Denise is continually inspired by the way Yoga can positively transform a life at any age by setting constructive thoughts and habits. In 2013, after witnessing the birth of her best friend's first child, Denise became increasingly aware of the need for support through labor and felt compelled to empower birthing people through the role of birth doula. She incorporates her knowledge of movement and breath as she supports the family pre birth and through the birth experience. Denise finds the sparkle in each day when sharing the sacred practice of moving from within. She is deeply grateful for her family, friends,teachers and students for all of the guidance and support along the way.
