In my experience, the plants and trees are teachers and wisdom keepers, sharing wisdom, guidance, and healing with the whole planet, including us. They are here on our planet in service to the whole. When we care for the whole, each individual is also cared for. They are expansively connected with the Earth, as well as being specifically connected with us. In my experience, they are living from a place of possibility and creativity, responding to changes and challenges through greater growth and expansion. They reach out to connect with us and with other beings in our changing world, in response to growing gaps in connection, to create bridges of communication so that we may continue to grow and heal, in service of life on our planet. They live in prosperity, trust, and natural abundance, teaching us all how to live from this place. Through our breath and our whole being, we are connected with them. Because they know us so well and are also expansively connected with all of life, they are powerful life coaches for us human beings. Through breathing with them, asking them questions, listening, and giving gratitude, we may connect with them and receive from them. I am a translator between you and all of life, including within yourself and your truth and dreams, the ocean, and the plants and trees, facilitating connection through simple practices, so that you may receive healing, wisdom, and guidance. I am a healer, hollow bone, and life coach, here to stand for you in your greatness and in living from a place of possibility, seeing abundance. If you are wanting to connect within or with the plants, trees, ocean, or shamanic guides, I can facilitate connection and help you formulate the questions to ask as directed by your intention. From cultivating powerful relationship with ourselves, this is reflected back to us in all of life around us.
An example of a simple breathing practice for connecting with the plants and trees is to go to a tree to whom you feel drawn. Place your hand on the tree. Breathe 7 breaths naturally with the tree, experiencing yourself exchanging breath with the tree. You may feel into your heart and notice sensations in your body. Ask a question of the tree. Powerful questions to ask are:
“Who Am I?” – This is a powerful question to ask for receiving wisdom and guidance regarding who we are most expansively, as connected with all of life, and most preciously and uniquely, regarding the specific gifts bestowed upon us and how we are to share those with the world.
“What Have You For Me?” – This is a powerful question to ask to receive healing and wisdom and guidance regarding challenges we are experiencing in life, or to receive gifts from the plants and trees.
Song From the Trees is a name I received from the trees. Called by the plants and trees, I formally began studying and practicing wise woman healing ways in September of 2012. In 2022, I completed the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Shamanic Healing Online Training Program. Throughout my work with them, the plants and trees have been telling me that I am a healer. May I be a hollow bone and conduit, in service to the web of life. If you like, you can view an interview I had with EagleSong Gardener at https://vimeo.com/652145054/aac4cb3121.

Testimonials
“Heather is my esteemed colleague and trusted friend. Her intuitive abilities are exceptional, and her healing power is magnificent. One of the most powerful healing experiences I’ve ever had was delivered to me by Heather. I highly recommend her, and her services.” ~ Robbie, Shamanic Practitioner
“Heather has a genuine gift and a profound sensitivity to the plant realm. Her work brought me a step further to explore my relationship with plant guidance and receive fully the messages that transpired from our session together. The breathing practice with The Oregon grape and the Cedar tree transported me into a world of unity and connected my heart with the deep wisdom from mother nature. I am in awe and grateful for receiving the magic in these teachings. Here is a song dedicated to my dad that was inspired by my meditation with the Cedar tree:

Thank you Heather!”
~Ines Andrade-Maricle, Vibrational Healer
“Being guided by Heather through the contemplation of a tree’s healing powers was like a vacation from every day tasks and a reverence to the natural world that we are a part of, gratitude!”
~Serge Gubelman (Manna Presence)
“Heather is in beautiful connection with the spirits of the trees and nature. She warmly and caringly offers out a bridge of connection, to assist in sensing the wisdom and power that nature has to share – for our healing and for our bliss.”
~Holly
“I knew I was in the right place when I sat down at Heather’s kitchen table for a cup of her intuitively guided tea. I immediately felt grounded and spacious, open to what was about to transpire. She guided me outside to a sweet forested park. There was a tall and benevolent red oak tree. I felt and communed with the tree’s essence and deep resounding song. I was startled out of my reverie by the trickster of crow’s cackling. Heather’s delightful presence is refreshing in today’s overly busy world. She holds space for transformation and I have learned much about myself from her sacred intuitive plant readings.”
~Scott
Regarding the girls’ circle, from participants and parents:
“It was a cool experience. The reading and discussion of the stories was my favorite part.”
~Chiara F.
“Talking to the plants was fun!”
~Gianna F.
“I am extremely grateful that my girls have been able to participate in this circle. I know it has helped them during this formative transitional time in their development. Heather is the best kind of teacher and guide–she is a beautiful, gentle soul with a lot of depth to share, as well as profound respect for all living things. You know that she really *sees* each of the girls. Each time I pick my daughters up after circle, they exude a sense of calm, spaciousness and contentment. To me, that is the most profound testimonial of all to what they are learning and experiencing in the circles.”
