About

Hi, I’m Denisse - Harvard-educated and Cambridge-trained Life Transitions Coach.

I'm a compassionate international educator and Life Transitions Coach dedicated to guiding individuals through profound transformation.

With a rich background in developmental psychology from Harvard University and extensive certifications in trauma resolution and somatic practices, I specialize in helping clients navigate life changes, understand how their past has shaped their present, and build a more fulfilling future.

I create a deeply welcoming and encouraging space where healing begins, empowering you to rewrite your life story.

Life Transition Coaching

Major life transitions—from divorce to relocation—can feel overwhelming. You don't have to go through it alone. My coaching offers a safe and compassionate space to help you heal, find your inner wisdom, and create a fulfilling new chapter.

Career Change Coaching

Considering a career change? You don't have to navigate it alone. I'll help you define your goals and co-create an actionable strategy based on your values and strengths, guiding you toward a more fulfilling professional chapter.

Move Abroad Coaching

Planning a move abroad? You don't have to navigate this major change alone. We'll create a plan to address all aspects of your move—from logistics and culture to your emotional wellbeing—so you can settle in with confidence.

Trauma-Informed Coaching

Ready for a new chapter but feel stuck? We'll use mind-body somatic practices to address how past wounds can create blocks and self-sabotaging patterns. Together, we'll help you regulate your nervous system and move forward.

Denisse, I really liked the session we had. Before taking it, I felt very distressed, without hope, thinking that I was going to live enslaved by my debts, but one session was enough to realize that it was the fear that paralyzed me and did not let me see further. In the end, it was like feeling that I have many paths to move forward. I thank you so much for guiding me and making my life full of hope and positivity again.

Denisse, I am very grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with you on my career goals. I felt heard, and I found it became possible to clarify my thoughts, which initially were quite jumbled! Your questions were super helpful in encouraging me to reflect. When our session ended I was filled with positive energy, the future felt more open than before.

During my coaching session with Denisse, I was able to explore some changes that I would like to implement in my life. I work at a school, but I've been a drummer since I was young, and for many reasons, I wasn't able to dedicate time to this in the past. One of my goals in life is to create music and I'm collaborating with Denisse to reach this goal.
