Meet your Teacher
Heather Waxman is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and certified somatic exercises instructor who supports chronically stressed adults seeking greater calm, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Her work resonates with thoughtful, introspective individuals who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite years of insight or personal growth. Many are navigating burnout, life transitions, or seasons of inner change and are longing for a slower, more embodied way to feel safe and steady within themselves. Heather’s approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and somatic, integrating nervous system regulation, relational healing, and depth-oriented psychotherapy. She works from a non-pathologizing perspective, understanding anxiety and chronic stress as meaningful signals rather than problems to fix. Her work emphasizes slowing down, cultivating presence, and building a felt sense of inner safety so healing can unfold gently and sustainably.
