Denise Pearson

Denise’s first career was a cosmetologist, but her love of medicine inspired her to make a career change. In 1994 she graduated from Shasta College as a Registered Nurse. That same year, she married the love of her life, John, and moved to Redding where they have lived ever since raising their two children, now grown. While at CHW she specialized in ICU/CCU medicine. In 2000 she decided to further her career and returned to school, graduating in 2003 from Stanford University as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She has specialized in Women’s Health for over 15 years. As evidenced by her first career choice, she has always been interested in helping people look and feel their best. This lead her to the field of aesthetic medicine which she has done for the last 3 years, recently becoming a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS). She loves to travel, both for personal pleasure and to support many women’s and children’s charities around the world. Her favorite past times involve good food and wine, reading, and spending time with her family.
