About The Founder

Be ReZilient was founded in 2019 by Denise Williams during a chapter of her life that was full of loss and uncertainty. After self reflecting and a need for resiliency boast in the face of adversity she connected the power of creating a safe space for others to unleash emotions. Denise believes that until a person comes full circle with the barriers in their life they will not be able to move forward. Through this process of self discovery Be ReZilient was born.

No matter who she serves, Denise believes it is essential to open the door of communication through trust, empathy, and compassion—meeting people where they are and allowing them to be unapologetically themselves. She continues to grow into her life’s purpose by merging her gifts to inspire and open the doors for healing and self-discovery for others through the power of therapeutic art resilience coaching. The Be ReZilient experience starts with working through one’s emotions and creating a deep connection with ourselves and the feelings within. The results have been inspiring for her and those she serves. Denise is a  “relatable and transparent” coach and motivational speaker. She creates a safe space to provoke thought and change.
