I was searching for a substantial way to help others through music and to make a living at it. Heather helped me to get my own women’s circle going through fantastic repertoire, leadership tips and techniques, mentorship, and business coaching. My first intro night had 32 women. My first circle had 18 registrants!” —Zoey Wren, relationship coach, singer, and energy healer</blockquote> <blockquote>"Heather has developed the most comprehensive song leader training program out there. I was amazed and inspired throughout the 3-month training at how thorough it was and how much time, effort, and devotion she put in to serving aspiring song leaders and holding a safe container for us to step into leadership. Forever grateful!" —Louise</blockquote> <blockquote>"This course was absolutely incredible in every way, Heather's beautiful and inspirational energy and teaching style as well as the website which is beautifully presented and the teaching modules all so well thought out. As well as the amazing teaching, the community of women I am now connected to and felt so supported by makes the joy of the program continue on." —Joanne Gillard</blockquote> <blockquote>“Dear Heather, the most inspiring part of the program for me was how deeply you embody what you do, and what an attuned, conscious and compassionate leader you are. You inspired me to step into my leadership role not only as song circle leader but in other areas of life too. In the last 4 months I went through a deep level of transformation. After leading a couple of song circles in Bali I had the wonderful opportunity from life to lead my first blessing way (with some singing of course.) And I even had a presentation in my daughter’s school to the kids about how we are all interconnected. I would have never done these before. But something has shifted. I feel so empowered and called to action! Also my voice opened up so much to speak up and take the lead. (So powerful, just thinking about it brings tears into my eyes.) I know your training, your magical healing songs and all the energy I’ve put into it had a big part of this transformation. I feel so privileged that you shared your wisdom with me! Thank you so much for pouring all your heart into this program! This program turned out to be exactly what I needed to get a new momentum in my life. :)” —Andrea Farkas</blockquote> <blockquote>“Heather's song leader training has helped me to find my voice! I grew from struggling to even think of a song I could practice teaching, to confidently leading women through a series of songs. Heather created a sweet, safe and supportive environment throughout the program. I’ve learned dozens of beautiful songs and chants, and gained a whole new tribe of amazing women! I’m so excited to share this joy with others.” –Chrissy Thomure</blockquote>
