Meet your coach

Heather is a globally recognized, ICF-certified transformational leadership coach, facilitator, consultant and educator. With over a decade of helping people uncover their true potential and aligning their actions with their dreams, she brings a rich diversity of experience, perspective, and approaches to the coaching room, online and off. She has worked with creators, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, freelancers, and leaders in multiple countries and from a wide variety of backgrounds to create the self- and situational awareness, courage, and practices they need to thrive in their passions.

Living and working in three countries, launching and leading educational programs designed to transform people’s careers, and founding a business during a pandemic have made her no stranger to leaps, transitions, and transformations. She is deeply committed to her own personal growth, so when you work with her you’re working with someone who has been there and can walk beside you.

As a multi-modality coach, she works with somatics, cognitive-behavioral techniques, values and purpose, mindfulness-based practices, habit building, and enquiry-based approaches. She firmly believes that to thrive in business as well as life, leaders need to start with the skills of self-acceptance and compassion, shifting first the way they relate to themselves and then allowing that to inform the way they relate to others in all areas of their lives, from the deeply personal to the professional. She works with you as a whole person, and the result is a life that is more satisfying and meaningful all around.

Currently based in Tokyo, Japan, she works with clients from all over the world. She is a passionate advocate for all women and for mental health. In her free time you can find her creating, wandering around Japan, enjoying good food and drink, and caring for her many, many houseplants.

Congratulations!
