Denise is on Faculty with the Neufeld Institute where she is immersed in Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s relational developmental theory and currently exploring Indigenous Rituals as most naturally providing the context for healing, learning and transformation. Denise is a consultant and Parent/Caregiver Coach dedicated to supporting adults to make sense of children.
Denise works extensively with First Nations in British Columbia and other parts of Canada and is a wife and mother to two highly sensitive, intense and bright boys. Denise’s passion for the Neufeld approach was ignited when she sought support as a parent and experienced Dr. Neufeld’s teachings to be in complete alignment with her deepest intuitions about parenting. Denise has been able to share her insights with parents in the First Nations community to empower them to be their child’s best bet and to look to traditional approaches to parenting that focus on attachment and life long, whole person development.
Denise works alongside parents and caregivers to tease apart complex childhood issues, such as:
- Aggression
- Foster and Adoption
- Learning and behaviour problems
- Self-harm
- Anxiety
- Developmental delays and diagnosis
- Hypersensitivity, ASD, and FASD
- Oppositionality
