About us

My name is Denise Coughlan owner of Resolute Wellness. From the age of 8 I competed & later coached in Sports Acrobatics Gymnastics, with a highlight representing Ireland on the National Squad.
From secondary school I went on to complete 2 years Sports & Leisure Management in Colaiste Ide & went straight into working as a gym instructor, exercise class instructor & swim teacher for the years to follow.
In 2003 this was the big changing point in my career when I was introduced to Pilates for the first time & certified with the National Training Centre in Pilates Matwork. Pilates changed my way of teaching any form of exercise & changed my way of viewing people moving.
The years following, the idea to open my own business was starting to grow stronger. In 2008 I completed a Start Your Own Business Course with the Enterprise Board & that August I received my keys for my first studio in the Bawnogue Enterprise Centre. From 2008 up to 2024 I had run 3 successful studio premises and decided in 2024 to go back to renting spaces in the local community venues.
2008 was also the year I studied in Leeds Metropolitan University & qualified as a BACPR Phase IV Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Instructor spending time observing Phase III patients in Tallaght & St. James Hospital. 
Over the years I continued training with upskilling courses like various Pilates Workshops (too many to name)!
I have been awarded Best Pilates Class by the Irish Fitness Industry Awards, Business of the Year by the Southside People Newspaper Awards, Bronze Award in the Nutraminio Health & Fitness Awards as well as nominations in the South Dublin Chambers Awards.
Everyday I continue to learn & I apply this to how I teach. There is not one particular course I use when teaching pilates or exercise - I use every bit of knowledge & experience I have as everyone I meet is completely different to the next person & each story is different. Over the years I have learnt to observe people more & not to just teach people, when you see how people move you can do amazing things & achieve amazing results.
I believe that exercise should be inclusive to EveryBody & have worked with Spinal Injuries Ireland service users providing videos & in person classes. I did Inclusive training with CARA to learn more about how to include people who are visually impaired & other conditions into classes. I hope when you attend classes that you feel everyone is welcome no matter your age, race, skin colour, gender, sexuality, religion or body size.
I have worked with many corporate clients including working with the under 16s Irish Basketball Team, Spinal Injuries Ireland, DDLETB, Allianz, Monster Energy and local schools. As well as a few stints on TV and in newspapers/ magazines.
2023 opened up an new journey through Reiki Energy Healing, Rahanni Celestial Healing, Angel Card Readings and most recently Sound Healing.
The journey continues!
