Wellness Coaching
There is healing in knowing nothing, together.
Embrace the beauty of being fully human—messy, meaningful, and wildly alive.
My clients are in different seasons, but they share a common thread: they're ready to live more honestly, more fully, and more connected to what really matters.
I love working with any and all of the following:
Coaches, entrepreneurs, creatives, and wellness professionals needing a nourishing place to fill their cup.
For those who want to simplify, slow down, and re-center their lives and get off the ferris wheel of personal development. Maybe you’ve spent time in the self-help, diet protocols, biohacks, or new-age world, only to find yourself stuck in a cycle of constant seeking without real clarity.
Women beginning to tune further into their health; exploring food, movement, and self-trust in a sustainable way. You’re ready for balance and you know that wellness is much more than nutrition. You want to enjoy your life and feel well enough to share your gifts and serve your mission.
For those ready to take risks again and build lives that align with their values. Your old goals, motivation, and way of living have changed. Now, you're in a transitional space, searching for your most authentic next steps.
Women in a tender unraveling who need nervous system support and a place to land. (IYKYK. Maybe you’re not breaking, you’re breaking open)
For deep thinkers intrigued by the intelligence of light, mitochondria, macro- and micro-ecosystems, and circadian design, and how these forces shape mood, energy, and resilience.
Women feeling the call of God on their heart and feeling open to allowing that to be a part of their healing process.
Clients navigating specific issues like hormonal imbalances, anxiety, painful periods, or chronic fatigue and are ready to approach healing with honesty and curiosity.
Humans feeling like they could use a non-judgmental human-to-human interaction to explore emotions that require a witness to feel through. (Have you ever noticed the tears are no-shows when you’re alone, but they show up in interactions you’d rather they didn’t? It’s challenging to move through big stuff in isolation.)
Those navigating the complexities of midlife—facing shifts in identity, relationships, purpose, and the body. Those moving through loss, changing hormones, aging parents, or questions of meaning, ready to explore what’s emerging beneath the surface.
Women who have spent a good portion of their lives under the consistent weight of doing, independence, and control and who are now ready to lean into more ease, trust, and joy.
Those who've been chasing "fixing" for years and are now ready to soften, trust their bodies, and feel at home again.
My Approach
This isn’t about trends, more distractions, temporary fixes, or staying on the merry-go-round of “healing”. It’s about building a life that honors your rhythms, your lived experience, and the season you’re in so you can experience genuine results and fall back in love with your one and only life. My coaching is warm, spacious, chill, understanding, loving, and joyful.
This work doesn’t rush, fix, or analyze. It meets you where you are, not with prepackaged answers, but with presence, perspective, and practical tools for real change. I bring compassion, humility, and a deep respect for our shared powerful and fallible humanity. You already carry wisdom; I’m here to help you trust it, and to walk with you as it takes form.
My Style
Honest, Grounded, and Joyful – Professionalism, courtesy, and consistency are part of who I am. I bring both experience and expertise to the table, but this offering goes beyond qualifications. At its core, this work is about heart and human understanding. It's about meeting people with compassion, creating space for uncovering truth, and honoring the value of genuine, person-to-person care.
Rooted in Lived Experience – I’ve moved through unraveling, health challenges, and bold turning points, not just to survive them, but to meet something more honest on the other side. What I offer is grounded in what I’ve lived: not theory, but embodied clarity, hard-won peace, acceptance, and tools that meet real life.
Individualized – You are not a checklist. Every session is bespoke. I am also discerning in selecting aligned clients.
Nervous system-informed – We slow down so your body can feel safe enough to move forward. Lasting and real results require honesty and space to sit with those uncomfortable moments rather than turning away.
Deep + practical – Big-picture perspective. Pragmatic and Personable. Small, doable steps.
Intentional & Aligned with Nature - This work invites you to return to what matters; your rhythms, your values, your pace. It’s not about more. It’s about meaning. We look to nature, to simplicity, and to what actually sustains you.
Unconventional & Congruent – This work honors what’s original in you. Not the polished, expected version, but the deeper current beneath it. You don’t have to fit a mold to grow. Together, we follow what feels true, not what looks perfect. This is an invitation to live in congruence with your values, your instincts, and your unique pace.
Open to the mystery – I am a witness to the ineffable, the miraculous, the moments of grace that require more than logic. I am learning to surrender and guide from my heart and from love. My most impactful point of service comes from my life experiences, keeping a curious beginner's mindset, and humbly honoring the beauty of the unknown. Logic has its limits. I'm lovingly devoted to the ineffable.
