MEET HEATHER
Empowering you to find your way back to yourself in a soft, felt, and nourishing way 
I was building a full and precious life…
A loving husband and two daughters I adore.
A cozy home nestled in the redwoods of Northern California.
A stable career as a clinical therapist supporting clients in private practice and collaborating with healthcare providers and inpatient eating disorder centers.
From the outside, it looked like I was soaring.
Yet, underneath it all:
- I was battling chronic pain every day, desperately searching for true healing and longing to feel good in my own skin.
- I was feeling constricted in the therapy room—wishing I could do more than “talk therapy” to support my clients in mind, body, and spirit.
…until my body asked me to listen.A ruptured appendix and too many hospital visits left me fighting for my life. The doctors did what they could, but no one could figure out what was actually happening to me.
I felt scared and helpless, but somewhere deep inside, a part of me refused to give up. A few months later, an unexpected yet quite intuitive pull led me to sign up for an Embodied Yoga Life Coach Training that not only healed and ignited me but also changed everything….
Then, I came home to embodiment.
I embarked on a healing journey to reconnect with my genuine self, my body, and what lights me up. Within months, I felt like a completely different person. After years of not knowing, I finally understood that my chronic pain was likely rooted in the lived experiences my nervous system was holding on to.
Eventually, the pain started to fade away. And now, connecting with my body feels like pure bliss.
Today, I blend 25+ years as a therapist with somatic training to be a life coach for women who feel stuck, burned out, or tired of sacrificing themselves.
I’m here to help you find your way back home—just like I did.And as we empower each other to fully exhale and walk toward what we desire, I hope we can slowly create ripples to transform our families, communities, and the world.
