Spaceholding Guidance

A Timeless, Sacred Art  

 

Unlike our ancient families, we live in a world of disconnect. Remember that time when we'd spend hours on the phone, being vulnerable, sharing our hearts and souls?

I miss syncing up to that human voice.

Nervous to call that friend when you're struggling?  Texting your pain in a few short messages just doesn't feel right? Me too.

We are buried under the increasingly heavy weight of today's world - a world that demands more and more of us while taking away the intimate tools that keep us sane.

What happens when a *Lifequake hits and you have no one to call, spending hours alone with no one holding space or simply listening to YOU?

In the sacred space I hold for you, we connect in a safe, unbiased place where you do deep work - work that transmutes your pain into joy and you become part of the *Phoenix Effect.

I am not your 25 year old lifestyle coach, I am at Level 56. With my background and expertise, you can trust that the guidance you receive is based on compassionate listening, intuition and experience tailored to your specific needs.

This is a personalized path to unfucking yourself.

*Lifequake~ a life challenge that you can't shake

*A Phoenix Effect~ when you burn down the pain of your Lifequake and and rise again reborn stronger, smarter and more compassionate.

Let's Begin

With Love, 

 

“An inspiration…”

Heather has a rare ability to meaningfully connect with anyone she meets, and I believe that has everything to do with how very soulful, approachable, and human she is. If I had to name just one of her superpowers, it would be "relatable vulnerability" — a quality that underlines her remarkable self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Heather has a gift for creating safe and nurturing spaces

~MJ Kinney, Los Angeles, CA. Founder and Principal Consultant at FareScience

“A phenomenal guide...”

I love the energy that she brings to our calls as she is attentive, respectful, inquisitive, intuitive, and graceful when exploring the unknown with you. She helps you discover & strengthen your own inner voice underneath all the egoic noise by creating a safe space for you to unfold in your own way. Within the safety that she creates, I feel like I can allow my hard exterior to melt away, feel seen, and allow my true self to come through. After every call that I've had with Heather, I find myself feeling more confident, clear, and energized. We can't see what we don't know, and Heather is a fantastic guide to help light the way to self-discovery.

~Lauren Pucci, Newport Beach, CA.  Soul-preneur Guide and Writer

“She is my rock...”

My time spent with Heather is always safe, healing and empowering. No matter what the challenge is, Heather facilitates clarity and confidence.  She does this with compassion, honesty, probing questions, genuine care and kindness.  Her style allows me to delve deeper into my true self, find my energy, honor it and in turn, lead myself. Everything she told me would happen, happened. In working with Heather, I have begun to trust and listen to my own voice and have started to creating lasting changes in order to lead the life I truly want.

Wouldn't it be great if you could ...

Release

Do you know how to catch a monkey?

You put out a jar filled with nuts in the yard.

She grabs the nuts inside the jar and won't release the nuts and her hand is stuck. 

Her only escape is letting of her grip. Her only way to her freedom is to release.

What is holding you against your will?

Renew

Aligning our nervous system with our authentic truth creates the space and energy for transformation.

Space holding creates a vacuum for creative expression. You use your voice to find your voice, your true self again.

In the absence of the noise and pain, the seeds of creativity you sow flourish in the freshly tilled soil.

Rise Again

Transformation is shapeshifting.

You become a living example of the Phoenix Effect; when reclaiming your inner strength becomes the catalyst for change. 

This journey doesn't come easily or with half-hearted efforts - that's a reason we tend to stay stuck.

The payoff of finding the courage to discover what holds you back: you become the architect of your Rising.

Have We Met?

Hello, I am Heather Appert 

For me AWE comes from connection, creating and nature. For me PASSION lies in acts of service. These are two of the biggest things that make me want to live big.

As the oldest of 10 children with Midwestern roots, my journey has been rich—from living in the German Alps to exploring the Sonoran Desert to 14 different addresses in my life. Motherhood blessed me with two daughters who still bring me to my knees with love.

My 40s brought my biggest Phoenix Rising, sparking my mission to help other women heal faster than I did. Through divorce, career shifts, and heartbreak, I discovered my path to healing—and yours.

My gritty, dynamic nature was shaped by a unique childhood that fostered resilience and problem-solving. When  *lifequakes hit, I found healing through yoga (teaching since 40), daily meditation (teaching since 45), and the guidance of a remarkable healer.

I do not hold multiple PhD's but I am an expert in overcoming deep wounds, *lifequackes and limiting beliefs.

Connecting and listening, using its sacred power to heal, that is my true passion.

And now, I share these powerful tools for inner healing with others. No one needs to spend years finding their way like I did.

I rekindled my love affair with life—and I'm here to help you reignite yours.

*Lifequake~ a life challenge that you can't shake 

"Your life does not get better by chance; it gets better by change."

~ Jim Rohn
Welcome

I'm so glad
that you're here

Because I see you.

 

Simply, I want the same freedoms I experienced from my transformations for you. 

When you come on board as my client you release hardened, stuck stories

making room to create joy again.

That tingle you felt as a kid, that thrill of excitement when you knew the world was your oyster,

that is yours to reclaim.

