Meet Heather

For as long as I can remember, I have been a highly sensitive and empathic person. Even as a little girl I could always sense the emotions of others and had a natural healing ability. I was brought up in a very nurturing home with lots of time and education in nature and encouraged to explore my spirituality. My parents both had degrees in horticulture so my sister and I grew up helping in the garden growing vegetables, herbs and flowers. My father was an herbalist and always a seeker, exploring different religions and taught me a lot about eastern philosophy. My mother was a florist and worked as a bereavement & spiritual counsellor. She also explored alternative medicine and practiced therapeutic touch. She took us to Naturopaths and Allopaths, so growing up I understood the strength and value of traditional and alternative medicine, and that healing naturally was always the best route when possible.

My parents took me to many Satsangs and group meditations. I remember the the power of group chanting and sitting in silent meditation at a very young age. I was taught the power of dreaming and the importance it played in our everyday conscious experience. I have kept a dream journal since the age of 10 and still use it as a tool in my life and in my professional practice to this day. Around the same age, I practiced energy healing on my dog and plants in my room years before I studied Reiki. I can see energy fields around people and living things, and I understood very young that I had a gift. I am highly intuitive and use it to navigate my life and in service to others. I base my practice on my years of clinical training and evidence based medicine and therapies, and use my intuitive abilities as a guide. It's part of what makes me unique as a practitioner and therapist. My dreams have always been a source of guidance, and wisdom, and I have used this gift throughout my life. Many times before seeing a new client or before an appointment with a current one, I will have a dream or something will come up in meditation before a session that will prove very useful. I use this information as an opening for a difficult conversation, or a focal point for healing that we might not have gotten to otherwise. 

I started my career as a Personal Trainer, group fitness instructor and Coach working in several fitness facilities in Ontario. I worked with clients creating customized exercise and nutritional programs. I also worked in a health food store advising customers on supplements and seeing clients in a small office in the back of the store for wellness counselling. From there I went on to study several modalities and topics over a 10 year period including psychology, counselling, behavioural science, health sciences, energy healing, alternative medicine, shamanic medicine, and mindfulness meditation. My studies took me to several institutions and locations including the University of Toronto, The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, several online courses, the Beck Institute, and to a monastery in England where I completed my Reiki Master training and was the last group in the world to hold our graduation ceremony inside Stonehenge. 

I have had the blessing to study with talented healers, physicians, therapists, intuitives, and medicine men and women that have guided me to be the practitioner I am today.

Over the years I have had several offices, staff, one large healing Centre, and have finally landed in online private practice working out of the comfort of my home. Having an online practice allows me to live in deep connection with nature, which is essential for my well being. I combine Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Coaching, Mindfulness, Meditation, Intuitive Guidance, Hypnotherapy and Reiki to treat a variety of conditions. As well, combining my knowledge of Nutrition and Lifestyle and Intuitive gifts as adjunctive care for the clients overall wellbeing. I have worked with hundreds and hundreds of people throughout my career and am blessed to witness beautiful healing and transformation. I am honoured to work with each and every person that comes to me and continue to dedicate my work in the field of healing.

Heather currently splits her time between Manitoulin Islands and Fergus Ontario with her two Shih Tzu's Ben & Jack. They enjoy spending time in Nature exploring parks, trails, and nature reserves.
