Hi, I’m Heather Vaughan-Southard.
Informed by a life in professional dance and all tiers of education, the core of my work is about alleviating suffering and learning to thrive.
I see myself as a representative of the body. I teach educators and mental health professionals how to embed movement into their work, moving toward social-emotional connection. I teach individual clients to work with the wisdom their bodies hold as they move through transitions in life and relationships.
I know what it is to experience loss, pain, and discombobulation. To parent, partner, and still show up as a professional. I know what it is to disconnect from my body to return to full embodiment. Whether your work is personal or professional, I can help you. Let's collaborate on your improved experience.
