My Story
Hi, I'm Heather
I’m an intuitive energy guide.
For over 25 years, I’ve been working with people, perhaps like you, on discovering, remembering, loving, & courageously being their true, beautiful selves.
I’m passionate about this work because I know, first hand, what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by emotions & disconnected from your own self and what it's like to be your whole self in connection...
Growing up as an intuitive Empath, I always felt different. I also had a challenging family of origin (narcissistic parents).
I covered up my true self a lot and felt pressure from my family to be happy, "successful" in their terms, and helpful.
You know, "good." ;)
I spent a lot of time trying to make other people happy and as a result, I lost connection with my true self and values.
​
I love being in connection when I can be my true self but I didn't always know how to do that -- until I began to awaken and listen to my intuition more than my ego.
​
​
It took a long time for me to come home to myself. And, being in tune with myself while connecting with others is something I still work on.
​
It’s no wonder, given that I wanted to be in connection but didn’t know how that I trained and worked as a relational and mindfulness-oriented clinical psychologist. I loved it.
But, after 14 years as a therapist, I began to feel burned out from long hours, challenging stories, & from picking up emotions from clients.
​
A colleague suggested I try Reiki so that I could let go of others’ energy, & to my surprise, I opened up intuitively & began to be able to work with my energy rather than feel controlled by it.
I’d always been intuitive, but this was intuition on a new scale! Suddenly, I had support. I didn’t have to figure things out on my own! I also felt a deeper connection with animals & began to read energy, & understand things without analyzing them. This rocked my world, & I knew this was the work I was meant to do! ​
Fun Facts
1.
My amazing partner, Erin, and I have been together for 17+ years...
(I was NOT always great at relationships; it’s been a huge part of my journey to open my heart again & let people in).
2.
I told my mother at 4 that I knew I would be a bride and have a bride...
(she was like “You’re just confused!” But, I knew! I’ve always been intuitive. And, I love helping people learn to listen to their own intuition.)
3.
I love animals & nature...
Which is why a percentage of your payment goes to supporting organizations like Animal Friends & the Humane Society.
