Philosophy
Heather’s philosophy is to bring awareness into the body in order to bring about relaxation and more embodiment. She occasionally weaves in grounding meditations, visualizations, and affirmations in order to help her clients go deeper into settling and arriving. She works to create a safe enough container with her clients so that they can go inward and notice where their tension is so that the breath can bring about more spaciousness. Joint mobilization, stretching, and more focused work get woven in, as needed.
