A lifelong learner, Denise is passionate about continually expanding her knowledge and learning new modalities each year. She loves weaving together diverse techniques to create unique and meaningful experiences that honour the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and emotions. Her work is deeply influenced by her spiritual practices in Wicca and Celtic Shamanism and by her belief that transformation happens when intention is experienced both consciously and within the subconscious mind.

Growing up deep in the countryside instilled in Denise a profound love and respect for nature, which remains at the heart of her work today. She believes that the natural world offers some of our greatest opportunities for healing, reflection, and reconnection. This reverence for nature is woven throughout her retreats through forest experiences, seasonal rituals, herbal practices, and mindful connection with the land.

Her love of music and rhythm has also become an important part of her offerings, evolving into singing circles, drumming experiences, and sound-based practices that invite participants to connect with themselves, each other, and something greater than themselves.

Through a blend of hypnosis, subconscious reprogramming, guided visualization, ritual, sound, and nature-based practices, Denise creates nurturing and transformative spaces where people can soften, reflect, heal, and align with the life they are calling in. At Avalon Wellness Retreat, she serves as a compassionate guide, helping others remember their own inner wisdom and discover the inherent power they hold to create meaningful change.

Denise Foglein is the founder of Avalon Wellness Retreat, a certified hypnotherapist, mindset coach, retreat facilitator, herbalist, and Wiccan Priestess devoted to helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom, healing, and personal transformation.

Her path into holistic wellness began after leaving an 18-year business career in search of healing from her own experiences with depression and anxiety. When traditional approaches left her feeling disconnected from herself, she turned to alternative and nature-based modalities, exploring hypnotherapy, Reiki, herbalism, sound therapy, meditation, ritual practices, and subconscious transformation techniques. Along the way, she discovered not only new methods of healing, but a deeper understanding of herself and the innate capacity we all possess to heal and grow.
