Heather Hans
Heather Hans
Healer & Educator

Heather Hans is a healer and educator connected to intuition and spirituality. She is also a trained psychotherapist, intuitive coach, and business woman. She combines this approach to serve women in fulfilling radiant health, exceptional confidence, and extraordinary love. After her MBA, Heather began her career as a CPA at Arthur Andersen and spent the next decade as a tax consultant in public accounting, the insurance industry, and private practice. She also taught courses in business and accounting at two colleges. Alongside her professional path, she became drawn to various forms of healing and wellness in order to improve her life. Her innate nature as a teacher and nurturer, her own life trials and tribulations, and her drive toward health and self-development, paved the way for a career change to one where she could more fully utilize her capacities. She went back to school in her 30s and got her second master’s degree in social work (MSW). During her training, Heather managed a substance abuse prevention program for Boulder Valley School District, and she received her clinical training as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at the Boulder Institute for Psychotherapy and Research. She has also held several youth-centered volunteer positions.

Heather soon discovered that her ultimate calling to reach the world and uplift the loving energy of human kind was beyond the scope of traditional psychotherapy and social work practice. So, she began a business dedicated to the highest form of compassionate healing, combining her professional knowledge, organizational skills, and ethical leadership with her creative vision, spiritual nurturance, sensitivity, wisdom, and intuition. Heather has spent the past 17 years dedicated to holistic health and has been trained by some of the top experts in the areas of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. She offers six and twelve-month transformational packages to assists women in becoming radiant, confident, and magnets for love. Clients who work with Heather are no longer plagued by self-doubt or a need of approval from others. They are aware of and accept all parts of themselves and have a felt sense of being cared for by the Divine. They develop an attitude of gratitude, which continually attracts abundance into their lives. Healthy boundaries affords them a sense of personal power, and they finally know what it is like to receive love, rather than always trying to please others and settle for less than they desire and deserve. In short, Heather’s clients become women of power and influence. For those looking for love, Heather provides mentoring and packages that help clients achieve the passionate, healthy, soulful love relationship that they have always wanted.
