Relationships That Satisfy Instead of Stress
About Heather
What do you do?
“I help people navigate the inevitable curve balls and difficult circumstances that life throws their way. We often end up talking about emotional and interpersonal dynamics because that’s a place many people get triggered and feel unable to shift the patterns”
How do you do, what you do?
“My approach works from the inside out by addressing old patterns and unconscious beliefs. I offer my clients a combination of both practical tools and spiritual insights. I teach vital skills around Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, Relationships and Confidence. They take some time to learn and implement but have the power to take your life and relationships to new levels of wellbeing”
What lights me up is helping my clients improve the areas that feel off, stagnant, or dysfunctional in their lives and get a serious dose of wellbeing in the process. The cherry on top is that all of their relationships improve in the process, they end up feeling more grounded, happier in their bodies and their lives.
Our conversations are bound to spark deep insights and profound healing.
Fun Facts:
- I have a passion for fashion…In my 20’s I worked in fashion and left the industry soon after completing my yoga teacher training. I wan’t sure I was ready to teach, but quitting the fashion industry is what propelled me onto my own healing path. Which started with InnerYoga, where I experienced deep shifts, including healing my propensity for codependent and conflict ridden relationships, as well as my disordered relationship with food. I was compelled to support others and was drawn to coaching’s solution focused approach as well as the collaborative dynamic that’s created in the powerful relationship that exists between coach and client.
- I’m a certified coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), which is basically the Harvard of coach training programs.
- I have worked with hundreds of women (and a few savvy men) to improve their love-lives, work-lives, family dynamics, build confidence, reduce stress/anxiety and most importantly, build a loving relationship with themselves.

Testimonials
Heather is a stellar relationship coach. She’s helped me evaluate the many issues in my relationship, and is able to key into the REAL underlying issues by digging deep. That re-framing of the “why is this happening??” question pertaining to those problems has been instrumental in solving them. She’s got a whole lotta heart too, and that shows through in her work. She’s a lovely individual, and the perfect person to have at your side in times of need (and has helped me notice and celebrate what’s going well too). I highly recommend her!
Heather is the Olivia Pope of love. She’s a fixer!
She’s the love-life expert you need. You probably don’t know it, but you really need her! Some of the best money I ever spent! I still book time with Heather (3 years later!) when there’s a crisis that I want to handle smoothly. I highly recommend her, the greatest!
Heather’s coaching advice is definitely the best advice I have gotten regarding my dating life. She’s part Boot Camp, and a toolbox chock full of skills and tools, all in one great package! Her honest, and non-judgmental approach will help you realize what you need to know in order to move forward in your dating life. She is very professional yet at the same time personal enough to get to know who her clients truly are, and what they need to be successful. I strongly encourage you to seek out her services for especially if you need help in the area of dating. I found her coaching practical, empowering, and helped me feel more confident and find my authentic self, my real voice. Her enthusiastic attitude shines brightly which made me feel optimistic about the goals I hoped to achieve. I highly recommend Heather as a life coach and relationship expert, to anyone. We face so many challenges in our lives, you really don’t have to go-it alone.
As a team building exercise I hired Heather to come give us a class on communication. I own a salon and I thought it would be helpful for working with clients, co-workers and outside relationships. Heather was better than I could have ever imagined. She started by showing us a few of the basic styles/patterns of communicating most of us use (see bad habits!) and gave us tips on how to hear and be heard better. She left time for Q&A at the end, every single person on my team raised their hand to get Heather’s input on a challenge they were having! She put everybody at ease and they were comfortable opening up and got some really awesome fixes for them. Heather was honest, fun and informative. My staff and I still refer to what we learned from her. I recommend Heather to friends and clients who are seeking help in their love-lives and family issues.
