I’m Heather- a Fascia Alchemy trained bodyworker, boy-Mom to one, homesteader, willow grower and weaver and sourdough bread expert, living in the Ottawa Valley- near Cobden, Forester’s Falls, Eganville, Pembroke & Renfrew.

After the birth of my son- I started a healing journey that had me examining the disconnect I felt to my body. The past 2-3 years I have spent learning from other women, reconnecting with my body in many ways to resolve chronic pain and regain strength to allow myself to do my very physical job of bread baking. 

Through this time I discovered fascia- the full body web of connective tissue that surrounds pretty much every organ, muscle and structure and is integrated throughout our whole body. 

Tending to my own fascia with self bodywork learned online relieved me of so much tension and ongoing pain in my body! But I could not find anyone who did this specific type of bodywork close by. I decided to sign up for my mentor Lindsay Courcelle’s training Fascia Alchemy. 

I have always been interested in the human body- I have an Honours BSc in Human Kinetics from University of Guelph. I feel like taking this training and offering myofascial release is a return home to my original interest but in a way that is more open and aligned with how I see the body as one whole system instead of separate parts. 

Everything I do is rooted with the knowing that we are one with what we call nature, that we are all connected whether we feel it or not and that there is a way back to this connection to our body through learning to listen and feel.
