Heather has been a part of the “Auburn Family” since 1973. Her mother and father were both passionate about wellness and fitness. Heather watched her parents touch the lives of thousands of people over the thirty years of their private medical practice. Being raised to help heal others led Heather to her passion of healing through fitness and nutrition.
Heather’s background in fitness goes back to early childhood as a record holding competitive swimmer. Swimming laid the foundation of having the discipline to achieve goals that at first may seem unattainable. Heather had the opportunity to be coached by some of the best swimming coaches in the world- Richard Quick, Auburn University’s swimming coach and three time Olympic swimming coach as well as David Marsh, who led Auburn University to several National Titles.
Heather’s most rewarding fitness accomplishment was quickly getting back into shape after having her two beautiful girls. Facing the challenges of motherhood and time management has given Heather a perspective on women’s lives that allows her to mentor other women with the same obstacles.
