, she was also raising two children, balancing professional responsibilities with family needs through careful planning and discipline. She approached each position with the goal of long-term stability, valuing consistency and reliability. Her ability to manage both work and home life demonstrated commitment and a steady sense of responsibility.

Shervin considers being a mother her most important role and has always remained closely involved in her children’s lives. She regularly volunteered in educational settings, supported school events, and assisted with classroom activities whenever possible. Being present and supportive was a priority, even during demanding work periods. As her children grew older and became more independent, maintaining strong connections and shared experiences continued to guide her daily life and personal decisions.

Shervin believes in contributing to her community through practical and meaningful actions. Over the years, she has volunteered her time, shared creative skills with young students, and participated in donation efforts during seasonal holidays. These activities were motivated by a desire to help rather than by a passion for recognition. She values giving back in simple ways that foster connection and support, finding quiet fulfillment in contributing to others' well-being.

Shervin Shegeft enjoys creative activities that provide balance and relaxation outside of work. Drawing and painting are personal outlets that allow her to slow down and focus, often through small, thoughtful projects made for loved ones. She also enjoys knitting, creating valuable items that combine care and patience. These hobbies offer a sense of calm and accomplishment, reinforcing the importance of taking time for creativity and reflection.

Shervin has a strong interest in cooking and baking, often preparing meals inspired by her cultural background and sharing them with family. Food has long been a way for her to express care, connection, and gratitude. She also enjoys interior design, finding satisfaction in arranging spaces thoughtfully and creating balanced environments. This interest has sparked curiosity about exploring real estate in the future, where creativity and attention to detail align naturally.

Ensieh Shervin Shegeft values spending quality time with her family and appreciates simple shared moments, such as watching movies together when time allows. She enjoys a wide range of film styles, finding meaning in both lighthearted and reflective stories. These moments highlight what matters most to her. Across her career, personal interests, and daily routines, family remains the foundation of her life and the central influence behind her priorities.
