Hello, I'm Denise.
Founder of Health & Mind Co. Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, Life Coach and former NHS Registered Nurse.
I help women feel comfortable in who they are, regardless of what their life story has been.
MY STORY I started my nurse training at 29. I qualified in 2013 and went straight into haematology nursing, working with acutely unwell patients, administering cytotoxic treatments and stem cells.
I became a ward sister.
In 2019 I moved into haematology research as a Senior Research Nurse, funded by Cure Leukaemia. I was the first person in that post.
​
But long before that, early in my nursing career, I went through a really difficult relationship that left me very anxious and with very little self worth.
I sought support. I had hypnotherapy.
​
And it changed everything.
​
I immediately wanted to learn it. So alongside nursing I trained in hypnotherapy, NLP and mindfulness. I set up my practice. I started doing both.
​
Last year I left the NHS to run Health & Mind Co full time. Best decision I've ever made.
​
WHAT I BELIEVE I don't do fluffy. I don't do toxic positivity.
​
What I do believe is that the way we show up is just a part of us asking to be understood.
​
That acknowledgement is always the first step.
​
I work with women to accept themselves, enjoy their lives and take action. Not to become a new person. To return to who they always were.
​
ABOUT ME PERSONALLY I'm 45, I live in Poulton-le-Fylde with my husband, my daughter (I also have an older son and a step son), two cats and a dog. I love spending time with my mum, my friends and my family.
​
I'm fiery. Nurturing. Protective. Raw and real. I genuinely care about people.
​
QUALIFICATIONS ICF accredited. I hold qualifications in: Clinical Hypnotherapy. NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Trauma informed Life Coaching. Mindfulness. Registered General Nurse (RGN) General Hypnotherapy Register member. Mental Health First Aid.
​
​
One thing I know more than most - self-sabotage is sneaky.
It doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it's just a quiet voice that talks you out of the thing you actually want.
An old story.
A familiar pattern.
Fear dressed up as logic.
I created the Self-Sabotage Saboteur™ because I've seen it in every client I've ever worked with.
And I've felt it myself.
There are different ways it shows up. Knowing yours is the first step.
​
I always say, the more we know about ourselves the better.
