YOU WERE CREATED FOR MORE THAN SURVIVAL.

There is a way forward.

Coaching can help you understand the patterns that have shaped you, reconnect with yourself, and begin moving toward greater clarity, freedom, and presence.

An integrative, trauma-informed approach to healing, growth, and moving forward.

Sometimes moving forward begins by understanding what has kept us stuck.

We all develop patterns that help us cope, protect ourselves, stay connected, or make our way through difficult experiences.

Over time, some of those same patterns can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, overwhelmed, uncertain, or unable to move forward in the ways we want to.

Coaching offers a collaborative space to become curious about those patterns, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and discover what greater freedom and choice might look like for you.

My Approach to Coaching:

Understand your inner world

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll become curious about the different parts of you—their roles, their fears, and what they may have been trying to protect.

Recognize the patterns that shape you

The Enneagram can help illuminate patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating, creating greater awareness, compassion, freedom, and choice.

Listen to your nervous system

Somatic and nervous-system-informed practices can help you notice what your body is communicating and develop greater capacity for regulation, safety, and presence.

Move from insight toward lived change

Understanding ourselves matters. But healing is not simply about knowing more. Together, we’ll explore how what you’re discovering can increasingly become something you are able to live from.

Do you find yourself…

  • Questioning your worth or wondering if you’re enough?
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself — or unsure who you are anymore?
  • Overthinking, replaying, or ruminating on something you can’t seem to resolve?
  • Feeling stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but still can’t seem to change?
  • Carrying the impact of betrayal, relational hurt, or feeling unseen or devalued?
  • Repeating relationship patterns that leave you overfunctioning, withdrawing, losing yourself, or longing for something different?
  • Feeling overwhelmed — emotionally, mentally, physically, or relationally?
  • Navigating a transition and wondering what comes next?
  • Living with chronic stress or pain that has affected more than just your body?
  • Wrestling with faith, meaning, or what can feel like a dark night of the soul?
  • Knowing you want something to change, but not quite knowing how to move forward?

    There are reasons we get stuck.

    Sometimes the very patterns that helped us cope, protect ourselves, or make it through difficult experiences eventually become the patterns that keep us from living as freely and fully as we want to.

    You don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. Sometimes understanding what is happening inside of us is where movement begins.

    Ready for something to begin shifting?

    Your journey toward greater clarity, connection, and freedom can begin right where you are.

    I know what it is like to spend years cycling through questions such as, What should I do? Why can’t I stop thinking about this? Why is this so hard? Why am I still here?

    Sometimes it begins by creating enough safety, space, and understanding for a new way forward to become possible.

    You don’t have to figure out the way forward alone.

    ~ Where there is room to breathe, movement becomes possible. ~

    Imagine six months from now… what might feel different?

    〉Greater freedom from rumination, fear, and the need to continually brace and self-protect

    〉More trust in your own inner wisdom, needs, and capacity

    〉A growing sense of spaciousness — more room to breathe, feel, and be present in your life

    〉Greater capacity for connection, creativity, delight, and new experiences

    〉More freedom to make choices from who you are rather than from old survival patterns

    〉A deeper sense of coming home to yourself — and moving forward from there

    Healing isn’t about fixing who you are.

    It’s about creating the safety and space needed to reconnect with your true self—the YOU that’s always been there—and move forward from there.

    01

    HEAL

    Begin by understanding your inner world with greater curiosity and compassion—what you’ve lived through, what has shaped you, and the patterns you’ve developed or learned along the way. Together, we begin making sense of what keeps you feeling stuck or disconnected so there can be more room for something new.

    02

    GROW

    As you develop greater inner steadiness and space, your capacity grows—to stay connected to yourself, experience emotions without becoming overwhelmed, trust your own wisdom, and respond with greater choice rather than automatically reacting from familiar patterns.

    03

    THRIVE

    From there, more of life becomes available. There is greater room for connection, creativity, delight, purpose, and new experiences—and greater freedom to live from who you are rather than being defined by what you’ve lived through.

    6-Month Individual Support Container

    A steady, relational space for deeper integration and lasting change

    This container is for people who know they don’t just need insight — they need continuity, connection, and support over time.

    Over six months, we move at the pace your nervous system can trust, creating space to listen, integrate, and gently shift long-standing patterns that formed for good reason.

    Rather than following a rigid curriculum, our work is shaped by how you show up — week by week, season by season — with guidance and support that adapts as you do.

    More Details

    What This Work Is Like

    This is not fast, corrective, or outcome-driven work.

