“I feel more flexible than in my 20s when I was dancing, not because I did any sort of exercise routine. But because I healed, I released, and I said bye bye to negative people and toxic people.” – Heather Ann Ferri

Today’s featured author is a speaker, singer, healer, educator, and the World Record Holder for most spins whilst tap dancing, Heather Ann Ferri. Heather Ann and I had a fun on a bun chat about her books, her journey of overcoming severe childhood trauma through creative arts, the sacredness of physical art, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

How publishing her first book led to her starting a trauma coaching practice

How releasing trauma has made her feel younger and more flexible than she was in her twenties

What it was like working in India as a choreographer for a Billy Graham production

How a random encounter with a donkey taught her one of life's most important lessons
