How I Got Here

Hi!  My name is Heather and I am a life coach who likes to play in the realm of energetics. 

I built the life of the American dream. I had loving and devoted husband, 3 beautiful children, a dog, and an incredible home on a lake. My employer was great to me, I was fairly compensated, and had the most flexibility I could possibly have in corporate America, having the freedom to work from home, and whatever hours I wanted as long as I got my work done.  My 20 something self would have been whooping from the rafters.

And yet…

Something was missing. 

I couldn’t put it into words for a very long time. I was disconnected from Self. I was disconnected from nature. I was floating in a sea of apathy and couldn’t stand to look myself in the mirror long enough to find my way out. I found myself numbing out with screen time and alcohol, just to try to dull the feeling of deep dissatisfaction that permeated my evenings. 

I forgot things like the fact that I thrive in change. Change is my  happy place, and the monotony of motherhood and corporate America were slowly drowning me. I had no reason to be unhappy, so why couldn’t I just get over it and get on with living my incredible life? I forgot to use my innate intuition to help me navigate the world. In fact, I routinely shoved it down because it was too “strange.” I let the outside world influence what I thought was best for me. Ugh.

I had low-key been playing in the realm of spirituality and energetics since about 2011. I took courses from Buddhist nuns in my hometown, and quietly joined a couple of memberships that dabbled in things like spirit guidance calls and priestess circles.  I did it quietly, only ever really admitting to going to yoga classes, because that was what felt culturally acceptable. Never claiming the things that I thought I would be judged harshly for, or would let people see how “weird” I was, even though these were the things that were stoking that tiny fire inside my heart.

Fast forward to 2019, and I knew something had to give with my career.  I had long dreamt of owning a wellness center where people could enjoy yoga classes, massages, coaching, nutritional guidance, and more.  It was the PG version of what I was actually meant to do, but it got me thinking.  I felt like all of these spirit guidance calls and other activities I had been doing had been inviting me in deeper.  I decided to host a retreat for a few close friends to see how it felt to hold a beautiful retreat space for transformation.  It LIT me up like you wouldn’t believe.  So I decided then and there to sign up for a life coaching course.  Sadly, even though I was working in this field of energetics, I was still playing small.  Life Coach felt like the most palatable way to communicate what I was here to do. My thought was that I would complete a life coaching course and go on to host retreats and safe spaces for women to come together in circle.

And then the pandemic happened.  To say my plans were sidelined is an understatement. Like everyone else, I was facing working in a career from home with 3 kids, ages 2,4, and 6 home with me.  The biggest blessing of the entire pandemic was that it gave me the push to retire from my Corporate America job.  I think it would have taken me a lot longer had it not been for me being so uncomfortable trying to balance both that something had to give.

The down side was that my coaching course was put on hold.  I didn’t have the capacity to learn an entire new way of being while somewhat unexpectantly becoming a full time stay at home mom.  It was an adjustment period. And like I mentioned before, I am at my best when I am navigating change. 

When the earth came to a standstill, I suffered.  I felt more isolated and alone than ever before, even though I was constantly overstimulated by the amount of togetherness we were having.  I couldn't catch my breath. BUT the standstill did cause me to do one thing. It caused me to really look at my life. There was nowhere else to look. I leaned in to my groups where I was getting spiritual support, and my heart began to shift and change again.  Against the backdrop of the stillness of life during that time, the small shifts in my energy became more noticeable.  I began to feel where I could stretch and grow, and I began to look at what I truly wanted out of life.  I began to call to myself a life of Freedom, Simplicity, and LOVE.

In 2022 after the world began to come out of hibernation, my family and I were longing for a change.  We embarked on a year long adventure, pulled the kids out of school, and took them on a trip around the world, exploring 22 different countries and 4 continents.  We had 3 carry-on sized suitcases and every person had their own backpack.  We lived this life of simplicity and freedom, and I knew that I still had room to add in more love.  We met countless families and people from all around the world with different stories. Different triumphs and struggles.  And above all, we remembered that people are overwhelmingly good and kind. And in the way that sometimes only kids can, we were reminded that when you lead with love, an entire world unfurls at your feet. Those kids made friends with children and adults in multiple countries and languages, just by being their wonderful, curious, insightful selves.  

 As we began to wind down our travels, I felt the call back towards the coaching program. I completed the material and dove in.  I am now hosting virtual workshops, in person circles,  seasonal membership containers, and one on one high level coaching with a distinctly energetic twist.

If you are longing to feel connected to your Self again. If you are missing your connection to nature.  If you know you need a change but just can’t find the momentum to do it on your own, I ‘ve got your back.  I have a VISION for this world.  It is one where you and I live in our absolute truth.  The truth of our big, bold beautiful Self, that plays without limits and dreams without fear of rejection.  Imagine what a world we would live in if each and every one of us showed up living our actual purpose every day.  That is the world I dream of and the world I am here to walk beside you to create.  I don’t want to play small anymore.  I don’t think you do either.  I am here to hold the space for us to create and live in this new reality together.  See you soon
