Hi! I’m Heather, a psychologist, educator, and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. I founded Serenta Wellness to help women feel more connected to themselves, care for their well-being, and create lives that feel meaningful to them.

Sometimes you know you want something to change but aren’t sure where to begin. Perhaps you’ve spent years attending to everyone else’s needs, or a life that looks good on paper no longer feels quite right. I believe those moments deserve curiosity and attention.

Through Serenta, I offer psychology-informed education and health and wellness coaching. In my educational programs, I share research on well-being in ways you can use in everyday life. In coaching, I support you as you identify what matters to you and make changes that fit your life.

My path here has included work as a psychology researcher and professor, AMS-certified Montessori teacher, parent educator, consultant, and tennis coach. Across those roles, I’ve been drawn to how people learn, grow, and find their way forward. Being a wife and mother of two grown daughters has shaped my perspective, too.

I love learning outside of work as well. I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, playing tennis, and photography- especially when a photograph helps me notice something I might have rushed past. I’ve recently started learning pottery, and I’m enjoying the chance to be a beginner again.

I’m glad you’re here. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear what you’re hoping for. Let’s start with a conversation.

Heather
