about heather
Heather Tharpe is an expertly-trained, highly-regarded Senior Yoga Instructor, Hypnotherapist, Intuitive Life Guide, and Energetic Practitioner.
From Spunk Fitness to Hope Yoga
It was New York City in the early 1990s when Heather began her career working with both adults and children in the mind-body field. After relocating to Boston’s North Shore, Heather was among the first in the area to introduce the practice and benefits of yoga and mindful meditation. She introduced yoga, fitness, and mindfulness to her kindergarten students in 1993. Shortly after presenting her unique children’s programs to her students, she expanded into area fitness centers before opening “Spunk Fitness for Children.” During those years, Heather earned the nickname “the child whisperer.” After her daughter’s birth, she sold her first baby “Spunk Fitness,” and then founded Hope Yoga in 2002, with the intent to draw everyday people of all ages to the yoga mat.
Becoming an Intuitive Life Coach
After two-plus decades as a mind-body trainer and educator, in 2012, Heather became an Intuitive Life Coach and Energetic Healer. "My private yoga and meditation sessions evolved into a more nourishing experience; rather than just postures and breath, clients requested life guidance and energetic healing. It became clear we heal and strengthen the physical, mental, and even spiritual parts of ourselves through breath and movement, but my clients needed more. Becoming a Reiki Master and adding Intuitive Healing to my offerings felt organically driven."
Overcoming Lifelong Challenges with Hypnosis
Heather came to Hypnosis in 2011 for help with a nail-biting habit she developed as a young girl. “During times of stress, it was something I couldn’t control. Then, in the middle of my divorce challenges, I woke to find myself biting my nails in my sleep. I felt beat up and bruised and whenever I looked at my hands, it reinforced that feeling. It was then I turned to Hypnosis for help. I felt empowered when I conquered my lifelong (defeating) coping addiction. The results were astonishing; I later returned to Hypnosis to assist with anxiety, stress reduction and many other life challenges. What I experienced in hypnotherapy led me to bring my children to a hypnotherapist. They, too, experienced life-changing results. It was then I began to consider studying Hypnosis.” In 2020, Heather completed her Hypnosis studies and joined a local Hypnosis Center before opening her private practice in Wenham, MA.
A Fourth-Generation Clairvoyant and Medium
Heather, also a fourth-generation clairvoyant and medium, customizes her sessions by applying her inherited intuitive skills. “By listening to my heart, my gut, my sixth sense, I can assist my clients in healing and providing what they need to be and feel their best.” As an Intuitive Life Coach, she taps into these senses to serve as a conduit for her clients. Through Heather, clients receive life guidance from their Spirit Guides, Angels, and the Spirit Energy of lost loved ones. Heather shares with her clients how to become more aware of their intuition and communicate with their Angels & Spirit Guides for daily assistance. According to Heather, “When we use our intuition as our internal navigation system, we can curate a life lived with ease and confidence.”
Heather is currently working with adults, teens, and children remotely and in the office.
“Any time I feel like I need a boost mentally or physically, I call Heather.
“She is my full on lifestyle guru—from intuitive guidance and energy balancing to yoga, health, and fitness training. Because of her, I feel like I am on a great path to living a balanced and healthy life!”
