Participant Experiences
"Heather has a unique ability to hold the space for people to explore their inner and outer experiences. The amount of time and space she provides (and the music!) gives a meditative quality to each exercise. I found myself really tapping into deeper and deeper layers within myself in the workshop. I highly recommend her classes!"
- Zoe Wright-Bell, Expressive Arts Class Participant
“Working with Heather has been invaluable in honing in on the source of my ideas...Heather’s guidance through movement improvisation, drawing, writing, and conversation allowed me as a creator to dive deeper into my process and gain a better understanding of its origins and personal importance… By the end of our time together I can more clearly talk about my ideas and see where they want to go..”
- Rachel Meyer, choreographer / 1 on 1 work
"Heather’s kindness, compassion, creative spirit and somatic wisdom inspired me to no end. She created a space where I felt safe and encouraged to be vulnerable, explore my edges, and challenge my own physicality and artistry. The result was a feeling of belonging and the stoking of the flame of creativity within me ... I was gifted with a sense of healing and wholeness that I treasure..."
- Rachel Helten, dance workshop participant
