Heather is a highly qualified occupational therapist (OTR/L) who holds a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) and is certified as a Professional Yoga Therapist (PYT). In 2008, she completed her Masters of Science in occupational therapy at Western Michigan University, where she initially focused on neuromuscular re-education and trauma recovery.
However, in 2014, Heather decided to shift her professional focus and specialize in women’s health across the life-span, with a particular emphasis on the pre-, peri-, and postnatal transition. Within her private practice, Heather is dedicated to empowering women on their transformative journey from womanhood to motherhood, addressing their needs holistically – body, mind, and spirit.
Heather offers a range of specialized, integrative services that consider the biopsychosocial aspects of women’s health. These services include pelvic health, lactation consultation, maternal mental health support, and lifestyle medicine. Her passion lies in helping women overcome various challenges they may encounter in their lives, such as loss and grief, personal shame, post-traumatic growth, acute and chronic pain, fear and anxiety, chronic stress and overwhelm, loss of control and functional independence, diminished personal autonomy and sense of self, as well as feelings of hopelessness and isolation.
