Heather Gallagher (she/her)
My trust in myself to navigate any experience and emerge whole makes me feel most present and alive. Knowing that control is an illusion and that the external world will do what it will do regardless of my efforts, desires and goals, I find inner comfort that I will be okay and am worthy, regardless of situational outcomes.
I bring this groundedness and openhandedness into my birth and death work by reminding those I work with that they already contain everything they need. When we listen to our intuition, it becomes our best guide. Most of my work involves walking alongside folks, helping them listen to and trust their inner knowing.
My most meaningful work is being a mother. It is a daily practice of patience, rupture, repair, vulnerability and trust. It's the most transformative experience I've ever had.
