Heather's interest in Spirituality began in childhood and continued throughout college. She continues her soul discovery and personal growth journey and considers herself a lifelong learner. She has studied A Course in Miracles and the Bible, has attended classes at the Art of Living Center and The One Light Center, and has taken many courses in Reiki, Crystal Healing, Archangelic Light, Angel Card Reading and Healing, and more. She is a certified Visionary Art Therapist who teaches therapeutic art classes online and in person. She continues to be a student of spirituality taught by various teachers on spiritual wisdom and the soul. She has extensive knowledge of Color, Chakras, Symbology, Auras, and Numerology. 

Heather has been on a spiritual quest for joy and purpose for over a decade and has had several initiatory awakening experiences since her early 20s. From childhood anxiety to corporate burnout, she has found and is joyfully living her soul's purpose, and she wants to help others do the same. Heather is developing the Courageous Creativity Course to work on all chakra centers so that you can embody the art and color needed to unlock intuition and banish burnout. She hopes that students who take the course start living their purposes with joy and fulfillment.

Heather is a creative conduit who believes artists are channelers of the divine and that we are connected. She creates her work through channeling, a conversation with God through her artwork. She is highly clairsentient and paints through her third-eye vision, a condition known as synesthesia. Colors are expressions of energy, and Heather sees much in the symbols and colors that come through when painting or offering a Spirit or Soul painting. She’s an expert in synchronizing healing color, intention, and symbol (sacred geometry/mandala) energies to manifest a piece that provides healing to its viewer. 

She has created hundreds of paintings to help clients manifest their intentions and bring high-vibrational, positive, and healing energy to their homes and offices.
