My Services
One-On-One Adult Coaching
We work together in person or on the phone.
If you’re coming to me with relationship challenges, we decide ahead of time what feels best for each of you. Some people like to meet separately, and some prefer to meet together in order to restore their ability to connect with one another. Whatever works for you is fine by me.

Teen Coaching
As you have already gathered from my bio, I am not a therapist. My work with your teen is about helping him to discover his values, create the mindset for excellence, and stay aware of the consequences of his choices.
I can be that person/coach who your teen might listen too. The teens I work with appreciate my openness in using my own adolescence as an example. I draw from my 29 years of sharing my sober experience with others, and being there for families in crisis.
My aspirations when working with your teens are:
To create a safe and open environment for them to explore "what's up."
To help them learn to structure their time so that their grades soar.
To teach them skills to deal with stress including meditation, visualization, positive self-talk, and more.
To explore exciting goals focusing on their inner strength, vision, and character.
To provide communication skills to preserve challenging relationships.
To support them in making smart decisions when it comes to "partying."
To assist divorced families who need a neutral place to talk.
The bottom line: I want to be a beneficial presence in your child's life. Contact me now with questions or to schedule a coaching session with your teen. You may find answers to your questions on this page.
Coaching The Coach
This is specifically designed for the Coaches/Hypnotherapists who could use a Life Coach of their own.
I have over 4,000 hours behind me as a Life Strategies Coach. I really enjoy supporting other coaches to gain more confidence. I can support you with any of the following goals:
Get clear on who you want to work with and where and how to find them.
Create a schedule and set your prices.
Examine your own story around getting paid for coaching.
Identify any blind spots that keep you from being fully present with your client and getting referrals.
Being less reactive to “difficult” clients who challenge or upset you.
Brainstorm together with both of our toolkits out and be a sounding board.
How to say “No” to draining clients.
Help keep an eye on your own integrity with self-care.
“Authentic power is built step-by-step, choice-by-choice. It cannot be meditated or prayed into being. It must be earned.”

Stillness Coaching
Listen to Your Body...
Do you feel physically tight and tired when you think about doing something you’re obligated to do? Or excited and energized in expectation of an activity that you love?
By learning to be still and listen to your body, you gain access to your core truth. Through a very simple, effective process, you will get in sync with your body and find more peace between your ears. This Stillness Coaching is surprisingly easy once you know how.
Also, it is an ideal practice for those who want to learn to meditate.
This practice can be done one-on-one, and also in a group of no more than six people. Only you know what is going on in your life. The change is in your court.
I look forward to hearing from you soon! Until then, here is a beautiful prayer:
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look to allies in life's battlefield
but to my own strengths.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
but hope for the patience to win my own freedom.
-Prayer of the Bodhisattva
"After a year of working with Heather Hayward, I now have a foolproof strategy for every occasion: do whatever Heather says. She has taught me how to process every situation and emotion known to man, and a few that aren't, in a manner counter to the one I was using before: cope, blow up, break down, rinse, repeat. The main thing I have to contend with now is how to live without constant stress and anxiety. No surprise, she has a strategy for that, too."
-Barbara Hall, Television Writer/Producer
"Heather truly walks on water! In my experience (both personally and professionally), Heather has the rare gift to help someone achieve his or her own 'walk on water.' Her thoughtful, humorous (sometimes side-splitting), and motivating approach has helped me to bring to life a very different side of myself. Having worked for many years as a psychotherapist and having been trained psychoanalytically, I particularly appreciate Heather’s capacity to blend the cognitive and the unconscious processes. To be able to understand the underlying internal forces that do not fuel growth can make the difference between superficial change and sustained success. I feel so fortunate to have worked with Heather! She is such a gift! I owe her so much more than I can express in words. THANK YOU, HEATHER!"
-Caroline Kline, LCSW
"If it's ageless, graceful 'no SECRETS' life coaching you're looking for, Heather Hayward's 'breath of fresh air by the beach' operation is your stop. OK. Word's to describe Heather's process: on-it, professional, direct, engaged, introspective, inter-active, and a bust out. In a few month's weekly hourlong sessions, we're identifying and confronting core concerns that are catapaulting my life towards brilliant SUCCESS, both personally and professionally. Heather guides the whole person with her authentic and articulate reparte. I just can't BELIEVE the speed and the progress. I'm richer in so many ways. I'd recommend Heather Hayward to any good friend who sincerely wants to change for the better, to bloom and to flourish."

"Heather has changed my life. Now, I know that sounds trite, but if you are open and ready for change, she is the tool to get you there. If you need a push and some insight into that inner voice, Heather is the woman to get you to think about what you REALLY want. Her energy and honesty are immeasurable. We had so many laughs and so many breakthroughs, I felt rejuvenated after every conversation. I achieved my dream because Heather helped me to recognize the steps I needed to take. She guided and showed me I needed to pay off my credit card debt FIRST. She helped me to maintain my enthusiasm for my goal through the rough spots. I learned I needed to be centered and nurture all aspects of my life to maintain balance even while going after my dream. I will be indebted to her forever for helping me along my path and I will always have our sessions to look back to when I need a little push. Thank you Heather!"
-Cori T., Event Planner
"When I met Heather I had huge career ambitions but was overwhelmed when it came to getting started. After our first session, I had a clear plan and very specific goals. With sensitivity and humor, she also gave me a much-needed attitude adjustment! Working with Heather, I have become bolder and more positive."
A.McNally, Writer
"I used to be a waiter/bartender for 17 years of my life... I then began a new career for myself and was faced with some challenges. I had the good fortune of working with Heather as my coach thru a career transition... and the process, as well as the results were, and are, incredible. In order to break-thru some personal barriers of mine, I brought to our sessions the most intimate details of myself, and found that Heather listened to me without a personal agenda. Not once, did I ever feel judged. Her coaching was honest, firm, and delivered with deep insight, understanding and best of all... humor. I can't believe it, but Heather actually helped me find humor in the issues I once thought scary and embarrassing. The environment she has created is safe and supportive. As for results, since working with Heather my income has increased by over $20,000 a month, and I am living the life I used to imagine.
