Who is Heather & how does she preserve her constitution whilst serving others intentionally with solid footing? At the pinnacle is Self/Family Care & Enrichment, Healing & Connecting in Nature, yoga & exercise with colorful food choices, adventurous travel, delving into foreign and tribal cultures & languages, with a personal story & sword sparring a Global Empowerment Project for girls & women and ongoing Lyme Disease Advocacy. Learning as a student with curiosity about the relationship equation between mindfulness, Jungian shadow work, neuroscience, family dynamics, the power & destruction of words, one’s life narrative, bio-mechanics & physical treatment modalities, and harmonizing human interactions with improved holistic health & functioning is always on her mind. Replenishing energy grows from sharing laughter and deep, soulful conversations with her family; beloved 90 year young Viennese mom, husband & best friend of 34 years, and their daughter training to be a physical therapist in Oxford & the USA, amidst always listening and learning from her dear friends & family across the globe. Equally, including instrumental challenges and humans she met at a train station in Prague, whilst riding a donkey in Greece, boarding a red double-decker bus in England, successfully facing a lifelong fear walking across a rope suspension bridge in Innsbruck whilst meeting 3 nuns from South America, and from a kind, homeless man with his beloved cat at a stop light. All these introspective interactions are what enlighten and sculpt her essence as an evolving, imperfect, loving human being; a Woman and a playful little girl, a Daughter, a Wife, a Mother, and a Healer.
