Hi I'm Heather
Originally from beautiful Cornwall, UK, I moved to Western Australia in 2013 with my husband and 2 (now adult - what!?) children. I live with them and our crazy border collie in Bunbury, enjoying all that the incredible South West of WA has to offer.
A former stressed out perfectionist and people pleaser, I used to second guess all my decisions, did not trust myself, and worried about ALL the things, ALL the time.
Yet with the support of talented practitioners, I gently learned how to find the calm within me and to navigate life with more joy and ease.
I have always loved supporting others to achieve their goals, and spent much of the last 20 years as a fitness professional. After many years in the fitness industry, my passion for supporting others naturally developed and I knew I wanted to not only support my clients to look and feel good physically, but mentally and emotionally, just as I myself had been supported.
I embarked on an ongoing journey of professional and self-development, building upon my qualifications, skills and understanding to provide my clients with a truly holistic approach to their wellbeing.
My Approach
My approach is centred around empowering my clients. I believe that by providing you with practical tools and support, you are able to tap into your own innate ability to heal, and create the change you wish to see in your life.
As a qualified professional Counsellor and Coach, I offer a holistic, person-centred approach, drawing on a variety of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (Clinical EFT), Brief Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. This allows me to create a personalised experience for each of my clients.

"I received many Reiki treatments from Heather at a time when my whole emotional world was turned upside down. After every session I always felt so relaxed and supported. Heather is such a caring and talented person, I would highly recommend working with her."
