“Everything you’ve always wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair
Hi, I’m Denise, and this is my story…
Once upon a time, there was an Italian girl, shy and introverted, who grew up in a humble village in northern Italy. Uninterested in academics, she began working at 15, navigating a world filled with uncertainties, fears, and feelings of invisibility, worthlessness, and inadequacy. These challenges sparked her curiosity about human psychology, leading her to dive into personal growth and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a journey that transformed her life forever.
She devoured books on self-help and NLP with a passion she’d never known. The more she learned, the stronger her desire grew to break free from frustration and negative emotions that felt out of place in her world. She was determined to find her true self and her path to success.
After years of unfulfilling jobs and relationships, she took a bold step. Sitting at her computer, she searched for opportunities abroad. Armed with years of NLP study and personal growth, she aced a three-day interview and landed a job as an entertainer, marking the start of a new chapter.
Her journey took her to four countries, Egypt, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Australia, filled with successes and setbacks. One particularly tough moment came while working on a remote farm in Australia, surrounded by spiders, isolation, and uncertainty. Feeling trapped, she leaned on her NLP training to manage anxiety, fears, and insecurities, refusing to let those moments define her.
Then came a life-changing call: an opportunity to work remotely in personal development with an American company. This gave meaning to her struggles and set her on a path to empower others. Returning to Italy, she embarked on a rigorous education process, eventually moving back to Portugal to pursue her professional dreams.
“My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, and most had mixed results… but it is the effort that’s heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight.” – George R.R. Martin
Now, as a Real Estate Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Agent with over 20 years of experience and €3M+ in sales across products and services, I’m a proud entrepreneur and passionate dreamer. Since 2018, I’ve been certified by the iNLP Center and am an ICF member, specializing in empowering real estate agents to overcome self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and unresourceful mindsets to skyrocket their performance.
Through Heroes Coaching, I help agents, often introverted, anxious, or struggling with low confidence, transform their careers. Using pragmatic NLP techniques, proven sales strategies, and transformative coaching, I guide them to clarify their goals, elevate their personal brand, and close deals with confidence. My sessions, fueled by passion and authenticity, typically resolve challenges in 1-3 sessions, delivering impactful, lasting change.
My mission is to shift real estate agents from a survivor mindset to a Hero mindset, helping them dominate their markets and live fulfilling, successful lives. With an approach rooted in authenticity, courage, positivity, and strategic insight, I’m here to inspire agents to unlock their full potential and achieve extraordinary results in real estate. Denise
In 2014, the company Akisintasaude, Lda was born, founded by the managing partner, Joaquim Jorge, who is also an Ayurvedic Medicine Therapist. This company emerged with the need to recover, improve, and maintain the health of Portuguese society through natural and holistic methods, particularly Ayurveda. In 2017, over 200 patients visited the clinical center of akiSintaSaude, Lda., where more than 530 interventions, including consultations and therapies, were conducted. Some of these interventions were accompanied by students from Technical and Therapist courses, as part of their professional internship, under the supervision of the company’s Therapists.
Based on the philosophy of Ayurveda, our team focuses on improving the quality of life and health in an integral manner, viewing the human being as a whole. In addition to various massage therapies, we emphasize diagnostic consultations where the imbalance to be treated is identified and the treatment is defined, which includes: daily routine, nutrition, herbal therapy, aromatherapy, physical activity, and some yoga and meditation practices.
