How can we begin to normalize conversations about menstruation and menopause? How can we break the stigma around these topics?

MEET Heather Hendrie

Heather Hendrie is a Whistler nature-based therapist and writer originally from Guelph, Ontario who has lived in Cusco, Costa Rica, California, Colorado, and the Canadian Rockies before calling British Columbia home.

Heather holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree in Outdoor Pursuits from the University of Calgary, and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counselling with a concentration in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy from Naropa University.

Heather is also an author, and her intimate writing style draws on her varied life experiences and works as a clinical counselor to remind us all that in our tough or embarrassing moments, we are not alone. Heather’s first best-selling anthology, awfully hilarious: stories we never tell, won the Canadian Book Club Awards for Best Anthology in 2023. The second anthology in the series, period pieces, tells truths in an attempt to end shame around menstruation and menopause.

Heather considers herself to be an expert in play and JOY, and her inner child is obsessed with wearing all of her favorite patterned clothes at once.
