Speaker
I offer inspiring and informative presentations and workshops for progressive small to mid-size companies, organizations, schools and community groups on topics of work-life balance, nutrition, natural weight loss and more.
These seminars are perfect for health fairs, lunch-n-learns, special events and meetings.
My speaking style is informative, engaging and dynamic. I enjoy connecting with audiences in a meaningful and authentic way, and I bring humor and warmth to everything I do.
“Heather is super knowledgeable, trust-worthy and one of the most dynamic wellness pros I’ve met. If you need a presenter at your next event, someone to help your staff with work-balance issues or a personal champion to help you reach your own ‘awesome life goals’ – she’s your gal.” - Karin Witzig Rozell, Founder, The Wellness Professional Network
I am available for in-person presentations in the New York City tri-state area and by convenient teleconference for audiences everywhere. If you are outside these areas and interested in booking an in-person presentation, workshop or health fair please contact me to discuss.
