Licensed THERAPIST TURNED entrepreneur, SPEAKER, Yoga educator & COACH!

Hi, I’m Denise Alba — someone who’s been there. Fatigued from the corporate pace. Quietly anxious. Struggling to figure out if the next chapter would be building something from scratch... or simply surviving one more day.

My Story

Born and raised in sunny San Diego by immigrant parents from Mexico, I learned early about resilience — but also saw up close what happens when we ignore what’s inside. After years of pushing through anxiety, burnout, and trying to “do the right thing,” I found my way back through yoga, psychotherapy, and soul-searching.

I realized that healing, meaning, and purpose aren’t luxuries. They’re essential. So I left my corporate hospital job and opened BRAVE Wellness Studio, the first mental health on a studio in San Diego. Now, I want to help you step into your own BRAVERY!

What I Do

Leveraging my own journey + formal training, I help women who feel stuck or burned out shift into lives and businesses that feel aligned. I serve them through:

• Therapy sessions grounded in a mind-body approach, helping you process emotional blocks, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover your innate resilience

• Worldwide Speaking engagements that stir the heart and spark change

• Virtual & In- Person Courses & programs blending yoga, nervous-system work, mindset tools

• Worldwide Coaching (life & business) to help make the transition in a way that honors your wellness

• International retreats that create space for deep healing, clarity, and connection — all in inspiring, soul-nourishing destinations around the world.

• Ketamine Assisted Therapy For those navigating persistent depression, anxiety, or burnout.
