A steadier relationship with yourself changes everything.
Self-compassion–based coaching and workshops
Reconnect with yourself. Navigate change with more ease. Take intentional steps forward.
Many thoughtful, caring people share how hard it can be to find balance, offer themselves kindness under pressure, and replenish without guilt—especially during times of stress, transition, or uncertainty.
Through self-compassion–based coaching and workshops, I offer space to slow down and work with research-backed tools that support:
- More balance and steadiness in daily life
- A kinder, more supportive response to yourself under pressure
- Sustainable ways to replenish your energy—without guilt
When Insight Isn’t Enough
You may understand yourself well—yet in moments of pressure, insight alone doesn’t always lead to relief or change. Familiar patterns take over, and your own needs can slip to the side.
This is where self-compassion becomes practical.
Not as a mindset alone, but as a set of skills that help you work with what’s happening with more awareness, clarity, and kindness—especially when things are hard.
How Change Actually Happens
My approach is grounded in research-backed, mind–body practices used in health, education, and well-being settings to support meaningful, sustainable change.
Steadiness in Real Life
Develop the capacity to work with stress, pressure, and uncertainty—so you feel more grounded, replenished, and resourced.
Self-Compassion as a Practical Skill
Learn evidence-based ways to respond to challenge with encouragement and discernment—supporting kinder self-talk, less guilt, and greater well-being.
Insight That Translates Into Action
Bridge reflection and action by taking intentional, realistic steps forward that align with your values.
Sustainable Change, Built Over Time
Focus on small, supportive shifts that build momentum—without pushing, forcing, or overhauling your life.

Hi, I’m Heather
I’m a Certified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher and National Board–Certified Health & Wellness Coach, with a master’s degree in counseling and additional training in mindfulness, embodiment, yoga, and trauma-informed approaches.
My style is grounded, attentive, and practical.
I also know this work from the inside. Like many people I work with, I navigate stress, change, and the ongoing practice of balancing care for others with care for myself.
My focus is helping you to understand your inner experience with compassion — and translate that understanding into skillful, real-life change.
Client reflections
“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.“
“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!“
