I’m Denise — a Therapist of Mind, Body & Soul, a Mental Health & Life Coach, and a practitioner of healing through massage, Kambo, and sacred plant medicine.

But I’ll say this upfront: I am not the Healer.

The higher power does that. I’m just the vessel — the Certified Link.

I’ve always known I was different.

As a child, my hands stayed warm even in the winter — never cold. I now understand this as clairsentience: the gift of feeling, sensing, and healing through energy.

I could feel everything — the emotions people didn’t speak, the shifts in a room, the silent undercurrents.  I always knew I had a purpose to heal. Throughout my little life I often wondered how it would unfold — and then, just like that, you’re thrown into the chaos of the adult world — so it’s fair to say… my path into this work wasn’t planned — it was divinely led.

After beginning a personal healing journey in 2016, I was thrown even deeper into the fire in 2020. Just when it felt like life was aligning, trauma returned in an unexpected form — and I found myself searching for answers that the outside world simply couldn’t offer.

That’s when plant medicine found me — or rather, when I was ready to receive it.

In 2022, I was introduced to the sacred medicines and began my journey into the jungle of Peru. I didn’t want second-hand information — I needed to go to the source. I sat with, studied under, and was lovingly received by the Metès tribe, who I now proudly call my family.

What I experienced with these plants blew me away.

They changed my life.

I knew then that I had to study them — not just for myself, but to help others, especially those struggling with mental health, addiction, and trauma in underrepresented and underserved communities.
