Become your own best friend

I love people and life.  I wish I could still get my toes in my mouth like my Grand Daughter.  I used to be incredibly serious and will put that bio at the end for those who want to read it.

I take my career helping others very seriously and add in humor, fun and kindness.

I came from a seriously challenged childhood.  Lots of abuse and parents that really shouldn't have had kids. I am grateful however that they had me and my sister. 

I never lost my love for life and curiosity.  There were many times that I did want to stop the world for a while and hide.  I found many numbing techniques and escapes when I was young.  That is what we do when in pain and it is actually a high level coping mechanism.  However when the coping methods no longer work, become addictions or burn us out we need to stop them, face our inner shadows, become our own best friend and heal.

I have been referred to as a "Healed Healer".  Meaning I have done the work, and continue to do the work, to heal my past traumas and demons. I found tools and processes that keep me in a good place even when the "you know what" hits the fan and for the most part I really enjoy life and am ridiculously curious. 

My favorite thing in the whole wide world is when I get to watch my clients heal, become their own best friend and see their magnificence and beauty.

Ok here is the formal Bio

Heidi Started her Journey at age 17, more than 40 years ago when she came across her first yoga master from India who piqued her natural curiosity about the body and mind.  From this point Heidi has been fascinated with how the world we live in and create for ourselves affects us and our well-being.  She received her first certifications in applied kinesiology when she was 21 and has continued to study Energy Medicine, movement and the art of ritual and ceremony.  Even while in corporate America teaching internationally in the computer industry she continued to study internationally and work with clients privately.  Finally, in 2001 after 911 she left her corporate position of 25 years realizing her heart was in helping people to heal and feel whole.  

Heidi has felt blessed and honored to have learned and shared with hundreds of clients over the years and studying with wonderful teachers like Roselyn Breyer, Hyemeyohsts Storm, Debra Ray, Emilie Conrad and Sobonfu Some’ and ELKK at Avalon Empowerment. She has had the joy of spending time in the Peruvian Andes and Rainforest, Bolivia, Mexico, Europe, Nepal and the united states studying with the indigenous people.  

In addition, she is a Master NLP Practitioner, Certified Miracle Minded Coach, certified and licensed massage therapist, movement teacher, health coach and author of three books.

“I have come to believe our greatest teacher is our living body and spirit.  The inherent wisdom and joy that resides within will let us know exactly what is best for our joy and wholeness if we take the moments in time to pay attention and listen deeply.”
