Slow the f*ck down. Reconnect to your body & its divine wisdom.
Hi, I’m Heather.
I’m not here to do things the way they’ve always been done. I am here to rock the boat, to challenge the mainstream and status quo, and to be the person I so desperately needed on my healing journey, yet never found.
Whether it be due to illness, injury, loss, trauma, life transitions, mid-life crisis or yes, menopause, you’ve likely found me, because you’re searching, searching for something more than healing.
You’re searching for presence, depth and truth – your own truth – that can only be found by unlearning the BS society taught you and connecting to your innate wisdom.
Unfortunately, many healing spaces are clinging to and perpetuating patriarchal acceptable versions of the divine feminine. I’m here to change that.
You can’t heal, find your truth or follow your soul in spaces where you have to shrink, play small and edit your words, or where it’s NOT okay to be your authentic self.
I help you get out of your head, reconnect to your body and its divine wisdom, while supporting you to heal your nervous system, transform pain and trauma, and change deeply ingrained survival patterns that are keeping you stuck.
I’ve listened to the human body and helped people heal for nearly 25 years and have over 25 years experience in teaching and training. I’m a Registered Massage Therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, MindBody Therapy Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Certified Coach, Reiki Master and Martial Artist.
It’s time to follow your soul and thrive, not simply survive.
My Unlearning
My unlearning began over 20 years ago, when I started training in traditional martial arts. The dojo was the first environment to embrace my fiery, warrior spirit and encourage me to soar, limitless.
Karate taught me there’s nothing wrong with being a strong, powerful woman, while Tai Chi taught me the power of softness, silence and simply walking away. So, I did. I walked away from a life and city filled with memories of trauma and started over at 40.
As I began to soar, a 7-year battle with post-concussion syndrome, chronic pain and chronic fatigue took me on a long, lonely journey home, back home to my soul and the person I came here to be.
Hiding under layers upon layers of societal and patriarchal conditioning, protective armour, masking, defence and coping mechanisms, I found a person I vaguely knew – not the person society wanted me to be, nor the person I had contorted myself to be to survive. I found someone new.
I discovered a woman, who was never allowed to fully flourish, thrive and soar; a force to be reckoned with who was caged, taught to hide her power and ridiculed anytime she questioned the norm or stepped away from the status quo. A woman, I’m still learning about and a woman others are only now beginning to meet.
A little about me…
I’m a 1/3 Projector and Taurus, born in the year of the Water Ox.
I’m a geek. Star Wars, Star Trek, The Matrix, LOTR, Xena, Buffy, Stargate, Supernatural and most of the Infinity Saga (Marvel) are some of my faves.
I’m happiest in nature, whether it be on a quiet beach or less travelled hiking trail.
I’ve lived in 3 provinces, 10 cities/towns and moved over 2 dozen times.
I taught first-aid, trained lifeguards and led emergency procedures trainings across the Greater Toronto Area, for 20 years, and briefly worked as an Emergency Medical Services Communications Officer.
At 40 years old, I got rid of most of my belongings and taking only what I could fit into my car, I moved from Toronto, Ontario to the ski-resort town of Whistler, British Columbia; a place I had never visited with no friends, job or even a place to live. I lived, worked and played in Whistler for 7 years. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
