Denise has been featured on national television, in a TEDx talk on neuroplasticity, in publications such as American Fitness and at internationally acclaimed facilities such as Canyon Ranch Health and Fitness Resort (Tucson, AZ), The Oaks Spa (Ojai, CA), Rosy’s Little Village (Agistri, Greece), at Chianchiano Terme Spa (Tuscany, Italy), aboard Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, and at the Pebble Beach Resorts (Pebble Beach, CA).
Inspired by her own spinal challenges and the dramatic ways her parents aged so differently, Denise spent 12 years studying, researching exercise, movement and neuroscience and leading pilot programs in a top 100 US hospital, in a graduate program in gerontology and as a graduate of Dr. Sarah McKay’s Neuroscience Academy.
She has taught all ages, body types and abilities, from seniors to children (who love the 21 tools of Ageless Grace® presented in our 4EverFit4KIDZ!™ program), dancers and non-dancers, golfers and other athletes. Denise has also worked extensively with patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson's and MS, and those using wheelchairs, walkers and canes.
While anyone can benefit from the Ageless Grace® Brain Health program, it is ideally used by those who wish to prevent or delay cognitive decline.
Dense was also an International Nia™ Faculty Trainer for nearly 14 years, a 1st Degree Black Belt Nia Instructor, and AFFA Certified personal Trainer, Senior Fitness Specialist and international presenter and keynote speaker for such organizations as IDEA, National Recreation & Parks Association, Functional Aging Institute, ICAA (International Council on Active Aging), Aging Projects International, Recreational Therapists Association, American Society on Aging and Aging in America.
Finally, Denise and Ageless Grace trainer Lana Gelb were invited to present the benefits of neuroplasticity provided by Ageless Grace at the prestigious Harvard Medical School.
