Denise was born in Arnhem on 21 July 1972, married to René, two children and lived in Zuidlaren for some 17 years. She has had her own practice since 2007, now in Ubbena, for coaching, training and therapeutic interventions. Since 2016, Denise started bringing exercises from kickboxing into her clients' developmental issues. Not much later, Denise enthusiastically apprenticed with Semmy and trains weekly herself.
Especially for clients with aggression problems, Denise contacted Semmy Schilt at the time, to give these clients a safe basis to work with.
In recent years, kickboxing in combination with coaching, training & therapy has proved suitable for various themes:
- Growth in assertiveness, self-confidence and acting confidently
- Recovery from trauma or other unpleasant experiences
- Prevention and recovery from burnout/depression
- Behavioural problems
- More effective team collaboration
- Leadership training for managers
- Training of coaches and trainers
Denise regularly deploys kickboxing exercises during coaching or even EMDR therapy. Denise and Semmy also organise workshops and training sessions for professionals, managers and teams, among others.
