Welcome! I’m Denise Dempsey, a certified hypnotherapist, smoking cessation specialist, and certified teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with over 25 years of experience. My journey has been driven by a passion for helping individuals unlock their true potential, overcome challenges, and build resilience.

I blend evidence-based hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques tailored to each person’s needs. My approach is grounded in compassion and informed by my personal experiences with chronic illness and holistic wellness. Whether you’re here to explore hypnotherapy, mindfulness training, or both, I’m honored to support you in finding balance, vitality, and empowerment.

My extensive certifications encompass various hypnotherapy modalities, including training from:

~ The Ali Campbell Hypnotherapy Academy
~ The North American Academy of Hypnotherapy
~ The Dave Elman Hypnosis Institute
~ The UMASS Center for Mindfulness

Additionally, I hold a Master’s in Education from Concordia University, Portland, and a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from UC Davis. My years of service with the VA of Northern California, where I supported stroke survivors, have profoundly enriched my practice and deepened my understanding of the healing journey. I am also the author of Mindfulness Meditations for Stress, One Hundred Ways to Ease Tension and Find Peace.
