Known as the “fast-talkin’ Texan,”—an interesting and delightful oxymoron—Denise A. Liotta-Dennis is founder and president of Dragon-Gate Feng Shui (DGFS), LLC an international consulting and development firm, specializing in authentic Feng Shui site selection, planning, design, audits, and assessments for commercial and residential real estate and construction projects.

Born to a Houston entrepreneurial family, and with a quarter century of business ownership experience, Denise is among a rare breed of Feng Shui consultants who not only resonates with all things spiritual, but also talks the language and walks in the shoes of business people.

Ms. Liotta-Dennis worked recently as director of operations, and partner, in a quality systems consultancy to international energy businesses, including the application of ISO 9000 certifications for large oil and gas projects. She also started and ran her own upscale boutique and day spa venture for more than 12 years.

Growing up in the shadow of her father's construction and real estate development companies, Denise discovered early in life an inborn love of business lifestyles and entrepreneurs. Her work with Feng Shui is also an outgrowth of a natural affinity towards interior design. In fact, Denise has over 30 years experience working in interior design, including residential and commercial projects.

Denise’s comprehensive study of Feng Shui goes back over ten years, including several noted Feng Shui masters, such as Grand Masters Yap Cheng Hai and Joseph Yu. Her expertise and training with both the “western” Feng Shui—common in the United States—and traditional, authentic Feng Shui, allows clients to benefit from her understanding of both philosophies, while remaining true to authentic, classical practices.

A gifted educator and speaker on Feng Shui and business topics, Denise offers both high energy and rich content, with a rapid-fire delivery that keeps audiences spell bound and wide-eyed at the edge of their seats. Peppering her talks with a quaint southwestern humor, Denise’s stories are couched in the real life foibles of both entrepreneurs, and those seeking a spiritual path. She shares the spiritual side of life with a practical commercial bent not found among the more esoteric practitioners common to Feng Shui.

With her dual affinity for both the spiritual and commercial, Denise is perhaps best equipped among consultants to help “bridge the gap” between our mystical and materialistic worlds, which often conflict, if not brought together in a productive and coordinated fashion. In fact, the company name: “Dragon-Gate” refers to the mythical passageway through which a novice becomes a master. In much the same way, her work is designed to help individual, real estate, and construction projects travel beyond worldly success and prosperity to the enlightened levels of harmony with the spiritual world.

Currently, she is part of the 400 year-old Wu Ching Feng Shui Mastery lineage of Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai, of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, who is one of only five Grand Masters of Classical Feng Shui in the world. Denise has followed Master Yap to such exciting venues as South Africa, Germany, and Malaysia. As an avid traveler, Denise continues to enjoy extensive, cross-cultural business travel throughout the world, particularly Europe, South America, and the Pacific Rim.

Ms. Liotta-Dennis holds a “Diploma in Feng Shui Mastery” from the Yap Cheng Hai Feng Shui Center of Excellence® (YCHFCE), where she is also a certified professional trainer and instructor, a Fellow Member, and served as a moderator of the online Xuan Kong Senate.
