Heidi Wheeler
Heidi loves to challenge individuals and systems to transformation. She's holds an M.S. in the Adult Nurse Practitioner track from the University of Colorado and spent a decade as a healthcare change agent; themes from gaining that mindset now overflow into her writing.
She enjoys writing to encourage women to health, wholeness of mind, body and spirit, and living in the fullness of their gifts. She tries to balance her numerous roles and interests (and sometimes fails)—as a wife, mom of four, nursing professor, exercise fanatic, nature enthusiast, and social justice advocate. Her work can be found at CT Women, inCourage, and Ruminate, and more. She writes for her local newspaper challenging others to reconsider their preconceived positions on race, success, and other ways of being in the world.
