Hi,

I’m Heather.  For many years, I struggled with self-hatred and low self-esteem.  I didn’t feel beautiful, worthy or valued.  In fact, quite the opposite!  My weight yo-yo’d up and down over the years - but regardless of how thin or fat I was at any given time... one thing remained constant:  I did not love myself (or even like myself). 

When I looked in my mirror, all I saw was fatness and failure. 

In November 2007, I founded the Beautiful Life Project with a view to change my life and follow my dreams... but also to unite with other women who had been struggling with similar issues. 

These days, I host self-esteem workshops and give talks to women and girls from all walks of life, encouraging them to:

1. Embrace their beauty and value - exactly as they are right now!
   

2. Treat themselves with love and respect.
   

3. Understand what their strengths, skills and talents are.
   

4. Use those talents and strengths to live passionately... to follow their dreams and do that which makes them come alive! (there is so much more to life than simply ‘surviving’ it!)
   

5. Help, inspire and encourage others along the way.
   

This website and my project is all about what I discovered and learned on my journey towards healing and living a beautiful life... but more importantly, it’s about connecting with, inspiring, involving and encouraging others as we walk this road together! 

My life’s mission... the thing that makes me come alive... is to see women and girls embrace their beauty and uniqueness - discovering their purpose - escaping “One Day When” land... and doing what makes them come alive!

Here’s to a beautiful life!
