When Jan Denise experienced the freedom and joy of being exactly who she was, she wanted to share them. She wanted to help others realize that the greatness they had been trying to conjure up was there, buried under the stuff (education, status, money) commonly used to band-aid self-esteem. Her efforts gave birth to her weekly newspaper column “Naked Relationships,” which is represented by Creators Syndicate and running in newspapers all over the country.

Denise says that nothing has more impact on life than relationship, and there is nothing she would rather write about. All relationships reflect the relationship with self. When we know our essence and align with it, we know the fullness of love. We know oneness with life and love, and we can, then, know oneness with a partner.

She is the author of Naked Relationships (and three other gift books) published by Hampton Roads. She conducts workshops and retreats all over the country, speaks professionally for business, charity and wellness events, and has accepted an invitation to again serve on the faculty of the Omega Institute. While home and traveling, she coaches individuals and couples. And, she frequently accepts invitations for talk radio. She is delighted to offer readers—as well as listeners—a compass as they find their own way to nakedness and love.

Denise has lived with her heart and mind wide open. She has been a good student; and Life has been an incredible teacher. She shares from a heart that has been there and supports her message with the best of the leading experts from academia (many of whom endorse her work). And, she does it with the zeal and compassion of one who is still learning.

Denise lives in Ormond by the Sea, Florida, where she is in love with life and her soul mate, and grateful for the chance to inspire others to know the best of who they are—the best of life and love.
