About Heather Dempsey

Healing. Empowerment. Transformation.

I'm Heather Dempsey—a Therapeutic Coach, Hypnotherapist, and Founder of the Self-Care Center in Venice, Florida.

I specialize in emotional health, what some call “mindset,” and the psychology of communication—for life, business, and beyond.

I’m here to help highly sensitive people, empaths, deep feelers, and determined dreamers finally experience what it feels like to be calm, confident, connected, and thriving.

At the heart of it all, I believe self-care is healthcare—not a luxury, not a reward, but a necessary act of living fully.

🌿 My Mission

To normalize self-care.
To create safe spaces for transformation.
To help you step into a version of yourself you always sensed was possible—but weren’t sure how to reach.

🥰 What I Help You With

• Quiet the inner critic and perfectionism that keeps you stuck

• Strengthen your emotional resilience and deepen your self-trust

• Shift subconscious patterns so you can thrive personally and professionally

• Transform sensitivity into your greatest strength

• Create fulfilling relationships, successful businesses, and a peaceful inner world

Whether you're seeking personal healing, professional growth, or both—you don't have to do it alone.

✨ Who I Work Best With

My most transformational client relationships share a common thread:
They feel the connection even before we meet.

• Highly sensitive souls, empaths, introverts, and deep thinkers

• People who’ve been told they're "too much" or "too emotional"

• High-achievers who feel stuck chasing an invisible finish line

• Curious minds ready to explore and experiment without rigid agendas

• Those who have tried other healing paths—but know there’s still more

If you feel like you’ve always sensed you were meant for something deeper, something freer—you're right. And you’re not alone.

🌟 Why My Approach Is Different

Over the last 30+ years, I’ve collected over 120 certifications across trauma healing, subconscious reprogramming, energy work, therapeutic coaching, esthetics, and business strategy.

But what truly sets me apart isn’t the number of trainings I’ve completed—
It’s HOW I integrate them to create a transformational experience that fits you.

When we work together, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter approach.
You’re getting a customized blend of science, intuition, compassion, and proven techniques—designed to create lasting change in every layer of your life.

📈 For Entrepreneurs and Business Owners

I also support entrepreneurs, especially wellness and spa professionals, through Elite Spa Pros Academy.
After building multiple award-winning businesses since the '90s, I now help others:

• Avoid burnout and build businesses that fuel their lives

• Set strong boundaries and attract soul-aligned clients

• Grow revenue sustainably without sacrificing well-being

Because success isn't about hustling harder.
It's about alignment, clarity, and emotional mastery—and I teach you how to claim all three.

❤️ My Journey (And Why I Understand)

It wasn’t long before childhood confidence diminished.
For much of my life, being sensitive felt like a curse.

I faced childhood trauma, deep loneliness, emotional overwhelm, PTSD, infertility, divorce, and the devastating loss of my brother. There were moments I felt like experiencing security and happiness in life were lost causes.

But through years of intense personal work—through therapy, hypnotherapy, medication, EMDR, melt downs, crystal healing, trauma healing, energy medicine, mindset reprogramming, and spiritual exploration— DEEP INNER WORK…. I found my home within myself.

Sensitivity isn’t my weakness. It’s my superpower.
And helping others reclaim their light has become my life's work.

🐾 A Little More About Me

• I love fostering kittens and connecting with animals.

• Crystals, sound healing, and yoga are part of my daily life.

• I’m endlessly curious—always studying, always evolving.

• I adore traveling, finding cozy restaurants, and nurturing deep friendships.

My Big Why?

Heather's Story: From Sensitive & Struggling to Strong & Soulful

For as long as I can remember, I felt everything—loudly, deeply, and constantly. But I didn’t understand what that meant, and neither did anyone around me.

As a child, I’d get fevers or flu-like symptoms anytime we traveled or visited unfamiliar places. I thought it was car sickness. Looking back, I now see it was my nervous system trying to protect me from overstimulation.

My mom shares a story about a tragic accident involving a little girl my age and even though I didn’t know anything about it, she could tell I just knew what was happening - like I was there and experiencing impact from it.

During the holidays, while others celebrated, I was often on the couch with bronchitis or sinus infections—because that was the only way my body knew how to say “this is too much.”

No one told me that being a Highly Sensitive Person was a real thing.

I just knew I cried more than anyone else I knew—often daily—and that I couldn’t stomach violence in movies or bad news without getting sick to my stomach. Animals were my sanctuary. Nursing tiny kittens or baby squirrels back to health made me feel grounded and useful. Still does.

People often told me they felt like they had to walk on eggshells around me. I never meant to make anyone uncomfortable… I just didn’t know how to not feel everything.

I picked up on things others didn’t—emotions, shifts in energy, subtle changes in tone or expression. And yet, I constantly felt misunderstood. Misread. Alone.

And when I really needed support, no one knew how to show up for me. I tried to fix it myself. I tried everything—therapy, books, workshops, meditating, manifesting. Some of it helped.

Then life unraveled in a way I couldn’t outrun. I experienced consistent trauma from a young age that I seemed to handle with grace, but everything seemed to compound when my brother took his life. A few months later, my husband asked for a divorce. I dropped 30 pounds in two months and felt like I was disappearing. I wanted to disappear. I wished I could just go to sleep and not wake up. But I had to keep waking up - trying to move on and make the most out of what I had left.

Then came the fertility diagnosis, the realization I was in an emotionally abusive relationship and starting to pick up those tendencies myself, we were volatile.

I was diagnosed with PTSD. I was falling apart, and everyone could see it. Health issues were unmanageable, and I didn’t know what to do.

I tried everything I could get my hands on. Some modalities offered glimmers of hope. Others opened new doors I didn’t even know existed.

It seemed like a slow change, until one day I felt like a new version of myself emerged. Things began to shift—how I saw myself, how I showed up in the world, how resilient I was becoming. I started to feel like I had a greater purpose, and all of these experiences were going to be what helped me - help others.

Through my quest to find the thing that would help me heal - I never found it. But what I realized is there isn’t one magic fix - there is a recipe. A perfect combination of ingredients (modalities), and from time to time our tastes (needs) change.

The years of education was finally making sense - I was meant to learn all of these modalities so I could help create the perfect recipes for healing, for others!

It’s not just mindset work. Not just energy healing. Not just coaching. It’s all of it and it is magical.

It’s the blend of over 120 certifications (and counting), years of lived experience, and an unshakable belief that we are all already whole—but we’ve been taught to forget.

So if you’ve been told you’re too sensitive… if you’ve felt stuck, small, or invisible… if you’ve tried other things and they just didn’t work… If you want more out of like than what you’ve experienced so far…

You are exactly who I created this work for.

And when we work together, I won’t only see your pain—I’ll see your power. I’ll meet you where you are and guide you forward with the tools, compassion, and intuitive insight to help you feel like you again. Maybe introduce you to the version of you you never dreamed was possible. My intention is to help you see your power, beauty, and value.

Because you’re not broken, unlovable, unworthy, or any of the things your negative inner voices try to tell you. You are amazing, and it’s never too late to explore the depths to find the magic inside of you.

You deserve to live a deeply connected, joyful, and meaningful life—and I’d be honored to help you get there.
