With over 30 years in the fields of psychology and human potential movement, Heather Stevning is a certified hypnotherapist, life coach and reiki practitioner. After receiving an M.A. in Psychology, specializing in Counseling in ‘84, Heather worked as a therapist for R.Y.G.C.A., as a school-based counselor in Redlands middle schools and conducted a Drug Diversion Course for San Bernardino County.
In 1995, Heather founded Blue Mud Yoga & Hypnosis Studio, where she taught yoga classes and presented workshops in “wildchild” writing, meditation, Yoga for Depression & Anxiety and Breathwork and much more for fifteen years.
In 2010, Heather decided to close the yoga studio in order to focus on her long standing private practice of life coaching and hypnosis. Heather says, “I am finally free to do what is my one true love: working with individuals to guide them toward fearlessly taking charge of their lives!”
Heather considers her teachers and mentors among the following: Krishnamurti, Neem Karoli Baba, Robert Bly, Carl Jung, Sri Ramana Maharshi, Brugh Joy, Richard Moss, Rumi and Milton Erickson.
“Our session yesterday was phenomenal for me. I listened to the tape again last night and already I feel more peaceful and excited about the surgery. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom with me.”
- Barbara
“Thank you for everything you have done for me through hypnotherapy. Not only have I lost 15 pounds in nine months, but I also have more discipline with food. I eat healthier food, drink more water and walk more frequently. I feel happier and healthier than I have in years. Hypnotherapy has helped bring wonderful balance into my life. Again, thank you!” – Sue
“It’s been almost two months since my mother’s death…I’m still not quite myself and am trying to find my balance in a “new place of being.” I am amazed at the depth and degree of clearing and healing that went on in those last two months between my mother and me. Thank you for your integral part in that process with her. If I had not had those sessions with you, I believe I would have missed a huge opportunity. You showed me the way to make those last days with my mother some of the most transformative and healing moments of my life. I can’t tell you how much your compassionate presence and wise counsel meant to me in those moments of confusion and distress. It changed everything,..and me.” – Tricia
“One should always start at the beginning…I was sick: physically, mentally and spiritually sick. My therapist had been at me for years to come and see you and I of course resisted as I usually do when people “tell” me what to do. Then my daughter came to me and told me she was pregnant. I was ecstatic…. I had been so unhappy even though my career was good, my personal life was miserable. The announcement if the advent of a grandchild was thrilling. I had to get better!! I was determined to be a healthy and loving grandmother. You set me on my way–your patience and understanding helped guide me to a new trail in my life. I want to express my gratitude for not only always being there, but for continuing to be there even when I don’t actually see you. Your words and support are always felt regardless of where I am; I have learned to “let it go,” take deep breaths, stretch and enjoy my world with all its beauty and tribulations. I hope to continue our friendship and I know when I need that extra boost, therapy or a bit of hypnosis, you will always be there. I will gladly keep my eye on your thread as you have kept one on mine, and with all of us we will still be weaving our beautiful tapestry of love.” – Kathy
“Heather, I wanted to let you know, as you could probably tell, I was very skeptical of the hypnosis. The experience was reviving. After months passed, the experience was reassuring that I could put my grief in a safe place. It’s not that I don’t think of my loss or my heart doesn’t hurt when I think of them, but I no longer have the emotional breakdowns I have had for the last year and a half. I’m still an emotional person, but no bad weeks because I see someone pregnant or a newborn. So I wanted to thank you for your healing power. I’m so lucky to have been able to step out of my bubble and try new things that led me to you. Thanks again. Much love and gratitude.” – Helene
“Wow!!! I am totally amazed at how easy it was to quit smoking with hypnosis! I have been a smoker for over 30 years and tried EVERYTHING to quit….. Chantix, Commit, Acupunture, etc with no success. I was totally stressed out with each effort I made to quit. When I went to Heather, I really didn’t think it was going to work. I knew how much I needed to quit health wise and thought I would try one more thing. And WOW!!!! It worked!!!! Thank you Heather!!!!” Peggy G.
Heather, it was so good to see you again. Your presence reminds me of how much I still miss you and Blue Mud. As much as I understand it’s best for you, I feel this hollowness and emptiness that hasn’t been filled yet. I’m just glad I had the years I did with you. I learned so much. I still tell people the story about when I first came to your yoga class and you were doing some Kundalini thing and I sat there smiling, thinking “is she really serious about asking us to do this?” You were my bridge from Iyengar to the rest of the yoga world. Anyway, I appreciate all your input and just printed your “Let go of results!” email and posted it on my office wall. Another thing I remember you saying was “Be careful what you wish for” and I often think about that as well. So, whether you are aware of it or not, you have been a positive influence in my life and I hope we can keep meeting periodically to catch up on what’s happening in our lives. Take care and big hugs from me, C. S.
Just wanted to thank you again for your help with my relationship with my sister. After the session I felt emancipated, free of all the negative energy.
And the” near miracle” of over coming my fear of eye surgery, which I had delayed for 3 years. The CD you recorded for me worked great, it kept me focused on what was true for me and it turned out to be a cake walk!
