Welcome
You may be challenged – to heal, we must change
In finding me and my work, you are likely grateful that someone is a straight talker.
Thorough, honest caring and likely, necessarily unorthodox
One of my students (thanks Josi) laughingly said – “Heather needs to come with a warning”.
Needed now – what works
I am here to provide a way out of STUCK – no limitations.
In whatever form, maternity defines us.
How it grew us, broke us, catapulted us into maturity, or captured us in sorrow
Pregnancy
Practitioner Courses
My passion has been teaching acupuncturists since 1981. I co designed, co wrote an alternative undergraduate course, then went into teaching practical post graduate acupuncture workshops, seminars, writings and mentoring. Always from my lived clinical experience, researching and developing as I went. From 2014, this became womb centric. The gyne, structural and all ‘high risk’ pregnancies that were being directed to me needed more than what had been written, so I moved into women’s ways of knowing – from diverse oral traditions, into deep touch therapy, weaving whatever was needed.
Whilst Heather’s Gentling Ways are grounded in Qi and the soul mission we have chosen here this time around, anyone can take on this body of work, as it is common sense, requiring humility, an open mind, and a questing heart, not a plethora of prior knowledge. The key in all my teachings is follow life/nature.
