Heart and Soul Wellness has been born from Heather's own heart and soul.

Heather is a Certified Kinesiologist, a Clinical Exercise Specialist, a Certified COPD Educator and a Certified Diabetes Educator.

She has worked extensively within the field of Cardiac and Pulmonary rehabilitation in a hospital setting and she is certified in Advanced Cardiac Lifesaving.

She specializes in chronic disease management, lifestyle modification and exercise testing, prescription and programming for special populations.

Heather lectures regularly on exercise testing and prescription at Mohawk College. She was a guest speaker at the Better Breathing Conference in 2008, where she addressed family physicians and respirologists about COPD and the importance of exercise, and she speaks annually at National COPD day.

Her passion is to inspire and motivate those living with chronic disease to be as healthy and as active as possible to ensure optimum functioning and quality of life.

 

Heather also has a passion for dance. She started dancing at age two and has never stopped.  Over the past 17 years she has taught  jazz, tap, ballet, modern, musical theatre and ballroom to toddlers through adults, and  choreographed and performed in a variety of venues. 

 

Through Salsa Babies, she is absolutely thrilled to be sharing her love of dance and music with her new son
