About me
This was me from 2018 to 2020.
I can’t count how many hours I spent in bed during those years. I’d wake up, get the kids dressed, do the school drop-off, come home and crawl right back under the covers. I’d pick up the little ones from Mom’s Day Out, feed them, and then lie down again for nap time exhausted before the day was even halfway over. It was the same story, over and over:
“Your labs look fine. Everything is normal. Maybe try an antidepressant?”
But I knew something deeper was going on.
Hi, I’m Heather, or you can call me Mare
“Mare” means sea in Latin, and the ocean is where everything changed. I was adopted. I grew up feeling rejected, abandoned, and like I had to earn my place in every room I entered. Later, as a foster and adoptive mom myself, I realized something life-changing: I couldn’t help my children heal if I didn’t heal. So I began the long, sacred work of breaking cycles and coming home to myself.
I’m a Holy Fire® Reiki II practitioner and a Shamanic Advanced Energy Medicine Practitioner, certified in Usui Reiki. But beyond the titles, I am a mother of six, step mom to two and Mimi to ten beautiful grandkids. I am lover all things tea, the moon and a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan. We also can’t forget my love for football. I mean I am originally from Alabama.
My healing didn’t begin in a classroom, it began on the bathroom floor.
In 2018, I found myself there, shattered in silence, unraveling under the weight of a life I was supposed to be grateful for. I was raising children, pouring into everyone else… and somewhere along the way, I lost myself. Therapy helped me survive. But life kept pushing. Before I was diagnosed with autoimmune issues and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I thought I was dying a slow death.
Then came 2023, the year I stopped waiting to be saved.
I took a solo trip to the beach. Just me and the ocean. The waves didn’t judge. The wind didn’t rush me. The sand dollars became whispered prayers I didn’t realize I was making. And something in me finally softened. That trip became the first page of a new chapter.
Then Reiki found me.
My very first session changed everything. I felt the energy move. I felt seen. And I heard the words in my soul:
“Quit fighting……you’ve already won.”
That message became the seed of Mystic Moon Healing.
This isn’t just a practice, it’s a sanctuary.
A soft place to land. A space where women can exhale, unravel, and begin again.
I know how hard it is to open up. I spent five years in therapy before I ever told my full story. So when I say I understand, I mean it with my whole heart.
Mystic Moon Healing is intuitive care rooted in compassion and sacred listening. I offer sessions infused with Reiki, intuitive guidance, journaling, crystals, and sound healing, always guided by what your system needs most. Every woman who walks through my door, meets me on Zoom, or messages my inbox deserves to know:
You are worthy of healing.
You are not too broken.
And it is safe to begin.

Healing made me a better mother, partner, friend, and woman. Now I’m here to walk beside you as you return home to yourself.
You have the right to heal. Let’s begin.
