Hi, I’m Heather.

Life has been stressful for….oh, I don’t know….the past decade or more?… especially with young kids (iykyk). So much so, that I used to fantasize about running away to live in the woods, away from all the hustle and stress, but I’ve learned that you can choose to live a slower, more peaceful life right where you are. Even in the suburbs.

Now I teach others how to slow down, follow seasonal rhythms, live well, and eat well with modern tools and timeless traditions.