Choose Your Path
People come to me in different seasons. Many of my clients find themselves in one of these phases:
-
The Noticing: You’re starting to sense a shift—subtle symptoms, slower recovery, a deeper knowing that your current pace isn’t sustainable, and perhaps even leading you down a difficult path. The first sign of change is subtle: a quiet protest from the body, a whisper from the mind. You haven’t hit a wall, but you can feel it approaching. You’re ready to tune in now, before discomfort becomes disconnection. You want real support, practical tools, and a way back to your body and spirit that feels grounded, nourishing, and wise.
Focus: Early intervention, reconnection, body literacy, and practical support rooted in self-trust.
-
The Unraveling: You’ve been carrying more than your share—physically, emotionally, energetically. Your system is tired, your emotions feel close to the surface, and something in you knows it’s time to stop pushing. The real issue isn’t that you’re falling apart; it’s that you’re resisting the invitation to break open. You’re not looking for a fix, you’re looking for a return. A slowing down. A space to feel, process, and reconnect with yourself. You’d love a warm and grounded space to fill your cup.
Focus: Nervous system repair, emotional safety, softening, and gentle reconnection with self.
-
The Rising: You’ve reconnected with what matters. Now you’re ready to stretch. You want to take aligned risks, move with intentional action, and build a life that reflects your deepest knowing. You’re ready to explore your core integrity—and to honor it. From that place, you begin to build self-trust, the kind that empowers bold action. You want real support to stay accountable, embodied, and clear as you take your next brave steps. You’re ready to move with intention, trust your instincts, and create the impact you know is possible.
Focus: Aligned momentum, clarity, authentic accountability, and strategic action.
What Working Together Looks Like
Our sessions are a mix of conversation, inquiry, body-based awareness, and practical support. Whatever’s alive for you is welcome here. I have the ability to hold space for you to explore your full spectrum of feelings, power, pain, and joy.
This work is collaborative, grounded, and always led by your pace. I’m not here to chase trends or feed the noise. My focus is on real, lasting change, not viral moments or flashy tactics. I live in alignment with the guidance I offer, showing up with depth and clarity to help you create meaningful progress that goes beyond the surface.
At its heart, this work is about being human, together. This is a space built on trust, ease, and the joy of meaningful connection—let’s honor that and enjoy the process. If this calls to you, I'd be honored to support your journey.
What’s next?
If you feel aligned with what I’ve shared here, I’d love to learn more about you, answer any questions you have, and support you however I can. I’m not polished, I won’t perform, I’ll meet you with realness and love, allowing you to do the same. If I’m not the right fit, I’d love to refer you or provide resources that might help you on your path. If led to do so, schedule your complimentary 45 minute intro session with the link below.
Client Testimonials
Highly recommended and a great investment within yourself!
Denise is absolutely amazing in her ability to motivate and coach based on your desires for improvement and accomplishing tasks.
The notes are amazing and help to solidify and quantify what is discussed in session. I like that the notes are clear, succinct, and really help to reiterate what has been accomplished and areas to work on and seek further improvement. The "Discover Your Motivation" tool was very helpful and the insight helped to motivate.
The goals I achieved included: Changes in diet, eating healthier with more fruits and vegetables, both fresh and frozen, dramatically increased water intake, quit smoking cigarettes, increased confidence since I’ve been taking care of myself more and feeling good, and more aware of my behaviors and how they affect my life.
Highly recommended and a great investment within yourself!
— Coaching Client, 6-Month Program
Your coaching style is gentle and supportive with a great dose of humor and realism.
I have been able to be more consistent in all of my habits. Working with you has helped to keep me honest, engaged and focused on my goals. I’ve been able to really hone in on what my values and priorities are. Your coaching style is gentle and supportive with a great dose of humor and realism. I can get way ahead of myself and too “big picture” — which is overwhelming, and contributes to me giving up more often than not. You have helped me to break my goals down into manageable bite sized pieces.
— Coaching Client, 6-Month Program
Enjoyment and satisfaction for life have increased substantially.
Denise is smart, motivated, kind, and diligent. Her wisdom will not solve your problems, rather her coaching allows you to solve your own dilemmas and problems through education and motivation. I feel much more aware and cognizant of my actions, motivations, and desires. Enjoyment and satisfaction for life have increased substantially with small changes in behavior which have produced steady results. Overall I feel happier and have more positive relationships.
The session notes and positive motivation were excellent! I’m a very cautious investor who felt like the program was well worth the investment in self care!

