My Journey from Shadow to Light

Hello, I'm Heather Rieken, a traveler from the depths of self-sacrifice to the peaks of self-discovery. My life was a testament to serving others in healthcare, driven by a quest for selflessness and worthiness. Yet, this path led me to a place where I lost touch with my own essence—living mechanically, estranged from my emotions and body. This disconnection manifested as a cascade of mysterious health issues, ones that eluded diagnosis and understanding.

In my search for answers, I encountered disbelief and dismissal from the very community I belonged to. Labels like anxiety, depression, and more were thrust upon me, pushing me toward psychiatric care and leaving me to question my sanity! This journey through the medical maze left me feeling invalidated, defeated, and utterly alone, with a gnawing fear of missing out on life's precious moments with my family.

Faced with this dire situation, I decided my story wouldn’t be written by illness. Despite my faith in the medical field, it became clear that my healing lay beyond its current reach. I embarked on a journey of self-healing, a quest to meet myself in places where others couldn't guide me. Embracing my shadow was not just a step but the leap needed to journey back to wholeness.

Now, standing on the other side, I am nearly fully rejuvenated and more alive than ever! The road was not easy, and it required untold bravery to confront and integrate the parts of me I had long ignored. My extensive journey, once fraught with obstacles, has now become a beacon of hope for others.

Through my one-on-one coaching and programs, I aim to compress years of discovery into moments of transformation for you. If you're seeking to be seen, supported, heard, and respected—I see you, because I was you! Let's embark on this journey together, from shadow to light.
