Who is Heather?
I was educated in Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa, where I developed a foundation in understanding health, communication, and human behaviour. Over more than 25 years in healthcare and community leadership, I have worked with people in vulnerable and deeply personal circumstances, always prioritizing dignity, respect, and safety.
My professional path has been wide-ranging. I have:
- Managed medical clinics
- Managed Long Term Care facilities
- Served as a coroner during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Supported unhoused individuals
- Worked in funeral services
- Advocated for people with disabilities
Across all of these roles, I learned how deeply people long for connection, and how often systems and circumstances fail to support it.
Now I bring that same ethic into my work as a sex and intimacy coach. My approach is conversation-based and strictly no-touch, grounded in professionalism, compassion, and accessibility. I believe intimacy coaching should be inclusive and attainable, not intimidating or out of reach. That is why I offer sliding scale options and keep my services transparent and approachable.
As a queer and neurodivergent woman practicing ethical non-monogamy, I know what it is like to navigate intimacy outside the traditional box. My lived experience, combined with strong emotional intelligence, helps me create an inclusive coaching space that is non-judgmental and grounded in real life rather than ideals.
Clients describe my style as warm, straightforward, and practical (and sometimes blunt). Coaching is an active process. The more you put in, the more you will get out. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to make meaningful changes.
When I am not working with clients, I am a curious reader, relentless researcher, and unapologetic explorer of Wikipedia rabbit holes. I love following ideas wherever they lead, and that same curiosity shapes the way I approach coaching.
If you are ready to explore how intimacy coaching could help you, I would love to start that conversation.
