Meet Heather Engler

Do you feel stuck? Have you had a traumatic life event(s), not a great childhood, death in the family, divorce, etc., that has been hard to ‘get over’? Do you feel like you are not fully in control of your life? 

Hi!  My name is Heather, and I was there for 40 years. After a tumultuous childhood with a verbally abusive father and codependent mother, which resulted in divorce when I was 6 years old, I never felt safe.  I had no idea how to regulate my emotions.  I ended up with a speech impediment, a horrible temper, and weight gain from using food as comfort, as well as a way to numb the pain I was feeling.  I went to my first therapist when I was 10 years old.  Each decade of my life seemed to bring on new issues and things that I didn’t know how to deal with, because of my dysregulated nervous system that had me in constant fight or flight mode.  I had trust and abandonment issues.  I had horrible knee issues associated with the instability in my life.  I did so much work in my psyche/head – therapy, listening to podcasts, reading books, praying, meditating, talking about it endlessly, but still feel stuck. I didn’t feel fully alive, and I didn’t feel that I had agency over my life.  I was at the mercy of my wounds.  

It wasn’t until I found Somatic Breathwork™ in 2023, that things started to get ‘unstuck’. It was the missing puzzle piece for me, and has been described as the same by many.  How could this be?  How was I finally able to breakthrough so many blockages just by breathing?!  It’s because our bodies are brilliant and perfect. Our body keeps the score, and it holds the keys to our innate nature. The body knows the way to healing.  I had been numb for 44 years. Once I shut up my psyche (your mind really can be such an annoying roommate sometimes), and dropped into my soma/body, a whole new world opened up.  And that stuck feeling was GONE!  I now have control over my emotions, I know how to drop into my body to find answers, and I allow for the innate healing to happen, as my body knows better than my ego.

When I started having so much success with this modality, I knew I had to learn how to share it with others. I received my Somatic Breathwork™ Practitioner Certificate in May 2024, and I am heading to Austin for further Hands-On Training in June 2024.  My passion and purpose have been revealed in doing my own work, and I am thrilled to be able to share it with as many people as possible, by holding a safe space for you to connect to your breath, listen to your innate nature, and journey to become your most authentic self.  Conscious breathing teaches us to be the pilot of our body, not just a passenger. It’s time to take control, and release all that is not serving you!
