Totem Mountain

We all have totems in our lives.

Totems
hold
special
meaning.

Totems are often seemingly small things that remind us of
what we deeply care about and who we really are at heart.

Heather
Founder + Certified Reiki Healer
at Totem Mountain

Heather learned to transform her hypervigilance & deep sensitivity
into an intuitive understanding of others’ experiences.

Beginning with her own upbringing in a dysfunctional family operating
within the control structures and beliefs of organized religion, Heather was
ultimately confronted with the need to do her own shadow work to heal
herself and protect her own home from old generational patterns.

She explored Reiki, got to know the power of crystals, plants,
sage clearings, tuning forks, and more. As she explored these
modalities of self-work, she found that her greatest
vulnerability as a child—her empathy—
was now her greatest superpower.

Meet Heather

Heather combines listening & coaching with Reiki healing;
a powerful medium even across geographical distances.

She’s able to pick up on things, call attention to them, and help people get to the root
of them. Heather uses her skills in listening, reading people and understanding where
they are energetically to help them navigate illness, injury, stress, and pain—
whether physical or emotional—through energy work.

She knows how to listen: to one’s surroundings, to one’s history, to one’s heart.
Kind, gentle, and empathetic, she channels her own intuition
to help others step into their self-healing power.

Heather is certified in Reiki and experienced with multiple additional
healing modalities, having spent years studying people’s capacity
to heal—starting with her own healing journey.

Heather understands the power of place to set the tone for peace. She and
her family have long studied the concept of totems—animals, objects, or
plants that serve as an emblem or symbol of something greater.

They are often a symbol of a family clan and serve as a reminder of our
roots or ancestry. To Heather, raising and nourishing her family in their
calm twenty-acre homestead has opened new possibilities to transform
old family patterns and define what a healthy home is, to cultivate an
atmosphere of kindness, and create a safe space to connect with self.

Heather’s creative spirit reaches beyond Reiki.

Through painting, jewelry making, and creating beautiful and delicious things
by hand, she expresses the same intuitive energy, mindfulness, and
sense of wonder that define her energy healing practice.

Surrounded by objects, symbols, plants, and animals that bring her
meaning and joy, Heather is able to share her sense of peace
and healing with others, wherever they are.

and coaching with Reiki healing, which is a powerful medium even across geographical distances.

among the most receptive beings when it comes to energy work.

Book a Healing Session

Together, we can all find the highest and most whole version of ourselves.
One break through at a time, one clearing at a time, one healing at a time.

“Talking to Heather made me feel better.
After our one-hour session, I felt a weight lift
and a lightness I hadn’t felt before.”
