Heather Parmley

Heather grew up nestled in the hills of Ohio, first attending Hocking College for a degree in Ecotourism and Adventure Travel. Having an inherent love for animals and plants, she quickly fell into the role of a Tour Guide. Loving to educate others about the environment, this job was thrilling, and gifted an insider's view of the Outdoor Recreation world (rock climbing, scuba diving, zip lining, backpacking, kayaking, etc.). The role of tour guide allowed her to study and gain valuable knowledge on the different ecosystems she lived around. Heather has been lucky enough to call the Appalachian Forest, Florida Barrier Reef, The Grand Canyon, and now the Blue Ridge Mountains home. Taking this knowledge with her on retreats, she's able to guide an in-depth adventure day, with a special love for the places she's previously guided before.

At a young age Heather started to explore self development work, after being inspired by a Cross Cultural class she took in college. With her interest to learn, and her love for connection, she soon found herself diving into the world of Yoga and all things spiritual. This lifestyle sparked growth and pushed Heather out of her comfort zone. Experimenting with many different kinds of therapy, meditation, nutrition classes, and leaning into her love for dance and movement, she continued her education every chance she got.
