Five years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life, and working with Heather transformed everything. Her Adlerian, holistic, and self-empowerment approach gave me the tools to rebuild my confidence and take control of my journey. With her deep and broad knowledge in healing and self-improvement, she guided me through profound growth. Heather’s intelligence and sharp insight made every session truly helpful, providing not just support but real, lasting change. I am forever grateful for her wisdom, compassion, and the empowerment she has given me.

Doing something like this was new for me, but Heather instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease to share and talk things out. She has a special way with her words and methods that makes you shift your way of thinking to help you move to that next step, or next level. She creates a very safe environment and lets the conversation flow with ease. I truly appreciate her time, expertise and approach.

Optimal Life Quote

When I first started seeing Heather about 4-5 years ago, I was going through a difficult breakup. My self-worth was at an all-time low, and I felt powerless—honestly, I was a bit of a mess. But with Heather’s guidance, everything started to change.

She helped me break the cycle of settling for relationships that didn’t align with my values or boundaries. Just two weeks after she encouraged me to explore those and accept that not putting time into meaningless relationships was an act of self-respect, I met my now fiancé—and for the first time, I had the clarity and confidence to recognize that he was truly worth my time.

Heather has also helped me realize that I can and should dream bigger. She constantly encourages me to step into opportunities I never believed I deserved before. Through our work together, I’ve developed the tools to feel worthy, reclaim my power, and make decisions that serve me. One of my biggest breakthroughs was when she supported me through leaving a professional situation that no longer served me, helping me navigate the guilt and step into empowerment instead.

Looking back, I hardly recognize the person I was when I started. I feel more confident, self-assured, and capable than ever, and I’m so grateful for Heather’s role in my continued growth. If you're considering working with Heather, I can’t recommend her enough. She creates a safe, supportive space to help you gain clarity, confidence, and the tools to truly step into your best self. If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of your worth, trust me—Heather will help you find your way forward.

Heather was wonderful. I was able to reach her easily via text and email and shortly book an appointment for the next day. The office is a professional calm space, she was easy to speak with and sent me an abundance of interesting material in different formats after just the first session.

Heather has really helped me get my life and my nutrition back on track. I've had a rough year of injuries which lead to a lack of overall motivation. I went to Heather for help with my nutrition and she has exceeded my expectations. She pays very close attention to details and she has been able to coach me through the ups and downs. She has taught me so much about proper nutritional fueling for performance and she has always been very quick to answer any questions or concerns I may have. I would recommend Heather to anybody and everybody who wants to perform at a higher level. Thanks Heather!
