Heather grew up in Eureka, Kansas, where she was a lifeguard, taught swimming, and worked as a country music radio DJ without knowing or particularly liking the genre! Traveling a winding road from a Peace Corps volunteer to an international development NGO communications manager, Heather has seen it all, from a business communications professor in Kansas City to a copywriter for healers in Boulder. Having practiced Transcendental Meditation since moving to Boulder in 2014, Heather sees spas, retreats, and resorts as sanctuaries for inner peace and well-being.

Heather has lived in Washington, DC, Kansas City, MO, and Togo, West Africa. Some of her favorite travels have included work trips to Kosovo and Ethiopia and personal trips to Bali and the Loire Valley.

Heather's work as a writer, soft-spoken marketer, and spa consultant has been about bringing out the best in others. As Gandhi said, “When you make yourself into zero, your power becomes invincible.
