About Denise Lang - Inclusive Travel Advisor & Agency Founder
Hi, I’m Denise - Encourager of Joy, Growth & Magic
Wausau, Wisconsin & the hometown I love.
I’m a wife, mom of two adult kids, and proud companion to two canine besties. A seeker of everyday magic and an ISTJ / Enneagram 1w2, planning isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll find me curled up with a good book in the backyard, humming to movie soundtracks, or puttering in my garden. Not only is my family an LGBTQ+ fam, I proudly support LGBTQIA+ travelers. Purple & green are my go-to colors, and I can’t resist anything rhino, dragon, or sea-life related. Pizza almost daily? Yes, please, and hot cocoa wins over coffee every time. I’m a geek for Star Wars, Disney, and Lord of the Rings, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Beyond the magic and the laughs, I'm the founder of Reach for the Magic Destinations; an agency grounded in connection, inclusivity, and intentional travel. In addition to leading our team of incredible advisors, I also create support and education programs for fellow agency owners and advisors through my other business, Develop the Magic. While my focus is on empowering others in the industry, I still accept a limited number of vacation clients each season, especially those seeking a thoughtful, heart-centered planning experience. Because I believe travel is a powerful way to reconnect with what, and who, matters most.
I lead with the same values I built this agency on: connection, inclusivity, joy, and intentional care - because travel should feel like it was made for you. Want to learn more about the values that guide the agency? Read Our Story Here
