“Denise brings structure where I get stuck in overwhelm. At the end of our sessions I feel energised and I am clear on next steps. I know what to do, I am focused and in action! I used to be a trade mark lawyer in Australia, and decided I wanted to follow my passion and work with puppies. With Denise's support, I opened three dog training schools in just 18 months. My business is thriving and I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this so quickly without Denise's help.”

SASKIA VAN DER MADE, FOUNDER OF SASKIA VAN DER MADE DOG TRAINING, ALKMAAR (THE NETHERLANDS)
“Denise was recommended to me by a friend. I have been very successful in building my current business. However, I noticed that I didn’t feel much joy or fulfilment. I wanted to work with people and do meaningful work, but I wasn’t sure what to do. Denise took me through a process to uncover my life purpose, followed by an inquiry and ideation process to get clarity on what kind of business could express my purpose. I am now clear on what I love doing the most, who I want to work with, and how I can make the difference in my communities that I want to make.”

NATHAN HUGHES, FOUNDER, NEWCASTLE (AUSTRALIA)
“It really is an amazing space of being able to show up as your biggest self and being heard. It’s the room and space that Denise creates. She is really good at listening, is very unassuming and listens for what’s possible. There is a great elegance with which she listens. She has a lot of compassion. When I come to her I feel I have a space to put it all out there without judgement and be able to look at it with compassion and growth.”

TANIA BADIYI, FOUNDER OF BODY EQ, NEW YORK (USA)
“What I love about working with Denise is the support, the accountability and having someone by my side who wants me to succeed. The biggest changes for me are the integrity towards myself, I have let go of my self-doubt and I am free of the things that block me. I believe I can actually do it.”
