Dena Lester is a Melbourne-based visual artist and the founder of The Melbourne Studio of Art, a thriving fine arts school for both adults and children. Her artistic journey led her on a profound exploration of the connection between personal suffering, cultural wounds, and creative expression. This quest for deeper understanding led her to explore Jungian and Gestalt therapy, ultimately discovering the transformative power of Shadow Work.

In 2019, Dena qualified as both a Shadow Work Coach and Group Facilitator. Recognizing the profound impact of Shadow Work, she is dedicated to building a vibrant Shadow Work community in Australia. She is committed to sharing the wisdom she has gained through programs such as the Shadow Work Weekend, the Shadow Work training programs, and the Women in Power Initiation Weekend.

While Dena has limited availability for one-on-one coaching (both in-person in Melbourne and via Zoom), she is happy to assist you in finding a qualified coach who best suits your needs.
