Mindful Perceptions

Denise has over 40 years’ experience in healthcare and the NHS, having retired after 33 years of service as a midwife. She takes a holistic approach to life, healing and wellbeing, and is passionate about sharing this with her clients. She is registered with BAMBA (British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches) as a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Teacher and has been teaching mindfulness for over eight years. Denise is also a workplace mindfulness practitioner and has maintained a personal mindfulness practice for more than 20 years, bringing both lived experience and professional depth to her work. Denise is proud to have previously worked within an NHS Trust delivering mindfulness sessions Trust-wide. This work was well received and played a significant role in raising the profile of mindfulness across two maternity unit settings. Alongside her mindfulness work, Denise is an experienced healer, trained in both Reiki and Spiritual Healing. While she is no longer on the midwifery register and has stepped away from hypnobirthing and professional supervision, her practice continues to be grounded in compassion, presence and a deep understanding of wellbeing.
