Denise was one of the owners of Kirkland Healing Arts & was a gifted massage practitioner where she brought comfort & relief to many through her healing touch. In her free time, she enjoyed singing, sewing, volunteering, & hiking with her dogs – all of which allowed her to express her creativity & a love for nature.
