ABOUT HEATHER

Nervous System Healing, Somatic Coaching, and Wildly Restorative Women’s Retreats. For women ready to rise, reconnect, and rewrite their story.

Transforming women’s lives through nervous system healing, somatic storytelling, and wildly restorative practices.

Why I Do This Work

After a decade as a globe-trotting photographer, dissolving a 20-year marriage, and burning out in ways that cracked me open, I realized something life-changing: we don’t heal by hustling.

We heal by coming home to ourselves.

Now I help women heal through somatic coaching, nervous system work, and restorative retreats that awaken creativity, connection, and courage

I didn’t build this work from theory alone — I built it from lived experience.

Burnout, reinvention, single motherhood, and choosing myself again and again shaped this path. Now I guide women back to their own inner steadiness through nervous system regulation, somatic coaching, and transformational retreat experiences designed to help you feel safe, alive, and wildly connected to your life again. Everything I teach is grounded, trauma-aware, and created for real women navigating real life.

Mindfulness, Somatics & Nervous System Healing

Your body already knows the way forward.
Together we use nervous system regulation, breathwork, and mindful movement to help you soften old patterns, expand your emotional capacity, and return to a grounded sense of safety. These practices are simple, repeatable, and powerful — designed for women navigating burnout, transition, grief, healing, or a deep desire for more. This is where your story begins to shift from survival to expansion. Build lasting physical resilience and flexibility through sequences that respect your body’s unique needs.

Community Support and Encouragement

You weren’t meant to rise alone.

My work is rooted in sisterhood — the kind of empowering, honest community that reminds you who you really are. Within retreats, circles, and somatic coaching, women gather to reconnect with their bodies, rewrite their stories, and step into lives that feel aligned and fully their own.

Shared breath. Shared experience. Shared rise.

Creativity, Expression & Life Design

Healing isn’t just internal — it’s expressive, brave, and wildly creative. Through journaling, storytelling, embodiment, and intentional ritual, we explore the parts of you that have been quiet for too long.

You’ll learn to honor your truth, reclaim your voice, and create a life that feels like art — rooted in joy, possibility, and deep self-trust.

After a decade as an award-winning destination photographer and a personal journey through burnout, divorce, and rebuilding her life from the ground up, Heather now supports women in rising into grounded, regulated, wildly connected lives.

Her work blends somatic healing, nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, storytelling, and restorative women’s retreats designed to help women return to themselves.

She specializes in supporting creative, high-capacity women navigating burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or a desire to reconnect with their bodies, purpose, and truth.
