Much gratitude to the clients I have worked with, those beautiful Souls who have graced my life with their presence and trusted me to share God's gift with them. Many thanks!
“You have a real gift! Working with you really did cure me. Over the past 15 years I had tried many different modalities of healing (talk therapy, CBT, 12 step work, spiritual practices such as meditation and attending church) in order to recover from an extremely abusive childhood. Within about 10 sessions of working with you, it was as though the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. After 20 sessions and during the course of the 2 years we worked together extensively, my life and communication skills completely transformed. I continue to come in occasionally for spiritual tune-ups and to process an occasional difficult situation. I have referred a handful of friends and acquaintances to you over the last five years, and they've all been helped by, and 'blown away' by, the on-target nature of your work. Interestingly, some of the people whom I've referred to you have needed physical healing, others have needed emotional or spiritual work, and others needed to process family trauma or grief about losing beloved animals. You have helped us with all of these things. It's pretty amazing and I cannot thank you enough!" - L.B., San Francisco.
"Having struggled with alcoholism my whole life, it was Denise who I turned to when I most recently fell into another cycle of active alcohol addiction. Denise's compassion, grace, and powerful healing ability has helped tremendously on my road to recovery. The light of her awareness helps me see where I have been stuck in subconscious and unconscious patterns of suffering and limitation. The nonjudgmental, loving space Denise holds has been a platform for me to rebuild my life and find joy, peace and equanimity once again. I am tremendously grateful -- 3 years sober today!"

"Thank you again, Denise! I always love and appreciate your sessions. I came away feeling so refreshed, grounded, and spacious. So many blessings to you." - D.B.P., San Francisco
"Working with you has changed my life...I went from doing a job that I hated to doing what I have always wanted to do since I was 5...I went from dating men that did not love me to finding the love of my life...I went from self doubt to self trust...you and your work has transformed my life!!" S.C., San Rafael, CA
"Denise, thank you for your beauty, grace and love - and for the space you hold for others to remember theirs. When I reflect to thank you for your work, I pause and there are simply no words. There are no words that arise to convey the ever-deepening unfolding that I experience within myself and in my life as a result of your individual and group sessions.
When I reflect to thank you, I experience what is beyond words - the presence of deep, calm-abiding love and gratitude – and I am humbled in such grace. I am more than I ever imagined. Denise, thank you." - J.C., San Francisco
"I began the Intuitive Birthing program with Denise when I was only 5 weeks pregnant. Thus began a journey in which we explored together all of the hopes, fears, expectations, and unknowns that arose during the process of bringing a life into this world. I was hoping to clear all of the energies and patterns that would hinder the birthing process, and to create an opening for this new little being to be born without a lot of (or at least less of) the baggage that can affect a smooth transition into this life. Denise continuously helped me to process, to clear, and to come into present time with each stage of my pregnancy and birth. During my pregnancy, I kept hearing that many women have so much focus on their upcoming labor, that they are completely unprepared for the transition into new parenthood. This is where I believe that Denise's work helped me the most. I processed the huge transformation into motherhood with Denise throughout my pregnancy, which allowed me to simply enjoy my son after his birth. I often thought later about how mothers have to deal with all of the physical and hormonal changes after the birth of a child, in addition to all of the energetic and psychological transitions and growth, and it seems utterly overwhelming. The opportunity to process a huge portion of that before the birth was a gift. Now, whenever people remark to me how my boy is always happy and smiling, I remember all of the work that I did with Denise, and I am so profoundly grateful." - A.F., SF Bay Area
"I had no expectations when I first came to see Denise Bendl’s practice for some help with what I thought was a deep depression. I felt so encouraged and awakened by my first session with her that I immediately scheduled another appointment for myself and one for a dear friend. I could hardly wait for the next consultation. Since then I have become a devoted client and one of Denise’s most avid fans. Her approach is different from other modes of healing that I have experienced. I find Denise’s non-judgmental manner, her vocabulary and use of imagery all extremely affecting. I still look forward to the sessions with the same level of anticipation – they are both enjoyable and incredibly revealing. Most importantly, I feel the results having a direct effect on my day-to-day life and wellbeing. Denise has a very healing powerful gift. I feel with each weekly visit, I gain a greater understanding of myself and feel more connected to people and the universe surrounding me. My life has grown in a myriad ways in the less than six months that I have been consulting her. I feel both enormously grateful and delighted that our lives have crossed." - A.M., San Francisco, CA
"Denise uses a unique and gentle approach to facilitate powerful transformational healing. She combines her great wisdom, intuition and profound insights with loving compassion and understanding. I honor her healing work and am deeply grateful for the generosity of her spirit and the resulting direct numerous benefits in every area of my life." - C.F., San Francisco, CA
"There are no accidents. Searching for someone who could help heal a long-standing disconnection from myself and my life's purpose, I found in Denise something far more valuable--a gifted, compassionate spirit who is teaching me how to heal myself. She has no personal agenda beyond being sensitive, supportive, and lovingly present. Her ability to resonate with where I am and what I need to move forward seems effortless and inspires deep trust, not only in her, but in my own potential. By modeling interconnectedness, she fosters my own; and with honesty, humor, and humility, nurtures growth in every session." - S.S., Davis, CA
“About seven years ago my personal and professional lives began to unravel. Who I thought I was and what I had created in my life didn’t fit any more. I called for a teacher and Denise Bendl showed up, and she has been a compassionate and wise counselor for me ever since.
I trust that my life journey is unique unto me, tailored to my specific needs – and Denise gets that. Her approach is of utmost integrity, allowing for my greater good and free will at every step. With Denise I have explored life and my experiences of it on many levels, always moving toward healthy integration of all that I am. Denise’s personal presence and her capacity to witness truth absent all judgment inspires and comforts one toward deep introspection, acceptance, understanding and ultimate growth. Her innate abilities as a guide and teacher are mirrors to what is possible for us all. Her grace-filled work is deeply healing, life affirming, and such a joy.” J.C., San Francisco, CA
“Thank you. And Denise, Thank you so much for what you did for me when I was sick. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for you valuable work with me. It helped me so much. I don't even think I possess the right words to convey how much it helped me! May it all come back to you and more.” S.C., Sausalito, CA
"Thank you for yesterday's session, which was one of the most transformative sessions I've had." M.S., San Francisco, CA
"Thanks, again, for the session tonight - always enlightening and lightening, even more so this evening." -M., San Francisco
"Thank you so much for another amazing session. I appreciate you more than you know." L., San Francisco
"I just wanted to check in and thank you again for the amazing retreat you created. I feel so blessed to spend those days with you in the Guru’s grace. I am so incredibly grateful for everything you've shared with me and for the reopening and deepening of my relationship with God, and with the Guru and the other saints. I've been meditating again and trying to keep up my practice of prayer and communion with God. This rediscovered devotional flame, has been lighting up my .. life here. The new vibration is shifting my world here, and I am embracing the new chapter as it unfolds. Thank you so very much for lighting the way for me, yet again. You are truly an angel to me. “ A.M.
