The following evidence-based traditions are designed to help us have more clarity, compassion and ease to navigate the difficulties we face in our everyday lives. My offerings center on the following modalities:

- Mindfulness: A practice for enhancing self-awareness, regulating attention, and reducing and managing stress.
- Integrative Health: A framework to bring more intention and attention to your well-being, in all facets of life.

What my clients are saying…

You seem to have a deep toolbox of skills and can provide tools and frameworks that meet the situation. I never feel like you are trying to force my situation to fit your skills/process.

I can’t express how much I enjoyed interacting with you during our coaching sessions. I got so much more out of it than I could have possibly imagined. With your gentle & insightful guidance, I was able to shift some long ingrained patterns of harsh self-judgment.

I love your gentleness, your compassion and am grateful to have found you!

You’ve ushered me from a frustrated to an optimistic mindset in such an enjoyable way. I have immense appreciation. Thank you!

Heather was able to really hear what was shared and offer meaningful, honest reflection. I appreciated her teaching … and I had many “aha” moments.

The facilitation was superb. I felt the presence and kindness of Heather in each session. She is especially skilled at asking open ended questions with curiosity and kindness that draw out more of the participants experiences.

(Heather) brings an intuitiveness to her work with others. She offers an incredible ‘safe space’. There was never a moment working with Heather where I felt what I was going to share would not be ok. She takes everything in stride and is a fantastic listener and teacher!

I took a slow flow yoga class with you about a month ago and really loved it! It was the type of practice that kept blossoming throughout the next several days for me after the class. You have a great sense of depth, ease and an un-rushed teaching style that’s rare among yoga teachers.
