Heidi’s Essence

  • As a creator, I envision the art of the possible and lead with intention, authenticity and purpose.

  • As a builder and connector, I am passionate about creating a more beautiful world filled with spaces for healing and growth.

  • As a teacher and a leader, I believe we can create a more joy-filled and compassionate world.

  • As a lifelong learner, I am curious about how we can explore creatively, move thoughtfully and develop better spaces and places where we can thrive.

  • As a speaker, I am a storyteller and empower women to connect back to their highest selves through transparent and honest talk about my story and life’s challenges and opportunities.

“Heidi’s classes are the highlight of my week.  Her flows are beautifully crafted and I leave feeling equally calm and energized.  She creates clarity, beauty and spreads joy. It’s impossible to take a class with her and not feel better about yourself and the world. My body and breath always thank me for showing up.”
