Through Bright Eyes, I help clients reconnect with their bodies' wisdom and inherent dignity while building practices that support long-term change and growth.​

I am a somatic practitioner with a master's degree in public health. After 11+ years in public service, I now work full-time as an organizational consultant and somatic coach.

I offer somatic and anti-racist coaching, ritual, personalized planning to navigate life's big changes, and customized and facilitation services for teams and organizations.

Good Gossip

  • “Heather helps people solve problems with the skills they already have, and identifies what skills might help them in the future. She gave me the structural support I needed when I couldn’t see rhyme or reason. I’ve gotten so many life skills working with Heather. She gives people tools to keep doing the work, and helps them get to the next level once they get a base practice. My authentic belief that she is dedicated to my success and gets joy out of me succeeding. The way she built trust allowed me to see parts of the problem I wasn’t willing or able to look at so that I could address the problem in ways that were truly sustainable.”

  • “Our work continues to move through my body on a daily basis. More and more, month by month, I’m able to take my learnings and unlearnings guided by you into action in the most important areas of my life. Our work together is a living, moving, breathing ecosystem and I cannot thank you enough!”

    Melissa S (she/her) | Engaged in Anti-Racist Coaching

  • “Heather and I had a couple coaching sessions to help uncover any unconscious biases that might be lingering in my subconscious. It was helpful and very informative. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to uplevel their work in diversity, equity and inclusion. Her insights were valuable and her knowledge on the topic went deep. She also provided a ton of resources for me to follow-up on outside of our conversations.”

  • “Heather helped me figure out what taking better care of myself meant. She reminded me of the wisdom and importance of my body in a world where we’re often reduced to brains on sticks. She crafted questions so I could better consider different forms of care and solidify my desires. She guided me to center the importance of community and having a team on my side. I came out of our sessions knowing what and who I was looking for, how I wanted my care team to operate, where to begin, and where I could grow and explore and deepen. The care providers I’ve since found and chosen have made me feel cared for and listened to, which gives me space and courage to drive toward better health.”

  • “Heather is full of extraordinary joy and grounded planning. During the Summer of 2021, I transitioned from my home of 20 years in Eugene, OR, to a new job in Newark, NJ. I found the process of moving my life to New Jersey nearly unmanageable. Heather Heater of (Consulting company name) worked with me to organize the steps of the process as well as set goals to imagine my life so far away from friends and family. Heather met with me to understand my 5-year plan. She then created a 6-step action plan, with each step including tailored SMART goals and detailed timelines. From my time with Heather, my stress level became manageable. She brought empathy, humor, and her whole heart to help me reframe a stressful series of unknowns as an adventure. I am wildly unable to describe how important Heather's accessible and supportive guidance was to this move.”

  • "Wanted to just tell you how meaningful and impactful that conversation was with you yesterday. It really brought me into a very deep place within myself, and I was able to begin to look at some layers I haven’t been able to access within myself. Thank you so much… I can feel a lot of potential for working with you in this way, and I really appreciate your skill, knowledge, and kindness. The somatic approach has been calling my name for a long time, and it feels really right to be dipping a toe into it, with you in your beautiful garden 🥹 thank you."
