Empathetic, Nurturing Guide Who Creates Deep Transformation
Denise is an incredible leader/guide, and I feel so grateful to have experienced this retreat under her care. From the very beginning, she provided deep insight and thoughtful preparation, ensuring that we felt supported before, during, and after the ceremony. One of the most powerful moments for me was the rapéh ceremony she led, as well as the one-on-one integration session—both of which left a lasting impact. Denise’s ability to hold space with empathy and nurturing energy made it so much easier for me to open up, something that doesn’t come naturally to me. I truly appreciated her gentle, attentive presence throughout the experience.
Her voice is absolutely beautiful, and during the main ceremony, it was a source of deep comfort and grounding. She has such a pure and radiant soul, and her presence made the retreat feel even more sacred and transformative.
I cannot recommend Denise enough—she is truly a gift, and anyone who has the chance to work with her is incredibly lucky. Read More
