Executive & Wellness Coaching

Denise Joseph, J.D.

As a world community, we are fortunate to be living a collective cultural shift towards personal and interpersonal authenticity, consciousness, and growth not borne from exploitation.

We are living in a unique and notable era when more and more people are becoming sensitive to the concept and the possibility of truly transformational psychosocial change.

At this very moment, there are billions of individuals desiring transformation in themselves and in their lives. They collectively experience a persistent, nagging suspicion that living day-to-day, with a sense of contentment, purpose and peace, is not just an aspirational ideal, but an attainable reality that is entirely possible for them, if not readily available to them.

By deciding to visit Open Sea Institute, you might count yourself as one such individual. Perhaps you might ask yourself if you’ve reached a precipice— a point in your life where you know you need to make a change? Perhaps, you’re realizing that living your life without an appreciable feeling of balance and fulfillment is no longer something you’re willing to do?

In this thoroughly globalized world with its relaxing borders, transfers of capital, and radical shifts in cultural norms, all now indissolubly linked to Artificial Intelligence, prime movers require partnership with a team of providers equipped with the premium interdisciplinary achievement, elite mental acuity, and genuinely efficacious methodology OSI delivers to those who seek for better.

Our new world requires knowledge of both the realities of traditional difference and of increasing interconnectedness. As we continue to experience change in climate, whatever the cause, we are forced to grant a oneness of human race and consider a transnational and transplanetary brand of civic duty.

At Open Sea Institute, Denise seeks to engineer a reality that respects and loves the human individual as the bedrock of civilization. The work she has generated is primarily foundational due to her realization that investment in self is not only investment in the individual, family or community, but investment in nation, in state, in economy and GDP, and in our collective future. She knows that societies will truly flourish when mental health is adequately prioritized and incentivized in populations.

OSI was formed to create a societal shift towards positive, sustainable, and ethical growth through the active exploration and celebration of the human person, whose potential has, to date, gone undervalued and underutilized. When the costs to society of war, suicide, addiction, overweight, depression, anxiety, homelessness, divorce, lack of family planning, poor parenting, molestation and abuse are calculated, the losses are staggering. The costs of wasted human potential are staggering. No item aforementioned cannot be served by the impactful, institutionalized, systemized mental interposition of Open Sea Institute.

At OSI, Denise is keenly aware that her focus is interdisciplinary and heavy on awareness and public health. Denise has built OSI on her bedrock belief that the individual and collective minds both inhabit and create worlds.

At OSI, Denise Joseph affords executive clients, families, and organizations the opportunity for authentication and empowerment. Denise works with each client on a one-to-one basis to relieve discomfort, dissatisfaction or stress and induce a sustained sense of freedom and increased aptitude for achievement. Neuroscientific research confirms that our brains are equipped for growth, edification and healing. OSI-type coaching predisposes the human brain to success.

Those who seek a consistency of relief and the transformation that will inevitably ensue arrive at OSI-type coaching knowing that Denise offers the intellectual and emotional capacity to shepherd and the will to love and forgive her fellow travelers as herself. Her passion for living is contagious.

At Open Sea Institute, Denise practices with a mastery of the canon that preceded her in addition to the OSI-type technology of her own invention which utilizes the best, expels the worst, and reimagines and executes the science and art of mentality as it has never before been conceptualized.

A natural healer and ardent believer in the ancient Ayurvedic maxim, “With proper diet, medicine is of no need,” Denise pursued specialization in Plant Pharmacology at Cornell University, where she utilized both her legal expertise and decades long foundations in the health sciences to examine the history of legal issues surrounding ethnobotany, sustainable ethnobotanical research, plant chemistry, efficacy and toxicity. At OSI, Denise uses her knowledge of the interplay of nutrition, dietary supplements, herbal extracts, functional medicine, psychedelic therapies and traditions of folk and indigenous medicine across the globe.

Denise’s formal specialization in Plant Pharmacology and folk cultural preservation inspired and informed the establishment of Open Sea Lodge at Nantahala Water Mountain, an OSI Sanctuary Site in the Precambrian mountains of the Nantahala National Rain Forest on the American Blue Ridge. It is among North America’s most biodiverse and protected land.
