About Heidi

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the personal nature of the Universe. This became especially true during one of the most difficult seasons of my life—when my beloved but complicated father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and I was also navigating a painful divorce. As my world unraveled, moments of unexpected grace began to appear—quiet messages of hope and comfort that offered reassurance and helped me keep going.

These experiences became a wellspring of wisdom and led me to pursue a Master of Divinity so I could companion others through their own moments of heartbreak and transition. For nearly 20 years, I served as an end-of-life chaplain at UNC Hospitals, offering emotional and spiritual support to people facing serious illness, loss, and life’s most tender transitions. I also created the hospital’s first Adult Bereavement Support Service, providing grief education, support groups, and compassionate follow-up care.

My journey is shaped by both the stories I’ve witnessed, and by my own experiences of loss and awakening. I know how important it is to have a safe, nurturing, and confidential space where you can find your way forward—at your own pace. The wisdom I’ve gained personally and professionally is woven into everything I offer: retreats, workshops, writing circles, and one-on-one coaching.

I also officiate joyful weddings and meaningful memorials—honoring the full cycle of life. Creativity and intuition are at the heart of my work and these ceremonies grew naturally from my chaplaincy days. They reflect my deep commitment to holding space for all the moments that matter most.

In all that I do, I offer sacred space for deep listening, gentle guidance, and steady support. I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to each encounter and serve as a bridge—connecting people with their inner wisdom, with one another, and with the resources that help them thrive.

Side by side, we’ll explore what’s possible, discover what’s essential, and create space for healing, meaning, and growth.

You are not alone. Let’s take this next step together.
