Heather Dempsey Esti since the '90s, Therapeutic Coach, Founder of Elite Spa Pros Academy, Kitty Fostering, Cat Lady

I'm Heather Dempsey - A business coach specializing in emotional health, mindset and the psychology of business. I help introverts, HSP, or those who struggle with anxiety show up powerfully and comfortably in their service based business by creating radical emotional and mindset transformations that allow them to attract and retain clients through their marketing and client experiences. I’m also a foodie, cat-lover, personal development, and self-care enthusiast. I help small business owners who have made some money in their business but not to the level they'd like. I help them to eliminate doubt, confusion, and overwhelm when running their service based business so they can experience emotional clarity, lasting confidence, and a feeling of being unstoppable so they can handle any up-level that comes their way. From our work, they feel more aligned and in touch with themselves, their business and they know what to do! And the benefits of our work continue far beyond our time together. You’ll enjoy enhanced relationships and improved communication skills, more composed responses, and fulfillment in the life YOU are creating, not the life that WAS happening TO you. You’ll feel less reactive, more understanding, patient, and compassionate - toward yourself and others. Welcome, I'm Heather Dempsey

A therapeutic coach and hypnotherapist specializing in emotional health, what some call “mindset”, and the psychology of communication (for life or business)

And founder of Self-Care Center (the healing house) on Venice Island in Florida - Because I love to be hands-on in the areas that I coach and consult in PLUS, it is my mission to normalize self-care as a necessity, deserved by all - not a judged indulgence. We have your self-care covered because we know that self-care IS healthcare. Some people call what I do mindset or coaching, others may think it’s business strategy and consulting and I want to clear up any confusion. With the level of experience, intuition, and training, our work together goes MUCH deeper than any of those things. The work we do together is magic and it transforms your life (and business) in a way that simple mindset work, coaching, or consulting just isn't capable of doing.

Your attachment style isn’t just showing up in your relationships—it might be showing up in your business, too.

Ever find yourself overthinking client interactions, hesitating to raise your prices, or avoiding marketing because it feels too vulnerable or “too much”?
That’s not a business problem. That’s often a nervous system pattern rooted in attachment.

Your attachment style is formed from past experiences—especially early ones—and it shapes how safe or unsafe it feels to be seen, ask for what you want, or handle rejection.
It doesn’t mean you’re broken or “not cut out for this.” It means your inner wiring just needs a little updating.

💭 Anxious attachment? You might:

Worry constantly if clients are happy with you

Feel devastated by a no-show or negative review

Struggle to set boundaries or say no to discount requests

💭 Avoidant attachment? You might:

Keep your audience at arm’s length

Procrastinate on marketing because it feels “too much”

Avoid following up with clients because it feels intrusive

💭 Fearful avoidant (disorganized)? You might bounce between both extremes—wanting connection and visibility, but fearing rejection or failure the moment you put yourself out there.

Here’s the truth:
Your attachment style is not your identity.
It’s just a learned response. And that means it can shift.

With the right support, awareness, and tools, you can rewire how you show up in business—and feel more confident, more secure, and more aligned.

✨ Curious but not sure what your attachment style is?

Here’s a quick guide:

Secure – You feel safe being seen, heard, and supported

Anxious – You crave connection but fear being judged or left

Avoidant – You prefer independence and may resist outreach or vulnerability

Fearful Avoidant – You desire success and fear what it might cost you

Which one sounds familiar?
You don’t have to share publicly, but if this hits home, feel free to DM me. I’d love to chat and help you connect the dots.

✨ Want more rebookings, referrals, and retail sales—without feeling salesy?

It might not be your service.
It might not be your pricing.
It might be… your intake form.

Most estheticians use their consultation to check for allergies and pick the right products.

But what if I told you that those first few minutes are actually the most powerful sales moment of the entire appointment?

That’s where trust is built.
Where loyalty begins.
Where your future income is quietly decided.

Inside my mini-training BOOKED FOR A LIFETIME: Secrets of the Intake, I’ll show you how to use your intake form and consultation to:

💬 Build immediate rapport and connection
💸 Increase retail sales (without awkward pitches)
📅 Boost rebooking rates
🌟 Get more reviews and referrals
💖 Turn one-time clients into lifetime clients

And it takes less than an hour to learn.

You even get my exact intake form to copy and paste into your business.

If you’re ready to turn your consultation into your most effective sales and retention tool…

The constant hustle vibe of posting on social media doesn't feel good for me. That's why I don't do much here OR for my brick-and-mortar Self-Care Center. But this made me smile...

If you don't want to rely on Socials to grow your business, maybe we should talk - because I have dozens of other ways to grow - less stress AND better results 🥰

Struggling to sell retail? Or does it feel so awkward that you don't try at all?

I've been hearing a lot of estheticians who are looking for passive income and more income in general, so I put together a flash training - 3 Ways To Sell - only 11 minutes 😃

And it's available for you now! I'll post the link in the comments.

Here's what some of the 1st reviews said about it:

I've been seeing a lot of posts where Estis are saying they are slow, wondering if others are and what kind of promo they could run to boost sales.

While a promo could increase sales it also has the potential to devalue your work and your normal pricing.

Plus, the risk is that it might not bring in much new business, or the business it does bring might not be top-quality long-term clients (unless you have impeccable client retention)

I'd like to offer two other suggestions:

A long-game way to use the downtime is to Network. Invite local business owners who have influence or are connected to your ideal clients to experience a service with you. That one free service could end up equalling THOUSANDS in referrals.

Or if you like to get social - host a "let's support each other event" for local businesses. Invite businesses to come and share what kind of support they could use and how they can support others. You're like a business bestie a matchmaker 🥰

Now that you have them focused on supporting each other, give them a tour of your space and tell them how they can support you.

There are so many other creative ways to boost sales short AND long term.

Are you ready for Emotional Freedom? To Live Without Limitations by releasing all that holds you back?

It is nice to say I could help just about anyone. And while that may be true the reality is there is an unexplained dynamic between certain people that just make it extra special working together and there is a trend - the individuals who have had the most significant transformations have been and continue to be the overly self critical type, suffering from anxiety, lacking in confidence, clarity and direction - so much so they have felt completely lost or empty. Most of these individuals have experienced trauma in their life and have never really had a safe space to share ALL of their thoughts and feelings without the fear of being judged or critisized. Examples of trauma could be abandonment, failure in business and or relationships (they usually show up together), the victim of infidelity, sexual abuse and one that many do not consider a trauma - lack of self worth, which blurs boundaries and allows one to live in a way that does not feel comfortable or respectful.

The environment that is created during our sessions is so open, transparent and supportive it makes it easy to open up and feel more comfortable to share without any fear of being judged. My most transformational clients are intellectual curious, open minded and humble. They are comfortable with being challenged (with love and support) and they are willing to try things that may, at first, feel silly because ultimately, they have a desire to experience life differently than they have been and they are ready to do what it takes to get there.

Who am I ?

I am so grateful to have been able to create a career indulging in my passions! The best part is that by sharing them, I am helping others find what makes them feel more complete, fulfilled and excited about life!