    It’s a relational container where we:

    • Track nervous system responses

    • Work with protective patterns rather than against them

    • Build capacity instead of pushing for change

    • Return to safety again and again

    Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed. Your body and inner world set the pace.

    Modalities & Approach

    • IFS-informed parts work

    • Somatic awareness

    • Polyvagal & window-of-tolerance principles

    • Enneagram insights

    • Mindfulness & gentle reflection

    • Consent and responsiveness guide the work

    What’s Included

    • One initial orientation/attunement session

    • Twelve 60-minute biweekly 1:1 sessions

    • Ongoing integration support via text/email between sessions, as needed

    • Optional reflective prompts or practices, offered — never assigned

    • Flexibility to adjust session length or focus as your needs evolve

    This container allows deeper trust, safety, and coherence to form — especially when there has been long-standing emotional, relational, or spiritual wounding.

    Pricing Options

    • Pay in full: $1,800

    • Monthly: 6 payments of $300

    Choosing a container gives you continuity, deeper integration, and the option to pace your sessions without thinking about scheduling or payments each time. Many clients find this approach supports long-term nervous-system regulation and relational growth.

    Healing doesn’t move on a calendar. If it feels supportive, there is space to continue beyond the initial six months — either by renewing the container or transitioning to pay-as-you-go sessions.

    1:1 Individual Trauma-Informed Sessions

    Gentle, relational spaces designed to support your nervous system

    Rather than following a fixed formula, we slow down and meet what’s present — emotionally, relationally, and in the body — so change can happen from a place of safety, not pressure.

    More Details

    What These Sessions Are Like

    • Grounded in nervous-system awareness

    • Shaped by what you’re carrying right now

    • Focused on listening rather than fixing

    Instead of trying to “fix” or override your experience, we listen for what parts of you need focused care and attention, protection, or movement — at a pace your system can trust.

    Nothing is forced. Everything is invitational. Consent and responsiveness guide the work.

    Modalities & Approach

    • IFS-informed parts work

    • Somatic awareness

    • Polyvagal & window-of-tolerance principles

    • Enneagram insights

    • Mindfulness & gentle reflection

    • Consent and responsiveness guide the work

    Between-Session Support

    For clients who continue over time, brief check-ins via text or email may be available when helpful — especially for integration, reflection, or orienting back to steadiness between sessions.

    This support is not crisis care or real-time therapy, but a relational touchpoint many clients find grounding as part of ongoing work.

    Session Options

    • 90-Minute Session (Most clients choose this)
      A spacious, unhurried container that allows time to settle, explore, and integrate without rushing. Especially supportive for deeper emotional, relational, or somatic work.
      $165

    • 60-Minute Session
      A supportive, focused session for checking in, working with a specific theme, and closing with care.
      $140

    We can begin with either option and adjust over time based on what feels most supportive for your nervous system and season of life.

    Sometimes clients start here and later transition into a longer container for continuity and deeper integration.

    I know it’s not that simple

    Knowing you want something to change and knowing how to move forward are two different things.

    Sometimes the patterns that leave us feeling stuck or keep us from moving forward aren’t signs that we’re failing. They are ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves, cope, survive, or make sense of what we’ve lived through.

    And insight alone doesn’t always change them.

    Sometimes we need a safe place to slow down, listen to what’s happening inside, and discover what becomes possible when we no longer have to carry it all alone.

    You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.

    We can start right where you are.

    Sarah - Wife, Mom, Ministry Leader
    {"Heather creates a sense of safety. I knew I could come just as I am—with all my emotions, life experiences, and varying degrees of trauma. Working with Heather helped me process my feelings, see the bigger picture, and begin using my experiences for growth."

    {"One of the most refreshing things about working with Heather was that she wasn't afraid to share parts of her own healing journey. Her 'me too' approach helped me feel deeply understood and validated rather than alone. She brings not only professional expertise, but genuine life experience to her work."

    HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

    STEP ONE

    Book Your Free Call

    In this 40-minute conversation, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, where you’re feeling stuck, and what you’re hoping might begin to shift.

    It’s also a chance for both of us to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

    No pressure. No need to have it all figured out.

    STEP TWO

    We Begin Where You Are

    If we decide to work together, we’ll begin with what is most present for you.

    There isn’t a predetermined formula or timeline. Our work is shaped by your needs, your story, and the pace your nervous system can trust.

    Together, we’ll begin noticing the patterns, protective responses, beliefs, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck — while creating greater safety, awareness, and room for something new.

    STEP THREE

    We Keep Moving Forward

    Healing rarely happens in a straight line.

