I help purpose-driven coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders prioritize what matters, care for their well-being, and build the skills they need to communicate, lead, and grow with clarity and sustainability.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here.

I work with high-caliber people that are craving something real, beyond the noise, pressure, or quick fixes, and are ready to invest in themselves with integrity and authentic support.

Maybe you’re the one others turn to—the coach, creative, or visionary—now needing support that meets you with the same depth you offer.

Maybe things have become a little unbalanced and subtle signs are asking for your attention before they grow louder. Maybe you need a safe place to get curious and listen to the wisdom your body or life is wanting to share with you.

Maybe it’s time to practice speaking clearly, leading confidently, and showing up fully in work, relationships, or your next step. I help you build these skills so you can offer the meaningful impact you want to make.

Or maybe you’re ready to risk again to shift direction, clarify your values, and create a life that feels true, not just functional.

My clients come from many paths: coaches, creatives, leaders, and those navigating change. But they all share one thing—a desire to reconnect with themselves honestly and sustainably.

If this speaks to you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Denise, a coach, artist, and creative entrepreneur who cherishes depth and levity, good light, and the wild beauty of being human.

With 20+ years in the creative world—photographer, art director, brand recruiter, and founder of a small artistic boutique on the Oregon Coast—my work has taken many creative shapes over the years. These days, I help others do the same: slow down, tune in, and reconnect with what’s real.

I coach with equal parts curiosity and compassion, space for emotional honesty, ineffable silence, and the quiet courage it takes to grow. Expect imperfection, unpolished poetic moments, a little laughter, and those unexpected gifts of grace where something quietly mends.

I’m fueled by faith, sunshine, music, creative expression, and meaningful connection. If you're craving realness, heart, and a bit of resilient humor, you’re in the right place.

I've never fit in the box, and neither does my coaching.

Hello.

The Golden Shadow Gateway Game.

Open the door to discovery with the Golden Shadow Gateway Game, a beautifully designed, art-filled experience that guides you solo or in community through the layers of your inner landscape to find clarity, connection, and creative breakthroughs.

Grab instant access on me. Because most times the best journeys start with a little curiosity.

Here’s what players are saying:

“I played this game solo when I was looking for clarity and direction. I allowed myself to intuitively pick the images/cards and the questions were just what I needed to clarify my next steps and self reflect. I love the depth of the game and the intention. I can't wait to play it in a group!” – Jennifer A

“Golden Shadow Gateway is a fun and reflective experience that helped me work through some blocks I didn't even realize I was experiencing. In one round of the game, I made a plan of action towards a goal I am currently working on. It would be a great tool within relationships and groups to deepen connections! Also, the graphics are 10/10!” – Kayla C

Joy, levity, imperfection, wonder, and grace are welcome here.

Coaching for those that recognize that thriving has to include honoring the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being.

For those who know that more information doesn’t always lead to action, and that progress often begins with supportive, human-to-human interaction.
