Hi, I’m Heather.

I originally went to school to study how societies around the world are formed through family and national culture, generational beliefs, traumas, and traditions, food accessibility and nourishment, and the physical and spiritual impact of humanity through religion. These topics continue to fascinate, as they represent the foundation of who we are as a people in this world, and how we choose to carry ourselves and each other through this massively shifting time.

Since technology was booming during my college years, I also studied coding and computer applications, which is what brought me to the Bay Area in California, where I continue to thrive… though on a very different path.

Welcome to Discovering Hara

Almost 15 years ago—in the basement of my Catholic Church—I discovered the ancient practice of Qigong that opened my mind, body, and heart at a time when I felt lost and completely not myself. I knew it was an answer to a call for help and guidance.

I now teach qigong (“chee-gong”) and yoga. I hold multiple certifications that support holistic health and healing, including in massage therapy, health coaching, Spinal Flow Technique®, and wellness energy clearing with enzyme therapy for sensitivities.

All of these modalities help the body to heal itself naturally, ease inflammation, and nourish the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms. This is energy work for the mind, body, and soul.

My passion is to help your body release held traumas, blockages, and disharmonies in the physical, chemical, and emotional layers of your being so that you may live an ease-filled life, free to abundantly shine the light you were created to bring into this world, in this time.

The time to feel peace, joy, and ease in your life is now. Welcome.
