Event Coordinator
Dianne Krager-Godel
Dianne is an event planner and coordinator, mindset and leadership coach, and is also an A.M.A.H.T.™ and Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. She is based in Covina, a city located in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California.
Her direct experience with Executive burnout and the negative habits and effects that resulted led her to searching for a balance of business and spirituality, along with healing and transformation to thrive instead of survive. She became an Advocate client of AlterCall. Through her personal healing journey and a new and ever-growing relationship with God, she successfully left Corporate America to fulfill her lifelong passion for helping, healing and mentoring others within health and wellness. This led to an opportunity to plan and coordinate AlterCall’s many virtual and in-person events, both locally and out of state.
She is committed to help her clients bring their event visions to life, allowing them to provide life-long memories for their clients. She is passionate about helping minimize stress and maximize energy and time management throughout the event planning process. Her goal for onsite event coordination is to ensure the event is executed smoothly, while addressing her clients and their clients’ needs throughout the event, and ensuring everyone is having a great time!
Dianne loves spending time outdoors with her husband and their two frenchie furbabies. She also loves singing, dancing, snowboarding and being a prayer warrior.

Meditation/Breathwork
Tony Benavides
For 23 years, Tony worked in the public sector in a high stress career. As a lifelong “crisis meditator”, he would occasionally grasp for a sense of calm or relief in times of high stress using meditation. He finally established a deep, consistent meditation practice at the end of his career. (Or maybe he found the end of his career at the beginning of regular meditation.) Either way, meditation changed everything.
Tony has been teaching a variety of topics for at least 20 years. Tony’s teaching philosophy is rooted in meeting students where they are, customizing teachings to the comfort level of the student. Ultimately, he hopes to give students the skills and confidence to practice confidently on their own.
Tony is a davidji certified mindfulness and meditation instructor. He holds certificates in life coaching and executive coaching from the Coach Training Alliance. He earned a BA in Philosophy from Cal State University, Dominguez Hills and a MBA from Southern Oregon University.
Tony is the VP of Field Operations for a consulting company focused on helping companies use unmanned aerial systems to improve their efficiency. Tony is also the Director of Training for a private security firm where he teaches mindfulness to employees.
