About the Soulful Living Brand

Soulful Living with Heather brings together creativity, mindful leadership, and healing-centered well-being in a holistic approach to personal and professional growth. Rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with alignment, this work bridges artistry, strategy, and inner grounding to help individuals and organizations thrive with intention.

At its core, Soulful Living is a leadership and well-being framework that supports people in reconnecting with their values, strengthening their communication, deepening their emotional intelligence, and cultivating the clarity needed to move forward with purpose. Whether through coaching, creative development, organizational consulting, or healing arts, the work is designed to open pathways toward greater insight, resilience, and authentic expression.

The framework is built on three foundational pillars:

Creativity & Meaningful Expression
Creativity is a generative force — a way of exploring ideas, uncovering insight, and strengthening one’s voice. Through writing, storytelling, and expressive practices, clients develop deeper clarity, unlock new perspectives, and build the confidence to communicate authentically.

Mindful Leadership & Emotional Intelligence
Leadership is a relational practice grounded in awareness. This pillar integrates emotional intelligence, mindful communication, and values-centered decision-making to help clients lead with clarity, navigate conflict skillfully, and cultivate healthier, more connected environments.

Healing-Centered Well-Being & Personal Alignment
Sustainable growth requires grounding. Through Reiki, energy work, and mindfulness-based approaches, clients learn to regulate stress, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate the inner alignment that makes purposeful action possible.

These pathways work together to support the overarching aim of the Soulful Living approach:

Intentional Living & Values-Based Practice

The outcome of this work is alignment — living and leading from a place of clarity and purpose, where daily actions reflect what matters most. This is where creativity informs direction, leadership becomes compassionate and grounded, and well-being supports sustainable growth.

Soulful Living with Heather offers a space for reflection, transformation, and empowered leadership — a space where creativity, wisdom, and intentional practice come together to support thriving individuals, resilient organizations, and connected communities.

My Background

I’m Heather Robinson Hernandez — a writer, educator, program strategist, and creative arts practitioner with more than twenty years of experience advancing education, leadership development, community engagement, and organizational growth across higher education, federal service, nonprofits, and the creative sector.

My work brings together strategic planning, emotional intelligence, mindful leadership, creative expression, and healing-centered well-being to support individuals and organizations in growing with clarity, purpose, and connection. I help people strengthen communication, navigate change, and build values-aligned lives and workplaces grounded in empathy, creativity, and thoughtful decision-making.

My professional background spans diverse environments, including the Defense Language Institute English Language Center, where I developed and led workforce learning and leadership programs for US and international professionals; the Museum of Friends, where I guided succession planning, organizational development, and community-based arts initiatives; and Spark, where I currently serve as the RSVP County Program Manager for Huerfano and Las Animas Counties, cultivating partnerships and volunteer engagement rooted in service, connection, and resilience.

As a writer and editor, I bring a deep commitment to clarity and story—crafting strategic documents, reports, articles, grant proposals, and creative work that illuminate complex ideas with intention and insight. My creative practice includes poetry, mixed media, expressive arts, and reflective writing, all of which inform my approach to personal and professional development.

As a healing arts practitioner and Reiki Master, I integrate energy-based practices, mindfulness, and restorative tools to support grounding, emotional regulation, and holistic well-being. These practices complement my coaching and consulting work, offering a deeper foundation for aligned action and sustainable growth.

Across all roles, my mission remains the same: to help people and communities thrive through intentional living, compassionate leadership, and meaningful connection.

Through Soulful Living with Heather, I combine strategic expertise, creative expression, and healing-centered practices to guide individuals and organizations toward clarity, resilience, and purpose-driven impact.
