My Mission: Your Best Life
My name is Denae and I am a life coach, aspiring author, mother...and a work in progress. My mission is to provide you with the coaching, tools and support to help you create more happiness, meaning and magic in your life. You deserve to experience what it's like to truly find your BLISS. I would like to help.
Through my journey, I have discovered my own path to happiness and fulfillment after attempting, time after time, to force a square peg into a round hole. For the better part of my life, I tried my best to be what I thought others wanted me to be – first attending University as a Pre-Law student, working diligently for many years in my “job”, then returning to University once again to complete my MBA to get an even better “job”. I even started my own company---twice. But without the proper focus and tools, I found myself feeling completely isolated, overwhelmed, alone, unfulfilled and unmotivated. In short...I was burnt out.
Eventually though, I began to listen and pay closer attention to my own inner voice. I learned, through much trial and error, how to uncover (perhaps for the very first time) my own passion for life. It has not always been a smooth journey and there have been many times along the way that I have felt lost and despondent. But I have come to learn that this was a necessary part of my path, building within me the empathy and understanding to help others through their own journey.
It is now my greatest joy to help other people who are floundering, those who have lost their connection with their own inner being, to guide and assist them to recognise and follow their bliss. Rediscovering your passion for life takes a certain kind of person: one who is ready, willing and very persistent.
Through my personal and professional experience, I have learned 3 things:
- Most people go through life suffering, experiencing stress and other symptoms because of their life and work situations
- These same people have untapped potential and innate gifts that are their keys to happiness and fulfillment
- Only a very small percentage (less than 5%) will actually do anything about their situation – read a book, take a seminar or get coaching to help them break free of their self-imposed prison
That rare 5% -- people like YOU — are the ones that succeed in uncovering their own bliss! These are the people I love to coach and choose to surround myself with every day.

What can you expect from me as your coach?
A Personal Touch…
No one likes working with a professional on an important issue and feeling like just a number, a dollar sign or an inanimate object. We are all human beings and we enjoy being treated as such. I treat every client, without exception, just as I would like to be treated myself: with dignity, respect and integrity.
Accessibility…
Having access to your coach between coaching sessions as unexpected issues arise is a crucial level of support and guidance in your success. It is a powerful experience to have the support and guidance there when you need it. This is a unique level of service that I offer to all of my clients.
Open Communication…
Open and free-flowing communication is vital to a strong coaching relationship. When you engage any professional you should never be made to feel hesitant in communicating with them. I enjoy speaking with my clients. I like the people I work with, I want them to succeed and effective communication is a key ingredient in this.
Learn to Become Your Own Coach…
You are more powerful, capable, competent, and a far greater person than you currently believe yourself to be. Through your coaching experience with me, you will come to know this is true. Your life is yours, and you can learn to successfully coach yourself through it. What is standing between you and the life you want?
Hello, my name is
Denae. And one of my greatest joys is helping people discover and develop their
own unique qualities of greatness. As a Certified Life Coach, I assist my
clients to successfully, deliberately and enthusiastically embrace life's
opportunities. My goal is to help you learn some simple steps that will
allow you to feel happier, more fulfilled and improve virtually any area of
your life.
First, though, I would like to share a
bit of my background. For many, many years, I felt that there must be something
more to life. I’ve had a pretty ordinary life: I grew up in a middle-class
household, my parents divorced when I was 18, I married young, had two kids,
acquired too many bills and held good but under-paid jobs. I have worked in
numerous industries: retail, real estate, energy marketing, pharmaceuticals,
recruitment…and those are just the ones I can remember! I have educated myself
about numerous topics, studied pre-law, sociology and business. But, for some
reason, I was having difficulty taking all of that education and experience and
translating that into something meaningful and successful.
Then one day Napoleon Hill’s book,
Think and Grow Rich, stumbled into my path. I’m not even certain why I
originally picked up that particular book. But one thing is certain: nothing
has been the same since. Like anything else, timing is everything. That book
launched me onto a new path that radically changed the way I think and move
through my life, revealing more greatness with every step. I no longer view
life as the struggle it once seemed. I am finally experiencing more of what
life is supposed to be: healthy, happy and filled with wonderful opportunities.
This growth has led to some
amazing experiences. I
have had the opportunity to build two businesses from the ground up, and I have
learned first-hand the challenges and opportunities this can present. And
having made the move to the other side of the world with my husband and
daughters a couple of years ago, I am able to share on a grand scale my successes
and failures along the way in making such a huge life change.
My experiences, both
personally and professionally, have provided me with a unique ability to help
you get the very most out of your life. I am passionate about helping people
make successful and positive change in their own lives. Sometimes this means
helping people find a career or path that really taps into their own passions.
However, many times it is just a matter of rediscovering the dreams they once
had for life…which have since become buried by frustration, anxiety, work
pressures, fear, or any number of negative feelings and beliefs developed over
time. Together, we can wake up your personal power and bring your dreams back
to life, starting today!