I know you are out there, sometimes rudderless, roaming lost seas, looking for your North Star.

I owned that boat.

What I offer helps you find your lost compass.

Being here means that you are being drawn to the right places in your search to unfuck yourself.

Good for you for taking control of your healing. The cost of not doesn't just hurt your wallet.

Our first call will be like that long exhale after you have been holding your breath for far too long.

Having someone to talk to that has walked the path of a burned out, high performing individual hit by  a Lifequake is key to deep connection. 

I am so grateful and appreciative for  the interest. I truly look forward to connecting with you.

Have You Ever Wondered...

What it would feel like when someone asks how you're doing and you say, 'WONDERFUL' and mean it?

What happens when our biggest inner wounds are found and released?

If that road to releasing inner pain is easier than living in a hellscape where you stuff it down?

How freeing life could be when you learn how to quiet your monkey brain?

If there was someone out there that could just listen to you unburden yourself? (There is, I am here) 

If Earth is our classroom? That we're here to master life's challenges, ones we've chosen for ourselves, learning most profoundly from our hardest falls.

Just Imagine the Possibilities

When you stop making excuses, when stop burying your head in the sand, and finally stand up to your inner limitations and say 'fuck it, I need help'.

A world where you learn the way of deep release, so you can renew the view and rise again. A place where you find peace in the chaos, where you find  tranquility and presence in moments of stillness.

When you weep tears of joy for that stunning sunset without thinking once of the 700 things you could be doing instead.

A life where you now have a blueprint to conquering new triggers.

*A life that prioritizes love for simple things:

*A co-worker's kindness

*A child telling their tale

*An ordinary dinner

*A long embrace

*A night sky

*Yourself

This is not a pipe dream.

This is the way we are meant to live.

Get Started

“She made me feel seen…”

I had the privilege of working with Heather in an incubator program which led to deeply transformative one-on-one sessions. I was struggling with past trauma and social anxiety, and Heather’s personalized visualization exercises helped me release layers of pain and shame. Her warm, welcoming nature made me feel truly seen and heard, and I’m so grateful for taking that chance. If you're looking to open your heart and free yourself from emotional bondage, Heather’s wisdom is truly awakening. I can’t recommend her enough. 

 

 

~Jessica, Arizona. Single Mom, Amazing Heart, Empath

“She nurtures growth...”

During a challenging time of my life, she was an empathetic, steadfast listener while offering support and perspectives that were affirming and energizing.

3 Very Important Things to Discover

#1

The Only Constant in Life Is Change- Heraclitus

 

You'll discover that steering your life with a white-knuckled grip, in an attempt to hold yourself back from change, is a futile energy drain.

You'll understand the irony: while you were working so hard to protect your inner wounds from change, they were actually creating chaos in and around you.

 


#2

The Wound is a place where light enters you-Rumi 

 

Think seek and rescue.

You wear your intuition like a headlamp.

Using your voice and gentle cues from me, we guide your attention inward, searching for what keeps you stuck - those hard past experiences that are blocking your energy.


#3

Don't be there, be here- Me

 

You have my full presence at all times.

No keys tapping or downcast eyes while I log clinical notes.

Our energetic connection is powerful and sacred, and I treat it as such. No agenda other than connecting, listening, and witnessing - allowing you to speak honestly, without judgment.

What you may not know...

 

  • You are not broken
  • 1 out of 4 people globally report being lonely
  • Mental health is an acute problem that needs real time help
  • You don't need to wait 6-14 months for a next available therapist 
  • Loneliness is bad for your health. Over 300,000 subjects proved loneliness has the same side effects as smoking and drinking 
  • Trauma is an internal injury, leaving an energetic scar and can be defined as not being seen or heard. When someone holds a safe space for you, you are seen and heard, and so are your inner wounds
  • Heart energy exchanges have been measured between people up to 5 feet apart~ beautiful 
  • When we hold space we exchange heart energy that sparks your *Phoenix Effect

 

*A Phoenix Effect happens when you burn down the pain of your Lifequake and and rise again reborn stronger, smarter and more compassionate. 

 

 

With Love,  

“Heather truly has a gift...”

I have been very stressed at work and feeling guilty that my home life balance was non-existent. I question my priorities in life. Heather is an amazing listener and provided a safe place for me to talk and vent and then, in return, listen to her. She provided guidance, relaxation techniques and asked pointed questions that encouraged me to focus on what was actually important in my life. I feel more confident and less stressed after sessions with Heather, she is amazing!  Heather truly has a gift and takes the time to listen and make suggestions, offer up tools in session and afterward to help you on your journey. You’ll love her!

What's Included

Space Holding

I provide an intimate connection for magnetic, dynamic humans where real, honest exploration happens.

We meet virtually for 60-90 minutes per session. This 'container' is a safe, unbiased space where you share what is on your mind. It evolves from there. 

Call Schedule

Our virtual calls are scheduled in advance so we can count on a regular cadence. 

Of course, life throws curve balls and I want to be sensitive to the unforeseen, so exceptions are made.

Helpful Resources

Over the years I have accumulated many resources that I am happy to share. We can talk the benefits of my role as a yoga buddy, meditation buddy or cooking with mindfulness buddy.
