Is the quality of your thinking negatively impacting your health, decisions, relationships, and behaviours both at work and in your personal life? Are you concerned that your child is suffering from anxiety and would benefit from one-to-one coaching to stay motivated? Transformative coaching can rewire and recalibrate the mind in a positive way.

Transformative Coaching is for all people, youth and adults, in all fields and walks of life. I’ve worked with children as young as eight years old and seniors at 74; it is never too early or late to profoundly realise how resilient every human being is at their core!

Why do people choose Transformative Coaching?

People come for various reasons; there is something in your life you would like more clarity, to resolve conflict, improve relationships, grow as a leader, enhance performance, or simply feel well again, both mentally and physically. Whatever the external circumstance, transformation happens inside the human mind, not out there!

How I help you?

As a National Coach, I realised the ultimate jewel of human performance is not to give advice based on my knowledge and experience but to unlock your unique potential and genius inside. I will help you to:

  • Learn to manage your mind, emotions, energy and body in a way that serves you and those you love.
  • Heighten your self-awareness that you catch yourself before causing suffering that you might later regret.
  • Understand your tendencies for reactions in specific situations, break the cycle of limiting habitual behaviours.
  • Know that it is OK to feel anxiety, without meaning it has no power to stop you from stepping up!
  • Realise the power of being present to each moment, free of memories and future projections.

Which of these following perspectives do you most resonate and how often is your mind pre-occupied, stealing your clarity and joy?

  • Stop, don’t ruminate about something that hasn’t happened yet?

  • Someone has wronged you, and it feels impossible to move on?

  • Grief and loss are painful feelings, which steal your energy.

  • When things don’t happen the way, you want it!

  • You convince yourself you are right, yet others don’t agree with you!

  • You feel alone not having a significant other to share your path.

  • Your relationship is in tatters, but you think it isn’t your fault.

What People Say About Working With Denise

Amelia Davies

Denise’s new approach is great for teamwork, we don’t get upset with each other anywhere near as much, and get over disappointments quickly.

Mark Harris

I reached out to Denise when my world seemed to be falling apart. I had recently received a diagnosis of two different types of cancer; my son was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and had little time to live. I did not know how to process all of this, and my mental state spiralled! Within ten minutes of quiet time with Denise, I felt everything lifting from my shoulders and a feeling of calm settling in its place. Working with Denise has given me a deeper understanding and knowledge of the mind, it keeps me on a healthy path not only in general day-to-day life but as a life skill in my work environment and sport. Forever grateful to you, Denise.

Grayson Hart

I enjoyed speaking with Denise about the mind and performance. The conversations were very insightful and always had me challenging and questioning the status quo regarding mental performance. The critical pointer Denise gave was that our natural state is freedom of mind, clarity and potential. We don’t need to overexert the mind to find these states. Searching for them often leads us further into tension. I found this very relatable to direct experiences in life and sport.

Hannah Salem

I used to struggle to remain calm and confident in stressful situations, what others think of me, what would happen if I did something wrong? We are all capable of achieving, no part of our abilities is lacking! This programme has truly changed me for the best and is perfect during my final year of University.

Charles Mayhew

After a close family member benefitted hugely, I decided to work with Denise. It transformed my perspective and how I now live my life, clear-minded and knowing what’s truly important to me, which is so relaxing and enriching. I used to live in a place of “It’ll be better when”, so I was never present. “When I’ve sold the business..!” “When I’ve retired..!” When I’ve bought this house or car etc…..!” This program has given me my life back!

Jack Pransky

Denise Holland is one of my best “students.” She is one of the few students I have asked to teach with me, and I was and remain very impressed with her presence, her knowledge, her wisdom, her feeling and her responsiveness. I would say anyone who works with Denise is in excellent hands.

Charlie Harris

Before I took part in Denise’s Health and Well Being programme, I stressed in many situations; it would prevent me from taking part in different things. I now look at the situations holistically and not let thoughts prevent me from putting myself forward.

Matthew Roberts

I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with Denise over a cup of coffee when we met in America. It would be easy to accuse me of exaggeration or sensationalising by making the following statement, but I can only offer you the truth as I see it. The truth is that those few minutes changed my life. I had spent the last 15 years pursuing peak performance, competing internationally in the High jump and achieving a lifetime best of 2.26m. Through my love of this sport, I became a seeker, wanting to uncover the truth of the mind and how to reach that flow state. I’m not saying that I’m now enlightened, but I know that a beautiful, peaceful, loving state is only one thought away, for that, you have my complete and utter gratitude.”

I am so grateful to have worked with Denise, I used to float in and out of different moods and believed it was other things and situations causing them. Honestly, this understanding has changed my life.

Vicky Norman

Meeting Denise was perfect timing, written in the stars, foretold, whatever. My world was falling apart, my marriage had ended, my child was in serious trouble, and I was upping sticks and moving up North to run the biggest, most complex project of my career.
Four months later, my project is an astonishing success, my marriage is back on track, and best of all, my baby is coming back to me. I am different at work, at home, inside my head, and others can see it. The dark days aren’t dark any more because they don’t last, and the light days are far more frequent. Denise’s workj isn’t just amazing in the world of sport but any area of life.
