What is your story…

A Whole-Person Approach to Healing

At the center of our practice at Kaiun Wellness is a deep belief in the healing potential of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Sexual and psychological wellbeing are foundational to this process, but they are just part of the picture. True healing happens when we begin to see ourselves as a whole system: our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships, identities, habits, and stories all intertwined.

Too often, we put our needs on the back burner—especially when caring for others or trying to meet societal expectations. We may feel disconnected from our bodies, uncertain about our desires, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Therapy is a place to pause and tune in. It’s where we begin to untangle the knots, reconnect with our inner wisdom, and rediscover the parts of ourselves we’ve had to quiet.

In our work together, we’ll explore not just your mental and emotional life, but how physical health, nutrition, movement, rest, and pleasure all contribute to your wellbeing. I honor that healing looks different for everyone. That’s why I draw not only from traditional talk therapy but also integrate supportive resources—whether that’s collaborating with other wellness professionals, exploring how nutrition impacts mood, or inviting gentle, body-based practices into the work.

Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, identify what’s getting in the way of your growth, and help you write a narrative that feels more honest and empowering.

We’ll also look at how systems—family, culture, gender, sexuality, race, ability—have shaped your experience, and how to reclaim your story in a way that supports your values and joy. You deserve a space to feel heard, held, challenged, and affirmed.

Areas of focus in my practice include:

  • Sexual and psychological wellness

  • Anxiety and depression

  • General life dissatisfaction, identity work, and transition periods

My therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative. We’ll co-create your path using a foundation of Narrative Therapy, Feminist Family Therapy, and Solution-Focused work—while staying open to the wisdom of the body, the impact of nourishment, and the importance of rest, boundaries, and joy. This is flexible, affirming, real-life therapy for real people.

All are welcome here.
Come as you are—messy, curious, burned out, grieving, hopeful, stuck, growing. This is your space, your process, your opportunity to feel whole again.

Meet Heather.

As co-owner of Kaiun Wellness, I am dedicated to supporting the whole person—mind, body, and soul—on the journey toward true, holistic wellness. I believe sexual wellness is an essential part of that journey, encompassing the intersection of physical, mental, and social wellbeing as it relates to sexuality. When we cultivate awareness in this area, we create space for greater authenticity in our relationships with others and with ourselves. Through sex therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore sexual concerns, personal beliefs, and life experiences. Each individual’s sexual journey is unique—shaped by identity, relationships, stage of life, trauma, loss, parenting, and more—and deserves to be understood without shame or judgment. By bringing sexuality into the conversation, we can reclaim it as a natural and healthy part of whole-person wellness.

My academic and professional work has been devoted to understanding the complexities of the human experience, including the sexual side of humanity. In the wake of the pandemic, many people have faced a deep and lingering void in their social, emotional, psychological, and sexual lives, often feeling stuck in the belief that “this is my life now.” I believe we all deserve to feel supported, heard, and safe in a space where we can express the full spectrum of our emotions—anger, sadness, joy, and hope. Sometimes the challenges we face are not the real problem, but signposts pointing us toward deeper truths about ourselves. As we begin to untangle the web of our lives, we see ourselves more clearly and understand our experiences more authentically. My role is to walk beside you in that process, helping you navigate your own uniquely human journey toward connection, clarity, and the pleasures life has to offer.
