This is your reset.
For people who’ve tried the conventional approaches and wonder if the solution is somewhere deeper.
Maybe you're dealing with a health issue that nothing has fully fixed. Maybe there's a goal, in your work, your life, or something that deeply matters to you, that keeps feeling out of reach.
Pouring time and energy into it hasn't moved things forward.
The answer isn't trying harder, it's about coming back into alignment with yourself in a way that everything else can finally fall into place.
I've lived this shift myself and can help you experience the same. My clients describe it like having a reset.
I've spent 25 years developing an approach that works at this level. In my experience, when you're working with the whole person, change doesn't have to be a struggle.
I offer:
Integrative Coaching Intensives: 8 sessions
Continuing Transformation: ongoing support for clients who have completed an intensive
Clinical Hypnotherapy: targeted sessions for specific patterns (3 to 5 sessions)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training, one-on-one, 8 sessions
Workshops on various topics, updated regularly
My background:
Master of Education in Transformative Learning Certified Integrative Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Instructor Author of Mindfulness Meditations for Stress (100+ five-star reviews) Clinical Instructor, UC Davis School of Medicine
Integrative Coaching
I work with growth-oriented people who are in some way out of alignment with living the life they want, be it specific goals, values, healthy routines, meaningful relationships, or something else. What's missing is rarely effort; it's perspective, and the kind of inner alignment that supports everything else falling into place.
My approach works at the level beneath the surface — where subconscious blocks, unmet values, unprocessed patterns, and sometimes even trauma live. All of it informed by 25 years of mindfulness teaching and integrated into a protocol designed around you, not a script.
The Format:
This is a two month personalized process supporting accountability and accelerated subconscious re-patterning.
Between sessions, personalized assignments bring the work into your daily life and inform where we go next, keeping things relevant to you and not stuck in the insight or idea stage.
You get to experience your life changing in real time so you're building genuine confidence and self-trust.

Cost: The 8-session intensive is $2000.
If this sounds like what you've been looking for, schedule a consultation call and we can talk about your goals.
Break free from patterns that haven't responded to other approaches.
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention, mindful awareness, and inner absorption that supports changing conditioned behaviors and ways of thinking. This isn't mind control or entertainment hypnosis. It's a clinical intervention used for centuries that can help you release even longstanding patterns naturally.
The Process
We typically work together for 3 to 5 sessions, though the exact number depends on what you're addressing and how your nervous system responds. After an initial consultation, I create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Sessions are available in person in Davis and online.
Cost: $750 to $1,250 for 3 to 5 sessions.
The consultation call is an opportunity to determine if hypnotherapy is the right fit for what you're experiencing.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Make your own mind a friend and reclaim your life from the tyranny of stress.
This is the flagship Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn over 45 years ago — the gold standard of mindfulness training, evidence-based and built to last.
Mindfulness isn't about living in a constant state of Zen or losing your edge. It's a practical way to honor your needs and goals while developing new ways of responding to stress. As Kabat-Zinn says, it's about fully living all your moments, not waiting for some ideal moment to come along.
Format: Eight personalized online sessions, one-on-one. Modern, interactive, and uniquely yours. No two series are the same, which is one of the reasons I love leading them.
Cost: $2,000 for the complete 8-session series, including 75-minute weekly sessions, materials, and recordings.
MBSR has transformed lives worldwide, but it's important to make sure it's a good fit for you. That's why the first step is always an intro call. I'm happy to talk whenever you're ready.

Client Testimonials

Fear of Flying
After just two zoom sessions with Denise, my daughter was able comfortably to fly round trip Sacramento to Los Angles. She said the hypnotherapy felt more effective than a couple of years of talk therapy and she does not feel like the fear will come back. Denise provides a priceless service that I believe many could benefit from.
-
Alcohol Cravings
Fabulous! Not a drink, not a craving. It’s amazing to me. I’ve gone a couple of days without alcohol, but it’s always been a struggle.
-
Food Obsessions
I am not having any cravings nor am I obsessing about food!
-
Post-Surgical Pain Relief
I saw her to address post-surgical pain related to bladder cancer. A few days after our first session I noticed that I hadn't even realized that I was feeling better. The pain had been very intense and distracting. After one session it was gone! I was so used to having discomfort every day, but in its absence I was able to focus on other things, and was so much happier in general. I've had several more sessions since, and each time is a little different, but always magical and mindblowing.
-
Postpartum Depression
I have had profound relief since seeing Denise. I struggle with postpartum depression in all of my pregnancies. My family and I have tried everything to remedy my mental health during those seasons of life but there was a deeper type of healing that needed to happen to solve the problem that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve without the help of Denise.

White Coat Syndrome
I have terrible white coat syndrome. At home my blood pressure is normal but when I go to a doctor I can send it through the roof. I also get anxious just thinking about the doctor. I decided this year to work on myself and a functional doctor recommended Denise Dempsy. Working with Denise has changed my life. This last Doctors visit I was able calm myself down and to bring my blood pressure down. Denise is absolutely amazing and she takes the time and care to get to know you individually. She also has amazing follow up. I highly recommend Denise.

My Life is Changed
First, I will say, Denise is a highly skilled, intuitive, kind, and talented hypnotherapist.
I just finished my third session with Denise and once again, my life is changed. Each session, I've targeted a different issue and I've seen incredible transformation as a result of every one.
Thank you, Denise for your support, your loving heart and for saying yes to this path that is creating so much healing.

The Lingering Effects of PTSD
I first felt a draw toward Denise and her hypnotherapy work based on a friend recounting her visit. One of the things that hypnotherapy can help with is that giant, perhaps misplaced emotional response/PTSD. Not feeling weighted by fear anymore is liberating for myself and others around me who have also notice my shift.
Thank you Denise. My hope for you is a thriving practice to share this awesome art-form that transforms and can help so many.
