As the economy changed, L. Denise changed with it.
Due to medical illnesses, L. Denise began to see a naturopath physician in 2003 and her life began to change to become healthy from the inside out. That which could be considered a devastion turned into an opportunity. Her interest grew and she kept her finger on the pulse and began researching and studying. In the wake of the nation’s environmental awareness, she knew there was something she could do to give back to her community, leave a legacy, and help train others to help her with the mission at hand. After many classes, courses, and certifications, L. Denise is a certified green consultant and sustainability officer with experience in indoor air quality, mold issues, and ”real” green cleaning products for just about anything.

The mission for the Professional Green Network is to be an affordable source to help you discover, live, and be green in your home and business. It was created to educate, inform, support, and train those who want to learn about green, become more eco-friendly, and experience various green opportunities that can serve you and your audience economically and with a commitment that respect the environment.
Her experience spans beyond telling you to change light bulbs, however, we are focused on the general consumer, small and medium business…the underserved community as a whole. We look to care about the overlooked audience that may not understand carbon credits or the ecological and environment affects of soil conservation and water preservation. We want to have everyone up to speed, however, we are focusing on making sure that our audience understands topics that are important to them, such as “how do I get a green tax break?” or “what does going green mean to me and what can I do to be sustainable?”
Whether it be a green makeover to coaching to an ebook or other natural and environmentally-friendly product, L. Denise focus is to teach people how to be healthy in life.
