​
Heather is passionate about teaching from the powerful intersection of Ayurveda & Yoga. In 2008, she completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health (Stockbridge, MA) and has been teaching ever since; first in her hometown Chicago and now here in Milwaukee. In 2012, she graduated from the Kanyakumari Ayurveda & Yoga Center (Glendale, WI) as a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.
​
Heather has been training yoga teachers-to-be in Ayurveda, Pranayama, and Prenatal Yoga since 2011 for Yama Yoga’s 200-hour yoga teacher training (Milwaukee, WI). She has taught weekly prenatal and postnatal yoga classes at the Well-Rounded Maternity Center from 2016-2019 and then at the Bay View Community Center until 2020.
In 2018, Heather joined forces with Amy Kranz of the Milwaukee Prenatal Yoga Community (formerly The Womb Room) to co-create and teach a Yoga Alliance-approved prenatal yoga teacher training. Since then she has earned the status of Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher and Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher from Yoga Alliance.
Her goal as a teacher is to help others access inner wisdom. In her Ayurvedic practice, she's committed to empowering women in conception, pregnancy, and postpartum and offering holistic tools to care for themselves and their children. She sees clients at A Space for Change (virtually for now) and lives in Milwaukee with her family.
