Heather has been studying movement since she can remember. Her path
started early in gymnastics, cheerleading, jazz, modern and hip-hop
dance. She also dabbles in ballet, classical Indian, African dance and
tai-chi. She has studied bellydance in Egyptian, Pharonic, Turkish
and American Tribal styles.
Choreography
has been a love and present in Heather’s life for many years,
from shows for mom and dad, to high-school half-times, to a short
independent film, to stage/theatre productions.
Heather’s
path took a side-step from dance to study acting. She has an active
career including many short films, commercials, 2 TV co-starring
roles and a handful of theatre productions.
She
also has a very powerful connection with healing and has been involved
in bodywork since 1998. Heather maintains a private healing practice
in which she utilizes knowledge of massage, Reiki, aromatherapy,
herbology, movement and diet to facilitate optimum health. She encourages
self-healing.
