Denise- Your Health & Wellness coach

---

Welcome—I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Denise, and I’m a Health and Wellness Practitioner, Nutrition Specialist, and former Personal Trainer and Exercise Therapist. Originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I now call Greece, New York my home. I’m also a proud mother of two incredible children and a grateful grandmother to two bright, funny, and spirited grandchildren.

Before I discovered my true calling, I spent many years as a realtor. While I found success in that field, I knew deep down it wasn’t aligned with my deeper purpose. Everything changed when I faced a life-altering health crisis. After years of unexplained illness, I was diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus, which progressed into esophageal cancer. Doctors gave me just one year to live—unless I underwent a drastic, high-risk procedure.

Thanks to an extraordinary medical team and a complex surgery that included the implantation of a man-made esophagus, I survived. I’ll be sharing more about that transformational journey on my podcast—including a special episode with the surgeon who helped save my life.

Recovery brought clarity. I realized my life needed to change—my marriage had ended, my work no longer inspired me, and most of all, I knew I was meant to help others heal. I didn’t know how at first, but I trusted that inner knowing and followed it.

Over the years, I’ve served in many roles—personal trainer, exercise therapist, and child counselor with Catholic Community Services. Like many women, I spent years focused on raising my children and supporting those around me. But after my children grew up and I navigated a divorce, I made a powerful decision: to invest in myself and return to school. I earned my degree as a Health and Wellness Practitioner and began living the life I was meant to lead.

Today, I offer holistic coaching and classes in Yoga, Meditation, Culinary Wellness, and more—both online and in person. My mission is simple: to help you feel better, live longer, and reconnect with your inner vitality and joy. I’ll be your guide and accountability partner, but the real transformation comes from within you.

This work is more than a profession—it’s my purpose. I want to support you long before you experience the kind of health wake-up call I faced. You deserve to feel well, confident, and deeply alive. Whether you're navigating change, managing stress, looking for renewed purpose, or simply ready to invest in your well-being—I’m here for you.

I’m also currently pursuing certification as an end-of-life doula, providing compassionate support to individuals and families during life’s most sacred transitions.

Are you ready to reclaim your energy, your confidence, and your sense of joy? If so, you’re exactly where you need to be.

La Bella Vita means The Beautiful Life. I believe life is truly beautiful—and you deserve to live every moment of it fully.

Let’s begin your journey to wellness.

With gratitude and care,
Denise
