Over more than three decades, Heather has taught at many venues, including Simon Fraser University and Capilano University.

She shares her own healing in her memoir and in November last year, she gave a presentation to an audience of 140 about Trauma and Truth-telling in Memoir: The Risks and Rewards of Revealing Secrets.

Quote: "From meditation and yoga to seven months in India, have spent several decades exploring a variety of spiritual practices. I embrace "eclectic spirituality"; for me, that incorporates concepts and practices from Tibetan Buddhism to pantheism and Taoism. My spiritual mentor from about twenty years ago promoted Oneness, which I still follow. She believes Essence is the powers and unites us.
