Happy Course Participants

 

"Heather has the ability to draw your creative and personal struggles out of you in a safe and supportive way. She equips you with the tools and confidence to pursue your goals with a concrete and coherent plan."

~ Z. Stratford, Canadian west coast abstract painter

"Thanks Heather! I just wanted to say how much we ALL appreciate your guidance. Your way of listening and encouraging is just amazing and such a gift that you share with us. I so appreciate the way you can make this group both safe and “steered”. Thank you!!!"

~ M. Williamson, Painter

Heather helped me to crystallize my goals and to set up a system for working towards them that is not just sustainable but regenerative. Each time I would meet with Heather she would hand me a new tool from a wide range of disciplines - neuroscience, permaculture, design thinking - and each time it was exactly, uncannily the tool I needed. On top of all that, the process felt really joyful. Thanks, Heather!

The Life Design course helped set me on a course for my future that I didn't know I had the courage to try. Meeting others and supporting one another on our journeys was the highlight of my week. It is amazing what one can imagine and accomplish when they are supported. Heather’s experience and knowledge helped lead each of us to where we wanted to go. I learned something new with each passing week. I will continue to use everything I learnt to move forward towards my goals.

Heather is a very skilled facilitator who expertly guides you through the process of connecting who you are with what you do. I don’t always trust myself, but not only did I figure out what it is I would like to do, but I realized that I am not far off the path to achieving my goals. I also, through life design with Heather, became very comfortable with the idea of small steps to achieve big dreams. As someone who wants instant results, this was huge for me. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Heather.

Being enrolled in Heather’s Life Design Course during my final year of my degree and a global pandemic could not have been more timely. This course has offered me an incredible amount of direction in a confusing and overwhelming time of my life. Heather’s approach is empathic, focused, and inspiring. The course modules are designed to create space for both structure and flexibility, allowing me to express myself creatively and purposefully. There was a flow to the course that helped me become more mindful of how I was structuring my time in university and preparing for my future. These engaged observations provided a foundation on which I was able to design the life I want to lead and provided me with a great amount of confidence that I have been able to carry with me since completing the course. I now feel I have more agency over my life’s path and am more equipped to make calculated decisions that honour my values and strengths. Heather’s Life Design Course has truly impacted my final university experience and has guided me toward making confident and informed choices about my future. It is thanks to Heather and the skills I gained through her course that I feel ready to actively participate in my life.
