Hi! I'm Heather.

For as long as I can remember, I have turned to the natural world when seeking connection, belonging, support, and wonder.

I have found healing noticing the early evening light filtering through the oak leaves, felt my heart expand watching the flash of the kingfisher as it heads up river, embraced stillness standing beneath a full moon over fresh snow.

For decades I have been walking with and gathering the wisdom of seasonal rhythms, tending relationships with the plants and stones, learning from elders and wise ones. I have held the titles of farmer, educator, herbalist, constellation facilitator, boat builder, geologist, and creative explorer among many others. I return again and again to the forests, seaside, and fields in times of burnout, exhaustion, and overwhelm and emerge feeling more alive, renewed, and deeply connected to self.

I’ve gathered the tools and wisdom from my winding journey into classes and 1:1 offerings, so that wherever you find yourself on your path, you will be guided into reconnection feeling supported, nourished, and filled with wonder.

My approach is grounded in practical hands on experience, enriched by the wisdom offered by art, spirit, and intuition. I work with the foundational truth that you are the expert of your own knowing. My intention is to offer you tools and new perspectives, acting as a guide and facilitator, for your unique journey of discovery. It is then for you to tune in to what resonates and allow yourself the gift of exploration.

I primarily work with nature, land, and heart connection, intuition, and ancestral lineage.

And you? Do you...

Love to wander along woodland paths

Find beauty in a meadow full of seed heads glowing in the late autumn light

Enjoy exploring rock pools and gathering stones next to the crashing waves

Celebrate the return of snowdrops or the first ripe strawberry of the season

Gather inspiration from the dandelions pushing up between the pavements

Want to connect more deeply with yourself and those around you?

The Invitation

Your whole self belongs here.

Whether you are new to this path or have been walking it for decades,

Come make yourself at home.

I offer a mix of light, playful, joy-filled experiences as well as other explorations that go deeper allowing for old patterns and hidden shadows to be brought to light.

Tune in to what you are desiring in this moment and have a look at the offerings.

I welcome you to contact me with any questions.

Along the many paths of my journey I've learned:

That time is cyclical and so is growth.

The quiet voice of intuition is my trusted guide.

There is wonder to be found in the everyday-from the robin perching on the windowsill, to the soap bubbles rising off the washing up.

The more than human world is waiting to connect with us if we are willing to open to its magic.

Wandering off the path creates opportunities for more learning and space for serendipity.

That our senses can get dulled, by everyday life, monotonous routines, stressful schedules, never-ending winters, the unchanging supply of food at the grocers, and while heading off on a new adventure is one way to remedy it, our cravings for connection, belonging, and exploration can be met by opening to the world around and within us .

As a traveling nomad:

I witnessed icebergs in Newfoundland, stood beneath the northern lights in Alaska, harvested olives in Italy, sailed the the west coast of Scotland. Guided by intuition and open to serendipity, I am invigorated and energized by stepping out of familiar patterns, meeting new people, and the heightened senses that come from being in a place fully present.

I bring this love of exploration and sensory experience of presence into all the offerings I create.

As a farmer:

I became rooted in the rhythm of the seasons and found deep connections that grew out of being present on a piece of land day after day in all kinds of weather.

I experienced the way the flavors of food change, depending on the soil they were grown in and time of year they were harvested. Eating in tune to the seasons provided me with the nourishment my body craved, and connecting in this way brought anticipation and excitement for the first strawberries, the few weeks of fresh peas, the flavor of frosted carrots.

I found myself growing in the garden—next to the maturing lettuces and ripening tomatoes. I saw lives transformed, new truths learned, new directions realized by those who joined me there—through the simple routines of planting carrots, harvesting spinach.

Taking the time to be present, to observe, and immerse oneself in nature, helps create wonder, connection, and inspiration.

When introduced to the world of herbs:

I discovered a way to feel at home wherever I happen to find myself. Whether going for a walk across town or setting foot in a new place. Connected. Grounded.

Plantain. Dandelion. Elder. Nettles. Meadowsweet. Yarrow. Coltsfoot. Calendula. Thyme.

They greet me when I step onto new shores, scramble over rocks, walk through meadows, peer over garden gates. They show up along roadsides and peak out from between cracks in the pavement. Old friends, Wise teachers.

From them I have learned to trust my intuition.

To believe in my own unique power of knowing.

To create beautiful food that is healing to body and spirit (and tasty too!)

They have shown me new meanings of family and relationship.

The importance of gratitude, of practice, of ceremony.

I have experienced their strength, how they bring balance and work with our body's innate ability to heal. The way they invite us to pause and breathe deeply. And how they help us create joy and relaxation in our lives. Their scents and flavors stimulating our senses and helping to transport us back to lands we once walked and those we still long to wander. Gently, subtly, things begin to shift and move as we travel with them.

Honoring Ancestry:

Reconnecting with the one’s who came before, my heart opens, and I find myself held in a web of belonging. A solid foundation of support that I had sensed was missing, but could never name.

Each layer unpeeled reveals new perspectives, stories shift, and blockages open. Courage to embrace new ways of seeing are gradually integrated as those people and places who were forgotten are invited to return to their rightful place.

I face forward and feel the strength of lineage behind me. An ongoing journey.

Other things about me:

I love to create pictures with words, paint on a canvas of soil, and cook food that tastes good and looks beautiful. I'm nourished by the ocean, northern climes, long walks in the woods, winters by the wood stove, and helping things grow (both people and plants!).

I studied and apprenticed in the art and science of herbalism with Rosemary Gladstar and trained as an Herbal Wellness Coach with Maia Toll.

I have a certificate as a Family Systems Constellations Facilitator from International Family Systems Constellations Training Institute. I received my BA in Geology from Carleton College, have my Permaculture Design Certificate, Reiki Adv 2nd Degree Certification, and study Taoist Stone medicine.
