"Denise introduced me to coaching.  The coaching process has been a life-changing experience for me. . . As a result of her guidance, I feel I'm much more in touch with myself and what is most important to me.  From tolerations to purpose, time chart to Tru Values, I've learned to better focus my energies to achieve my goals.

Denise's effectiveness as a coach is due in large part to her integrity.  I always felt safe sharing personal information that was necessary to my progress.  I also knew she would be straight with me and willing to tell me what I needed to hear.  This was always done in a very positive manner.  In fact, 'positive' is probably the word that defines Denise's style best.  Kind, listening, encouraging, real, intuitive, informative, helpful, caring;  I could go on for pages.  Denise is the ideal coach.  

I would highly recommend Denise as a Life Coach.  Her intuitive, caring style is the perfect complement to self-discovery and achieving one's personal goals."

"The coaching helped me shift my attitude of 'being stuck' and not knowing where I was going.  It opened up a different way of looking at my situation and offered me optional roads to explore.  It allowed me to sort through by physically/mentally/spiritually doing different tasks that the coaching asked of me. . . I had a breakthrough at the end which you allowed me to see, . . . to be in the present moment.  Some of the techniques (tolerations, delicious habits) will continue to impact my life positively.  The exploration of core values will be a continuing item to look at.

You intuitively knew what were my strengths and my confused areas.  Your compassionate nature is immediately noticeable.  You challenged me but backed off when you felt that I was confused and offered a different way of looking at the situation . . . your ability to adjust to my needs was great!"

"You came to me at a turning point in my life and have presented me with skills to help me easily step forward onto the path of my future. . . You always approach me and my topics with such gentleness and caring.  I'm not sure what has been more valuable--the focus you help me create weekly or the fieldwork which helps me observe, analyze and learn from all the levels affected by this work.  It's been wonderful to feel my true self awakening when I thought she was lost.

I would recommend you as a coach in a heartbeat!  I feel you bring a roomful of guides/angels with you to our sessions.  I know now how easy and yet at the same time how hard it is to do this work.  When it is addressed amazing things just begin to happen. . . The coaching is starting a chain reaction of little 'quakes' inside me that are gently and successfully causing forward movement for me.  I now know that I have a way to clarify what I need to focus on, how to proceed and work on it.

You have many strengths that have aided in this process.  Your ability to make it safe for me--safe enough to open up my deepest thoughts, feelings, and beliefs is a true gift and truly safe.  Your intuition makes me feel as if you have almost experienced, by my side, the things in my life that have brought me to who I am now."

"My experience with Denise has been soft and gentle; earth shaking and life changing.  It feels like help from a valued, long-time friend who knows me inside and out. . . I have never felt lead to water I didn't want, or wasn't ready, to drink from.  You help me learn to identify and break down large issues into achievable steps.  Denise's skill, knowledge, and organization are a foundation for her gentle, supportive and intuitive coaching.  I am being guided to see in a profoundly different way where I am and steps to get to where I want to be.  I now see the 'onion peel' levels that infuse my life.  Most importantly, I am learning to hear and listen to my inner voice where my true knowing and direction exists."

"Through the sessions with Denise, I have embodied the wisdom of honoring myself, listening to my inner guide to make healthy decisions, and feel more relaxed inside my body.  Taking me through the journey of defining and
really looking at my needs has helped me understand my life path, and has acted to solidify and ground me....I feel heard.   I love her compassionate and caring listening, her thoughtful and wise suggestions, and her gentle
yet solidly intuitive understanding of life.   I would highly recommend her to assist you in finding your passion, getting in touch with your most loving self, and following your heart to fully manifest what you need and
wish to bring into your life.  Denise is a great life coach."
