Some conversations stay with you long after they end, and my discussion with Dr Heather Herington was one of them. A naturopathic medical doctor and homeopath, Heather shared how her experiences with trauma, loss, and the death of her husband shaped both her life and her approach to healing. We explored her belief that recovery involves more than physical health, combining biochemistry with storytelling, emotional expression, and the arts. Heather also reflected on her experiences with homeopathy, challenges within the healthcare system, and why helping people reframe their personal narratives can be an important part of healing.

Her unique approach combines two essential elements of healing: restoring biochemical balance within the body and helping individuals explore, tell, or revise the stories and experiences that have shaped their lives. With a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotions, Dr. Herington works with individuals experiencing psychological trauma, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, addiction, and other chronic health challenges. She believes that true healing occurs when both the physiological and emotional roots of illness are addressed.