Those expectations were exceeded, by far!
My expectations were that this would be pretty much the same as any other wellness/cleanse program I have tried minus the obligatory protein shakes.
Those expectations were exceeded, by far! Denise's program encompassed so much about modern life and the expectations placed upon us. The focus is on nurturing, doing what is right for your body, listening to what you need rather than what you think you need to accomplish. The lesson being what you need to accomplish is to nurture your self – not just on a physical level, but a soul level as well.
I deeply enjoyed the focus on women as sisters, and the group sharing that led to deep discussions about our individual yet shared experiences as women. My favorite part of the Lit By the Moon program was the holistic aspect. We learned about hormones, the effects of stress, about the importance of sleep, the effects of environmental pollutants (in our plastics etc).
It's nearly two months out from the program and I am happy to say I am still enjoying the aftereffects. My sleep is better, my diet is clean, I'm still motivated!

My physical health has changed immensely.
I would highly recommend coaching with Denise to anyone. Denise has a way about wellness. She focuses on you, who you are, what your goals are, and how you want to feel. She really takes the time to discover that about you and make you feel important. She also has a great way of helping you make the changes you want to make, in your time and judgement free. I enjoyed the fact that even on the hard days, or when I didn't hit all the goals, Denise just listened and supported and helped guide me. No judgement and that felt really good. Even when she was like a mirror and stated back to me what I had been saying, sometimes it was hard to hear, but her ability to be gentle and show you how to not be hard on yourself is so kind. My physical health has changed immensely, that has been my favorite part. And by physical I mean just GUT health. I have had gut issues for some time and I can't believe how much better I have been feeling. As far as mentally, emotionally, and physical strength, Denise encouraged me to fight for myself and know that I am worth it.
I plan to continue my working on my wellness with Denise past our first 6 sessions. I get so much out of it and really feel loved and supported after each meeting. Not only by her, but loving and supporting myself. And to be honest...I am not good at that, so any program that helps me move towards the best possible me, then how can you go wrong?! Thank you Denise!

I felt held in the energy of the divine feminine and love.
Your presentation was so beautiful and resonated so deeply with me. I felt held in the energy of the divine feminine and love. Thank you for inviting me into this space.

Denise truly has a gift.
I loved the concept of SHED. Denise walked us though a program of self examination through the lens of society and what beliefs are our own, which are learned. How can we live more authentically? The experience resonated deeply with me. I can’t wait to share the journal prompts with my daughters! Denise truly has a gift.

Develop your personalized plan that supports balance, freedom, and adaptability and liberate true and lasting wellbeing.
I blend coaching, consulting, and grounded guidance. Coaching is about asking powerful, presence-led questions that help you uncover your own answers. Consulting brings in practical, proven tools and frameworks when you're ready for next steps. And through it all, I offer tender, steady support rooted in lived experience, not just theory.
This work is a mutual commitment. I partner with clients who are ready to show up with honesty, respect, and a clear intention to grow. We get real, have fun, and enjoy the process.
My mission is to be a warm, grounded, and loving presence for my clients—supporting them in building trust in themselves and their bodies, gaining clarity, and making meaningful, aligned choices in their lives.
When I think back to the hardest moments in my life—times filled with health scares, anxiety, and a deep sense of being lost—I realize how much I needed the woman I’ve become today. Not someone to fix everything, but someone to sit with me in the mess. To offer presence without judgment, and compassion without conditions. Not from a place of distance or perfection, but from having lived it too. Someone to gently say, 'You’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re not alone.' That kind of love and understanding would have meant everything. Now, I get to be that—for myself, and for others.
I’m Denise. Nice to meet you!
In 2020, I became certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Over the past five years, I’ve deepened my knowledge through coursework and self-study in a range of disciplines.
I’ve been honored to work with dedicated clients and witness incredible transformations. My approach is holistic and embodied, bridging the gap between the pragmatic and imaginative, the scientific and spiritual. This isn’t about following a formula. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, and I don’t lead from a pedestal. This is about discovering your unique path and leaning into the real, gritty, glorious and messy human experience. Together we explore new territory, sit with the mess, rekindle joy for life, and embrace being ridiculously human with levity and love.
We don’t live to heal; we heal to live. Rather than chasing mirages of perfection or gripping onto control, we can find more peace, agility, purpose, joy, and connection. We can learn to nourish ourselves, minimize suffering, and face life’s challenges with compassion, community, and courage. And have some fun in the process! I love this work and I love connecting with aligned new clients and supporting them however I can! Thanks for being here! Hugs! Denise
P.S. I’m no longer on social media but here are a few pics of my life—with my husband, who I deeply respect and lovingly devote myself to, my sweet and rowdy dog, some of my favorite women, and some random adventures. Find me walking, reading, playing pickleball, cooking, baking, creating, eating, exploring, dancing, and living life. My work is just one small part of my life these days but when I align with the right clients, it’s such a wonderful addition.

March to the beat of your own drum.
Never ending “Fixing” is akin to conformity. How can we innovate, serve, create, and imagine what is possible if we all look, sound, and behave the same?
How can we feel safe, allowing our bodies to thrive, if we live in a perpetual state of feeling broken?
How can we authentically honor what our unique mind, body, and soul need if we continue to look around and compare or insist on convenient and manufactured solutions?
We are not machines to be fixed or conformed; perhaps more like an instrument we can learn to play and make harmonious music with. The world around us is changing, and now is the time to center ourselves in our most profound truths, values, self-trust, natural states, and grounded wisdom. When our foundations crumble, if our sense of safety is tied to the external, we can feel adrift and cling to false idols of security. The time is up for outdated ideas of diet trends, gurus, distraction, hacks, and one-size-fits-all approaches; when you're ready to apply core principles that lovingly hold you through the big stuff, schedule your free discovery call.
