Live your dreams in sync with nature

Join the community for women who are ready to be the highest, most authentic version of themselves

Are you ready to step into your power and create the life of your dreams?

Hi, I’m Dessie. Since I can remember myself I knew I wanted to help others. This has taken many forms throughout the years - from being a sustainability activist, through a top-rated podcaster, and to a fair fashion designer. What all these experiences combined with my spiritual journey have taught me is that there is nothing more important, whatever you are up to, than looking deep into yourself to create your inner foundation.

This inner foundation leads to the conscious partnership of your dreams, healthy wholesome relationships with friends and family, a fulfilling work life or business that works with (your) nature and not against it. To you feeling seen, understood, and accepted just as you are. To expressing yourself fully in your relationships, and creatively. And most importantly, to happiness and joy of life from within that shines without. It lets you listen to your intuition and take the decisions that are the highest good for you, knowing that whatever is the highest good for you is the highest good for everyone.

Knowing we are all connected. One heart. On soul. And everything you do has a ripple effect. And all the work you do heals not simply yourself, but all who’ve come before you and will be after.

Welcome to D Golden Hour. I’m so glad you’re here.

The Moon Magic Retreat was truly a TREAT for the soul ✨ I was nervous at first because I’ve never been to a retreat before and I’ve also never traveled „alone“, but I am so glad that I went out of my comfort zone and took the opportunity. It was an experience that gave me a lot of new perspectives and the space to be creative. It felt so good to be able to be unapologetically authentic and to be valued for it. This was only possible, because Dessie created a safe space and valued each and everyone from the group. Everybody was generally so nice and open minded. We had some great yoga sessions, deep talks and connected to each other so fast. Overall there were so many special moments, that it would take forever to write every single one of theme down. For everyone who is considering a retreat in the future I would say do it and do it for yourself! It is really something special and I am sure that it wasn’t my last one.💜

I always felt calm and peaceful after my sessions with Dessie. It's not just a class, it's an entire practice that helps you feel more grounded, relaxed, and at peace. As a bonus, Dessie has a very calming voice! Dessie is very dedicated to what she is doing, so if you want to have a full yoga + meditation + mindfulness practice experience, you should definitely try Dessie's classes!

Dessie has great energy, one can tell that Yoga is her passion, which makes it a breeze to have the experience to work with her. She makes one feel relaxed and comfortable, reminds one to find presence and focus, alongside her joyful and spirited guidance. Her instructions come from the heart, not from a manual, which makes every session unique and alive.

I really love Dessie’s sessions because of her energy that is super calming and peaceful. The sessions are so well prepared and you can really see how much passion and work she puts into them. Each class has a theme and a focus area and this also makes it super special, because you can feel that mind - body connection even more. And I have seen progress in my practice. Plus, if you are lucky the session has a meditation at the end that she does so brilliantly. A lot of words for 10/10
Daria

The whole session was pure magic where I could totally relax and feel the moment, but still challenge myself with some great positions. Dessie is really looking after everyone and making sure that we are doing great. My yoga session was a highlight of the day and I felt really amazing during the session and afterwards. Just do it and you will not regret!
Shiva

Fantastic! For an absolute beginner who was scared to try yoga, this class offered a comforting atmosphere with a lot of care given to my level, and was perfectly balanced between a nice warmup, stretching, and some more difficult poses and finally a short meditation session. Absolutely love Dessie's classes!
Alessandro Michelotti

Dessie’s approach is demanding but also relaxing and energising at the same time. I like it because I have gained more control over weaker areas of my body. The different topics make me want to go back to class each week.
Camillo

It was my first yoga session and it couldn’t be a better start! Dessie showed us different exercises in such a warm and welcoming way making yogis of all different experience levels happy. Can’t wait to continue her classes!
Michelle

Dessie is a wonderful yoga teacher. The class was super relaxing and I loved her approach of showing the different poses very precise. I had some great learnings and got a little further with my yoga practice. Thank you!
Alina

Absolutely loved the experience every time. Dessie’s classes are carried out professionally and are effective in terms of what you would expect from a yoga class. What makes Dessie’s sessions special to me is the feeling during and after them - these are some of the most calming and balancing sessions I’ve experienced. Dessie makes you feel extremely comfortable while gently guiding you through the class, providing support where required but also freedom when desired. Also, having themed sessions (e.g. grounding) makes the experience special.
