Meet Denise

Denise Best is a Body Worker from Charlestown, NH and is the founder and primary practitioner at Best Body Works and Yoga LLC operating in both New Hampshire and Vermont. With 29 years as a Physical Therapist Assistant, Denise has extensive experience in Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Zero Balancing, Muscle Energy, Reiki and Soft Tissue Work. Most recently Denise has expanded her skills to include Yoga. Joining her knowledge of Bodywork with Yoga postures and breath, a bridge is created towards improved body awareness. This leads to an increase in strength, flexibility and balance while promoting healthier movement patterns. Her work experience includes 6 years working with children with special needs and their families, 13 years in a hospital setting providing inpatient and outpatient care and almost 10 years in a private practice clinic where her primary focus was manual therapy which became her passion.

Denise has helped improved the quality of life of not just those with short term needs such as injuries or strains but has seen significant improvement in pain management,mobility, and function for many suffering from chronic conditions such as Scleroderma, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Migraines, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and various forms of Cancer. She has also helped clients recover from surgery such as Total Joint Replacement.

In addition to helping her clients over the years manage their physical barriers, she was blessed over 10 years ago when she was found to be a match as an anonymous stem cell donor through the National Bone Marrow Registry. Denise immediately took the necessary steps to help save a life and the woman she donated to continues to thrive. Denise’s passion to help those in need is literally in her blood and who she is to the core.

Denise lives in Charlestown, NH where she has spent most of her life. She’s a wife, mother of 2 teenage daughter’s and 3 furry children including 2 dogs and 1 cat. She enjoys yoga, reading, spending time outdoors during the summer months taking long walks, gardening, and sunny vacations especially to Wells, Maine with her family. Following the birth of her oldest daughter 20 years ago, she began her battle with postpartum depression and anxiety. Over the years, she actively pursued ways to manage her anxiety but hadn’t found the missing piece until 1 year ago. In January of 2018 she began practicing Yoga and it changed her life! Through regular practice, she’s been able to find moments of quiet in her otherwise busy mind. Taking her new found passion to another level, she began her Yoga teacher training in September 2018 and will become a certified yoga teacher in May 2019.
