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 quietly carried depression shaped by a history of childhood emotional neglect. 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 that led to what is often described as a “dark night of the soul.” What followed was an unexpected and life-changing shift in awareness that lifted her out of depression and into a deep and lasting sense of inner peace.

Her book, Lightworker, was written in the wake of that transformation. At its heart is a gentle process of healing through reconnection with the inner child - a return to the part of ourselves that remains whole beneath life’s experiences.

Denise does not consider herself a traditional spiritual teacher. She writes as an ordinary person who lived through something extraordinary and felt called to share it.

Her work is intended for those who feel invisible, overwhelmed, or quietly lost - particularly those who have spent years holding everything together while struggling within.
