Pregnancy Loss, Trauma and Recovery Speaker
For far too many, baby loss remains shrouded in shadows, a taboo topic whispered in hushed tones, its raw emotions hidden from view. But for me, it has become a burning passion to shatter that silence, to shine a light in those very shadows, and share the stories of stillbirth and miscarriage that desperately need to be heard.
My journey through pregnancy loss wasn't just personal; it was a crucible that forged my professional identity as a mental health professional. I've walked the path of grief, the depths of despair, and the slow, arduous climb back towards hope. But alongside that lived experience, I've honed my skills in supporting others grappling with this same invisible storm. This unique blend of lived experience and professional expertise fuels my passion for public speaking.
My voice isn't just mine; it's a chorus of stories, a tapestry woven from the tears and triumphs of those who have walked this path. When I speak, it's not just information I offer, it's raw empathy, a shared understanding that transcends clinical jargon and PowerPoint slides. I bring the realities of pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss to light.
My goal is not just to educate or inform; it's to transform. To spark conversations where silence once reigned, to ignite empathy where confusion lingered, and to empower others to embrace the light even in the darkest of times.
If you're looking for a speaker who can bring authenticity, empathy, and a genuine understanding of baby loss to your event, I invite you to listen to the chorus of voices I carry. Let's break the silence together, one story at a time, paving the way for better pregnancy support, miscarriage support, and stillbirth support for all.
”When Heather speaks about miscarriage and stillbirth, it comes from the heart. I will remember it and I will make changes to my practice.".”

"From today's training on pregnancy support, I will remember what Heather has to say the most. You can listen to power point presentations from clinicians again and again, but hearing the impact from someone who has lived it makes a difference"
