Welcome. I'm Heidi Russell.
I'm drawn to people who are carrying a heaviness they can't quite explain. The kind where getting through the day takes more effort than it should, where things you used to enjoy feel flat, and where you might be going through the motions without really being present. If that resonates, you're in the right place.
The other area close to my heart is relationships. How we connect with the people around us shapes so much of how we feel about ourselves and our lives. When those connections are strained, whether it's with a partner, a family member, or a friend, the ripple effects touch everything. I'm interested in helping you understand what's happening in your relationships and what role you might be playing, not to assign blame, but to give you more choices about how you show up.
I take a whole-person approach. Your body, your emotions, your sense of meaning in life, they're all connected, and I don't think you can address one without considering the others. Our conversations will feel warm and grounded. I'll encourage you to explore at your own pace, always with kindness and never with pressure.
Forgiveness comes up a lot in my work. Forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's not about letting people off the hook. It's about putting down something heavy so your hands are free for what comes next. If that idea intrigues you, we can explore it.
Whatever brought you here today, I'd like to hear about it.
