“There are many expressions of being in relationship and living in harmony with the natural world, to healing self and others. I’m deeply grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to experience, learn, grow and share the innate wisdom that has been passed down not only from my Ancestors, human teachers, and mentors, but their Helping Spirits and guiding forces. I owe my deepest gratitude to my Helping Spirits, they have not only supported me on my personal healing journey but are the ones who empower, guide, and support me in meeting the unique needs of my clients, students, and the ever-changing needs of our contemporary culture. My path has and continues to be one of commitment, trust, humility, integrity, and self-discipline. I’ve come to know compassion as one of my greatest allies along with surrender and trust. My practice and the medicine I carry are ever-evolving. I am wholeheartedly honored to be alive and on this path, to be stretched and challenged, blessed and blissed and everything in between.” ~ Heather
