About the Author

Denise Le Gallais is a writer, artist, and athlete whose work is rooted in lived experience.

For much of her life, she lived with depression stemming from childhood emotional neglect (CEN). She built a full life - including marriage, motherhood, and career - while navigating an underlying sense of sadness that remained largely unseen.

In her mid-fifties, following a series of personal losses, Denise experienced a profound breaking point, also known as the Dark Night of the Soul. What followed was an unexpected, but life-saving, 3-day spiritual crisis and massive shift in consciousness that lifted her out of depression into deep and lasting inner peace.

Lightworker was written in the wake of this transformation.

Denise's story can be seen as an invitation to step out of autopilot, question familiar patterns, and consider a different way of living. At its heart, Lightworker carries a message of hope, Love, and the possibility of lasting inner peace. Whatever your circumstances, change is possible, even when you can't yet see a way forward. It's never too late to begin.

Denise writes as an ordinary person who lived through something extraordinary and felt called to share it. She published Lightworker under her maiden name but is known professionally as Denise Jefferys.
