Welcome, I’m Heather Hayward.

Over 35 years ago, I would have never expected to be what I am today, an Immersive Experience Leader.  As a fun-loving creative artist and professional dancer, I was living for the moment, making questionable decisions at times, but all for the sake of having a good time.  My passion, dedication and opportunities as a young dancer had me sure of my profession, life was simple and clear.  Until one day, I severely injured my hip, an injury that I couldn’t recover from.  My career was over and my dreams were crushed, and suddenly, what was once so clear didn’t make sense anymore.

I got quiet, fell apart, and slowly REALLY slowly found parts of myself that still lit me up inside. I followed my heart/intuition knowing deeply I wanted to help others.  I found massage therapy and as it turned out, I was pretty good!

The Next Chapter

I combined my body work with deep meditation, a technique that afforded me a 20-year career with a clientele stock full of some of Hollywood’s biggest names.  I was working a lot and the work was physically demanding, but it was fulfilling.  However, massage eventually took its toll on my hands.  I developed a pain in my thumb that I couldn’t escape from, and letting it recover meant I wasn’t making any money.  With a son in middle school and bills to pay, that wasn’t an option.

I became a Results Coach

I realized that being a soundboard for my clients had become a normal part of my massage practice. Many of my clients looked forward to our sessions for that conversational and advisory aspect.  Following my passion for helping others, I began the three-year transition to becoming a full-time results coach.  Ever since then, I have found my purpose in connecting people with their inner truth and launching them out of their hindering life experiences.

Getting to where I am wasn’t easy for me.  I fell into deep “manholes”, battled anxiety and crippling self-doubt, overcame my insecurities and constant overthinking. I was brought to my knees several times in my life.  But every time, I was redirected to my still small voice within and found a way through.

I am very real, no bull-poop.  I create communities, help people feel their feelings, and connect them to a deep safe place inside where they can go from confusion to clarity.
