Venus helped save our relationship and guided us into marriage. I started working with Venus Oracle over a year ago during a time when my partner and I were constantly clashing and on the brink of separation. We were stuck in a cycle of arguments and miscommunication, and I honestly wasn't sure we were going to make it. With Venus' steady, intuitive guidance, everything began to shift. She helped us understand each other in new ways, communicate more openly, and reconnect with the deeper reasons we were together in the first place. Working with her also sparked a huge change in me personally. I developed a new level of self-awareness and self-love, which completely changed how I show up in my relationship and in life. I can honestly say her support was a major reason we got married. I don't think we would have made it to that level of connection without her. Investing in this kind of support isn't always easy, but the value I received was far beyond the cost. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're in a relationship that matters to you or even preparing yourself for one working with Venus is a unique game-changer you won't find anywhere else. She's wise, compassionate, and truly gifted at what she does. My advice is to invest now and see for yourself. read more

My session with Venus felt like a prayer whispered by my child self--a tender connection to the younger me who had been longing to be heard, held, and understood. Parts work is such delicate and vulnerable territory, and it's not something I could have navigated alone. I am deeply grateful that Venus stood by me as a compassionate guide, gently reminding me of the purpose behind this healing path. Because the work is so raw and tender, I needed someone who could create a safe, nurturing space--and Venus did exactly that. I was able to go deep into a part of myself that had been calling out for attention and witness. I wept the most beautiful, freeing tears when my inner child finally spoke the fear that has been woven so deeply into my present life. This moment brought a profound awareness that had always felt just out of reach. Through Venus' loving guidance, I found the strength to hold myself with comfort and speak the words my inner child needed to hear in order to begin healing. If you feel even a spark of curiosity about starting your parts work journey, I can't recommend Venus enough. read more

I have had the pleasure of this Incredible woman being my Life Coach for almost two years now. My trust in Heather only grows deeper as time passes. She has been there through all of my growing pains. Whether I was traveling around the world and needed a coaching session over the phone or even just down the block, for a Reiki appointment, she shows up for you 100%. Heather makes you feel you seen, and heard in a way that opens the door for endless possibilities. When I was so depressed and had lost my faith, or was at my best and needed a loving check-in or tune-up; Heather has never failed to create a space to help me in whatever I was going through. She's a natural Intuitive Healer, and it shows. One of things I love about working with her is that she picks up on what you need and customizes the session as she sees fit; whether you need an energy boost, a chakra tune-up, or help working through an emotional trauma/block or a physical ailment; Heather is your Healer. My gratitude for this woman is endless and I highly recommend her! read more

I have received Reiki from Heather several times. The times when I was suffering from physical discomfort, I walked away from my session with immediate relief. Even when I hadn't come in with any physical ailments, I left with a clear mind and overwhelming physical and mental awareness. There are so many benefits you can experience from just one session - some completely unexpected. As a life coach and energy healer, Heather has offered me an unparalleled sense of enlightenment that I've carried with me on my own journey to self acceptance and awareness, and I am constantly turning to her for advice and higher perspective. Even on the days when I'm not craving guidance, Heather's positive energy always makes a huge impact. I've never walked away from a session or conversation with her not feeling thankful she's in my life. I can't recommend Lighten Up Energy Healing enough! read more

I recently went through IVF treatments to try and have a baby. The process is very intense physically and emotionally and I reached out to Heather for a Reiki session during this time. She came to my apartment and set up a soothing space for our session, using sage to clear the space and her beautiful hand crafted aromatherapy chakra sprays. Throughout the session I felt a great surge of energy moving through my entire being. As we came across spots where energy was feeling blocked, she gently talked me through things or simply let her breath and energy do the work. She channels a healing force and is truly gifted at tapping into this energy. She is so passionately drawn to this work that her entire being breathes it. If you are interested in Reiki, energy healing, or just need to lighten up, you are in the best of healing hands with Heather! read more

Venus has been extremely helpful in encouraging me to communicate my deepest desires and ask for them to be met - even when that feels vulnerable & scary. Her courage to communicate with others so clearly and directly is so inspiring to me and has helped me really deepen the human connections in my life! She truly has a gift for helping people deepen their understanding of one another and communicate their truth without judgement nor blame. I've seen her mediate disagreements between two people in real time, and the perspective she's able to provide is so profoundly clearing and healing to all who get to witness & experience it. I highly recommend working with her if you're looking to grow your communication skills, confidence and ability to connect with people on a deeper, realer & more compassionate level! read more

I was lucky enough to find Heather a couple of years ago. seeing her was my first experience with reiki or any type of energy work. after one hour with her i was absolutely blown away. at that time i was living with pretty severe chronic pain in my face and jaw, and it had been persisting for nearly ten years. Heather never even touched my physical body during our session but the pain in my face was COMPLETELY GONE for about three entire weeks after our one reiki session. it was amazing. since then I've actually gone on to become a reiki practitioner myself, in part due to experiencing such profound results from Heather. she is an incredibly compassionate, patient and talented healing artist. do not hesitate to book yourself an appointment with her. you will thank yourself for it!! read more

I love love love working with Heather! She is a truly gifted healer and brings a breadth of love and compassion to both her healing and her teaching. I had my first reiki session with her last year, and had no idea what to expect. I was instantly put at ease when i met Heather and saw her warm and inviting space. The session was incredible! Heather helped me to release tension and energy blockages that had been plaguing me for years- in that very first session. A few months later, Heather was teaching Reiki I and I jumped at the chance to learn from her. Her class was life changing and has inspired me to pursue a career in the healing arts. I have so much gratitude for Heather and her high vibes, i cannot recommend her enough!!!! read more

I've spent my last two years on a journey of self discovery and understanding. As soon as I heard about Heather's Reiki specialty it immediately peaked my interest and I made an appointment. Walking into something like this could be a bit intimating...but I had no such experience with Heather- I felt comfortable and welcomed from the moment I walked through the door! By the end of my first session I felt clear, tingly, peaceful, and very impressed with her ability to hone in on some of my energy blocks. We ended up having a lovely chat afterwards and shared some different experiences and resources with each other. Needless to say I'm very much looking forward to my next session- shes great! read more

Heather is a beautiful soul whose generous spirit is contagious. From Reiki to strengths coaching, Heather is always present and her healing capacity has no boundaries.

She understands her clients individual needs and works through an approach specific to them, always coming from a place of positive. Her challenges push people to be better, her encouragement empowers those around her to shine. I can't say enough positive things about Heather! read more

Heather listened and understood my needs and introduced me to German New Medicine. It was an approach to healing that I have never experienced, and am so grateful I did. She made it very comfortable for me to open up and be vulnerable. I realized tonight that certain names, dates, and specific thoughts don't trigger me anymore... at all. That alone was worth it for me! I know I had many emotional blockages and poor beliefs keeping me from physically healing, now I believe I will be able to fully heal! She is very knowledgeable at what she does and I am looking forward to more sessions with her in the near future! read more

I carry a lot of stress in my jaw and constantly grind my teeth. I'm always looking for ways to relieve this stress and looked to Heather for help. She was able to sense the tension and negative energy around my jaw without me even having to tell her it was there and I was amazed that I could actually feel the negativity leaving that area as she worked. I'm a believer! Even better, Heather is a delight and such a positive person. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get rid of negative energy or just looking to be around some positive energy! read more

I was presented with Heather's incredible healing energy exactly when I needed it. Initially, I had some tough decisions to make but felt stuck, and my session with Heather helped me see the path more clearly.

Making that first appointment was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made! read more
