I help parents, teens, and young adults cultivate more connection and intention in their lives and relationships.

Through awareness of body sensations, feelings, and needs, we move from confusion to clarity and develop a more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others.

I'm Denise.

As well as being a coach, I am a mother of three children from a third-culture background, married, and passionate about people in all their complexity. I started this work because I felt a strong calling to contribute to a world with more respect between adults and children—where we all feel responsible for the well-being of children, because we all are.

 

Coaching is my way of fulfilling my need to contribute: to support parents and people who work with children in a way that promotes a greater connection between them. When we communicate with children, are we clear about our own needs? Do we understand what the child needs behind a particular behavior?

​

I also believe that teenagers and young adults face unique challenges, and I can contribute especially by helping them listen to their body’s messages and, with that in mind, seek what is important to them. This also involves listening to an inner voice that isn't always kind and learning to offer themselves the compassion they so often extend to others.

​

My passion for coaching lies in seeing how, by listening to people and encouraging them with questions, they can learn more and more about themselves. The metaphor I like to use for my work is that of a mirrored lake, where we create a space for you to observe yourself, contemplating all the beauty you carry within. This also means seeing what you don’t like about yourself and what you would like to change. Sometimes, this process of looking at ourselves can create movement in the water that prevents you from recognizing yourself, or it may take time to see your reflection clearly again.

​

I am a certified coach—CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach). I believe in a work model based on a true partnership, where both coach and client are fully present and focused on what really matters—personal and/or professional fulfillment.

​

Alongside this, I bring over six years of study and practice in Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This approach, centered on awareness of feelings and needs, allows me to help clients find greater clarity, emotional literacy, and alignment in their choices. By learning to listen not only to words but also to the body’s messages and emotions, we uncover valuable insights that often remain hidden in our busy, rational lives.

​

I work with a broad range of clients—both in personal and corporate settings—as a professional and life coach. My clients include parents, adolescents, and professionals seeking to create more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling lives. I also have extensive training in parenting and emotional intelligence, and supporting parents through the challenges and joys of raising children is a particular passion of mine.

FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS • ACT MORE INTENTIONALLY • DISCOVER WHAT TRULY MATTERS •

My approach

A supportive, collaborative coaching approach that combines deep listening, emotional awareness, and self-compassion to help you reconnect with what truly matters, shift limiting patterns, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Self-compassion

I integrate principles of self-compassion into my coaching to help clients relate to themselves with Kind understanding. Instead of self-judgment or pressure, we cultivate a supportive inner voice that allows space for growth, resilience, and lasting change.
