Heather ran for cover and that's when she saw it - a small camera, rusting under the slides. Water dripped from the viewfinder as she held it up to her eight-year-old cheek and saw the world in a frame for the first time.  Although hooked on images, she didn't set out to become a photographer. Instead, she went into biology, traveling and working in wildlife conservation until finally, ending up in Hawaii. After her son was born, she circled back to the viewfinder, which had been using to photograph wildlife, and started using it to photograph the wildest life of all - families. Heather loves the chaos, energy, and little gestures inherent to each family. She is fascinating how these movements can be so beautiful.  Now, Heather has been photographing local and visiting families in Hawaii for over 12 years. She takes them on mini adventures where they play and explore. Best of all she sees their world in frame for the first time, and helps them see just how beautiful it is. hilittlebird.comConsider supporting the podcast for $5 though BuyMeACoffeeSupport the show

There she provides individual and group therapy, focusing primarily on trauma healing; perinatal mental health; parenting/caregiving; identity exploration for people of color; and neurodiversity. She is a graduate of RTB's psychologically sensitive yoga teacher training and teaches a weekly online class. In both yoga and therapy, Hannah and Room To Breathe emphasize accessibility, autonomy, and the importance of participants building an internal sense of safety. By prioritizing “function over form,” participants have the space to explore the sensation of postures and experiences without the pressure of achieving a particular form or outcome. Practicing these values in the yoga and therapy spaces changes the power dynamic in the room and can be a tool for healing for folks that have had their choice taken away from them. Hannah and Room To Breathe know that these are practices that benefit everyone, not just those that identify with a trauma history, and hope that both participants and practitioners can learn how psychologically sensitive care can benefit everyone.Consider supporting the podcast for $5 though BuyMeACoffeeSupport the Show.Support the Show.

Whether at work or life in general, yoga can help to get the morning going, reset the spirit in the afternoon, or wind down the day into a restful evening. But the more she studies and teaches yoga, the desire to bring more inclusion to the practice is the larger goal. Elements of yoga can be adapted to any levels of capability, to bring joy in movement to those otherwise not considered students of yoga. She wishes to bring yoga to those communities, expanding the perception beyond the catch phrases and the fancy clothes. The outdoors is her haven and healer. The trees are her inspiration and protector from the elements. She marvels at nature and its adaptability. Lorine draws from her Reiki and Yoga studies, love of nature, connection to her own inner child, and openness to alternate methods of healing when teaching, moving away as much as is possible from the conventions of the pharma industry to guide and connect her students with their true higher selves.Consider supporting the podcast for $5 though BuyMeACoffeeSupport the Show.Support the Show.