    As our work unfolds, we’ll continue noticing what is changing, what still needs attention, and what support makes sense for the season you’re in.

    The goal isn’t to become dependent on coaching.

    It’s to help you develop greater trust in yourself, greater capacity to meet what life brings, and greater freedom to inhabit your own life and move forward.

    More Ways to Work Together

    Individual coaching is just one way we can work together. I also offer support for relationships, families, groups, and teams, as well as speaking, workshops, retreats, and podcast conversations. 

    Explore the options to find what best fits what you’re looking for.

    Group Coaching

    There’s something powerful about doing this work in community. While individual coaching offers space to focus deeply on your own story, groups allow us to experience something different: the reminder that we aren’t alone.

    Created To Move groups offer supportive, trauma-informed spaces where safety, connection, and curiosity are intentionally cultivated as we explore themes such as healing, identity, emotional and relational health, nervous-system awareness, and post-traumatic growth alongside others walking their own journeys.

    Many groups are co-facilitated and built around a particular book, framework, or shared area of growth.

    Explore current and upcoming groups →

    Couples & Relationships

    Relationships can bring some of our deepest patterns to the surface. We each bring our own histories, protective responses, needs, and ways of making sense of the world — and sometimes those differences can leave us feeling disconnected or misunderstood.

    Coaching can create space to slow those patterns down and become curious about what’s happening beneath them. Using tools such as the Enneagram, parts work, and trauma-informed relational practices, we can explore how each person experiences the relationship and develop greater awareness of the dynamics between you.

    The goal isn’t to determine who is right or wrong. It’s to help you better understand yourselves and one another, strengthen communication, and create greater capacity for connection.

    For couples or relationship coaching, let’s connect to talk about what you’re looking for and whether coaching would be a good fit.

    Families

    Family relationships can bring out some of our deepest patterns. We each bring our own personalities, experiences, needs, and ways of responding — often shaped by the families we grew up in.

    Family coaching creates space to better understand those dynamics and to become more curious about what may be happening beneath the surface. Using tools such as the Enneagram and other relational frameworks, we can explore how each person experiences the family system and how those differences affect connection and communication.

    The goal isn’t to create a perfect family. It’s to cultivate greater understanding, healthier communication, and more room for each person to be known and heard.

    For family coaching inquiries, let’s connect to talk about what you’re looking for and whether coaching would be a good fit.

    Groups & Teams

    Every group has its own dynamics. Different personalities, communication styles, strengths, motivations, and ways of responding can create incredible synergy — and sometimes misunderstanding or tension.

    Coaching for groups and teams creates an opportunity to better understand both ourselves and one another. Using tools such as the Enneagram and other relational frameworks, we can explore what each person brings to the group, how those differences affect the way you work together, and where new possibilities for connection and collaboration might emerge.

    Whether you’re a workplace team, ministry, leadership group, or community organization, the experience can be tailored to the needs and goals of your particular group.

    The goal is greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, healthier communication, and a team that can work together with greater understanding and intention.

    Workshops and team experiences can be customized in length and format, with individual Enneagram typing interviews available when appropriate.

    Have a group or team in mind? Let’s connect and talk about what you’re looking for.

    Speaking, Workshops & Retreats

    Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we have space to step outside our usual rhythms, become curious, and explore something together.

    I offer speaking engagements, interactive workshops, and retreat experiences designed around themes of identity, healing, emotional and relational health, the Enneagram, nervous-system awareness, post-traumatic growth, and what it means to move from simply surviving toward becoming more fully alive.

    Each experience can be tailored to the needs of your audience — from a single keynote or workshop to a half-day, full-day, or multi-day experience incorporating teaching, reflection, conversation, and experiential practices.

    My hope is to create experiences that don’t simply offer more information, but invite people to encounter themselves differently — and carry something meaningful with them when they leave.

    Planning an event? Let’s connect and explore what might serve your audience well.

    Podcasts & Interviews

    I love meaningful conversations — especially the kind that make room for curiosity, honesty, and the complexity of being human.

    I’m available for podcast interviews and conversations exploring topics such as identity, healing, trauma and post-traumatic growth, relationships, the Enneagram, parts work, nervous-system awareness, faith, and what it means to rediscover ourselves and move forward with greater freedom and presence.

    I especially enjoy conversations that bring psychology, lived experience, and faith into dialogue — without reducing complex experiences to simple answers.

    Have a podcast, interview, or conversation in mind? Let’s connect.

    Have something in mind that doesn’t quite fit one of the options above?

    I’d love to hear what you’re looking for and explore whether Created To Move might be a good fit.
