Rural Through & Through

Hello belly bumpers, all night wakers, and rug rat chasers,

          My name is Heather; I am a registered nurse for Expecting Success, a new momma, and a serious multitasker- but what mom isn’t?

I was raised on a farm around Cochrane and grew up around Rodeo. I have always rode horses, enjoyed being active and being outdoors no matter where I have lived or where other areas of my life have taken me. I believe I learned work ethic, dedication, and perseverance from these experiences. Rodeo scholarships lead me to Texas, where in 2009, I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Texas Tech University.  I came home to Alberta and started my registered nursing career at the rural hospital at Stettler and since moved jobs to Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House.

Recently having my first child I was determined to take charge of my birth story so I educated myself on every natural birthing technique and holistic approach I could find. My motto is Act rather than React. As a new momma I believe rural roots and getting back to the basics create a great foundation to happy and healthy children. I plan to keep growing and striving to be the best parent I can be to my child.  

All of you rural mom-to-be’s, moms, and you that are rural at heart let’s band together and support one another. I am so excited about this opportunity to support, educate, and bring families together.
