“Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths." ~ Rumi

Hi there, I’m Heather and this is my story (a short version) ….

On my journey so far, I’ve been a journalist, a writer and an editor; a quantum healer, a soul coach and energy teacher; a psychic reader, and a past life guide; and at times an Earth keeper, clearing the land of dense energetic imprints.

I’m also the mother of two amazing sons, a role that has been the most profound teacher on the path of heart.

My interest in the healing arts and spiritual awakening was activated at the age of 21 when I was involved in a serious car accident and had a profound out-of-body (some might call it a near-death) experience. This life-changing event catapulted me into a healing crisis. It was a major initiation, which led me on a winding path to answer the call to become a healer and spiritual teacher, and assist others on their journeys of awakening and transformation.

I’ve been working with energy in one way or another since the Nineties, and since 2009, have run my own energy healing practice in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2018, I started working online with clients around the world and to date, have worked with people from 36 countries. It’s been an amazing adventure and privilege to meet so many beautiful souls and experience a global community of like-hearted beings.

At the beginning of 2022, the Emerald Wisdom School opened it’s doors and my focus shifted from healing to teaching to offer support, guidance and energy tools for your soul-aligned growth and light body evolution.

I look forward to being of service!

Heather 🤍


The story of the Emerald Wisdom School & how it came into being

Many years ago, the name Emerald Wisdom School was given to me in a soul vision channeled by Dreaming Wolf. It is a sacred name – and I was told that it was my task to make it manifest. At the time, I had no idea what this meant. “Don’t worry,” said Dreaming Wolf. “It will be revealed.” And so it was.

Over the years, the vision took shape through dreams, signs and channeled information, and finally a big push from the Universe to give the Emerald Wisdom School form.

Towards the end of 2020, my guides announced that I was to be “a wayshower to the Fifth Dimension” and join the many lightworkers who are here for this very purpose. I had no idea how I could possibly fulfil this assignment. And then I fell ill and spent close to nine months recovering from the resultant chronic fatigue. During this enforced recovery (gestation) period, the Emerald Wisdom School emerged into form and was formally birthed in January 2022.

In one sense, I am the founder of the Emerald Wisdom School, but it’s more accurate to say that its creation came through me.

Mission and purpose

The Emerald Wisdom School is here to assist with the expansion of heart-based consciousness and to anchor higher frequencies through awakening women. Its highest purpose is to contribute towards accelerating the current shift from third-dimensional to fifth-dimensional consciousness, the vibrational field for our next evolutionary shift. We have the potential to create a higher vibrational reality right here on Earth. The Emerald teachings will assist with the transition, by supporting light body evolution, spiritual expansion and soul alignment.

The Emerald teachings

The multifaceted crystal qualities of the Emerald underpin the emerald teachings. The Emerald is the stone of the heart. Energetically, it connects with the heart chakra, activating the green-light frequency, opening the heart to love and wisdom. Often called the stone of love, it embodies unconditional love and unity consciousness. At a fifth-dimensional level, it also opens the Third Eye - with its flashes of emerald green - opening higher vision, clairvoyance and intuition. It brings inner knowing to the surface, to be worked with consciously. On multiple planes, the Emerald supports conscious growth, reflection, peace and balance.

The Emerald embodies knowledge, wisdom and truth. Known as ‘the stone of the heart’, its unique power is that through each of these qualities, it amplifies the vibration of love, activating heart-based wisdom and unity consciousness.

“The world has a soul, and whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things. I learned that many alchemists realised their personal legends, and wound up discovering the Soul of the World, the Philosopher’s Stone, and the Elixir of Life. But, above all, I learned that these things are all so simple that they could be written on the surface of an emerald.”
