Hi, I'm Denise!
Born and raised in beautiful British Columbia. I am a Mom of two beautiful young adults that provide me with continuous life lessons. I am a dog person and need to have one at my side continuously. I have had the pleasure of living in Nova Scotia, Alberta and of course British Columbia.
I completed a 40 year career working with a multitude of families, children and youth. My career included; direct clinical work, early intervention, prevention, curriculum development, teaching, and completing my career in policy development. During this timeframe I completed a number of Diploma programs, an Undergraduate and Graduate degree.
Throughout my life I have focused on a number of quality of life modalities in humanities, spirituality, arts and healing. I continue to explore, train, learn, practice and experience each of these modalities in different capacities. The goal is to support individuals to improve their quality of life.
Specifically, I silversmith (wire wrap & forged settings), grind stones to create cabachons, and rock hound. All these treasures come from our beautiful earth and have been produced over the millenia. I continue to be amazed with the textures, colours, shapes, and energies of rock, stone and crystals discovered throughout the world. Additionally, I was introduced to yoga a number of years ago and this led me to gain competence in Clarity Breathwork, Reiki Healing, Crystal Healing, Chakra Balancing, and Moonology. I combine all my experience, love of the earth and humanity to provide energy, care and love to support our paths in life.
