Welcome to OWellness!
​​
​​I started OWellness to create coaching and integrative therapy services for modern-day life because, let's be honest, we could all use a little help in today's world! We believe modern wellness starts with compassion, not perfection. Our focus is the mind-body connection to support lasting change, deeper breakthroughs, improved resilience, and greater emotional clarity.
​​
There is no shortage of health and wellness information or rationale for making lifestyle changes to prevent chronic health conditions. We are bombarded every day with messages like "get more sleep, get your steps in, cut back on alcohol, eat more protein, etc" but is it working?
​​
Preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity) continue to rise and are impacting younger age groups. We don't need more information, we need guidance to identify negative habit loops and unconscious behaviors designed to avoid and distract us from something deeper. ​And the truth is, most of us are walking around with unprocessed grief, burnout, shame, and fear dressed up as "just how life is."
​
Whether you are trying to make diet and lifestyle adjustments to improve your well-being, feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles you can’t explain — coaching can help you uncover what’s underneath the patterns and reconnect to your real self.
​Find your balance. Learn to flow. Set your rhythm.
About Heather
After 24 years of leading digital transformations—starting back when Google was just getting started—I gained global experiences I never imagined. I’ve had my share of successes and failures, but at what cost? ​My body collapsed under the pressure, triggering autoimmune disease and exhaustion. I couldn’t even be a mediocre version of myself—not as a mom, not as a wife, not as a consultant. In 2018, I started working with an Integrative Doctor and it changed my life. She found so many issues by running labs outside the standard blood tests. We found root causes to many of my health challenges and worked together to rebalance my body. I was fascinated with the power of holistic, mind-body and integrative health practices and began taking steps to lean into this world.
I’ve practiced yoga for over 25 years, and in 2019, I finally decided to take the next step and become a certified yoga teacher. Then… COVID hit—so my timing? Impeccable. 😊
​
With the world on pause, I leaned into my lifelong curiosity and began self-educating on everything—from neural pathways to the gut microbiome and how they connect. Along the way, I earned certifications in Ayurvedic and Functional Nutrition, but I still wasn’t sure how it all fit together or how I would turn this knowledge into a career.
Then, life hit hard. In early 2024, my child became seriously ill, and everything shifted. That was my breaking point. I was done. Done with the corporate grind, done with the relentless pace, done ignoring what truly mattered. Something had to change.
​
At 3 a.m., lying next to my child in a hospital bed at CHOP, I made the decision. I enrolled in a Health & Wellness Coaching program right then and there. It was the moment where everything—my passion for behavioral psychology, wellness, and human transformation—finally clicked.
That’s when my second career truly began—one built on purpose, passion, and helping others navigate change in a way that actually works for them.
