If your team feels stuck, the problem isn’t communication.

We’ve been told that better ‘tools’ and ‘strategies’ fix a fractured team. But communication is just the symptom; trust is the root. When the foundation isn’t secure, no amount of ‘active listening’ will bridge the gap. We have to address the underlying architecture.

Individual Integrity

Leadership starts with your own internal state. We begin by bringing you home to yourself.

Team Trust

We build the architecture for radical honesty, moving from extraction to collaboration.

Systemic Resilience

Align your purpose of work with regenerative leadership principles to build a culture that actually sustains itself.

Beyond the slide deck: A regenerative approach

Most training stays in the head, but regenerative leadership focuses on the physiological reality of trust. Using regenerative principles and deep strategic insight, we don’t just talk about trust—we build the capacity to sustain it under pressure.

Meet Heather

I’m Heather. I spent years studying how we communicate only to realize that the best strategy in the world fails if the trust isn’t there to hold it.

My work is about moving away from extraction and back toward organizational integrity. Whether we’re building an architecture of trust for your team or walking a pilgrimage in Italy, I’m here to help you find a purpose of work that actually feels sustainable.

FAQS

Regenerative leadership is the practice of building systems—and people—that renew themselves rather than deplete themselves. Instead of extractive leadership models that lead to burnout and fractured trust, regenerative leadership cultivates resilience, clarity, and organizational integrity through embodied practices.

I work with leadership teams, educators, and organizations navigating rapid change, cultural friction, or “stuck” dynamics. My approach resonates with people who are tired of corporate jargon and want a strategic leadership methodology that is grounded, relational, and regenerative.

Beyond the “soft” metrics, we look at the tangible ones: faster decision‑making, reduced turnover costs, and the elimination of “shadow work”—the hidden energy people spend protecting themselves instead of collaborating. When trust is restored, teams regain purpose, alignment, and momentum.

Most training is prescriptive—adding more rules, more tasks, more pressure. REBEL is regenerative. It helps leaders and teams undo conditioning, restore integrity, and remember who they are beneath performance demands. It’s not about adding more work; it’s about returning to what works.

Because trust isn’t a concept—it’s a physiological experience. When a team is in a threat response (fight, flight, freeze), innovation and collaboration shut down. Somatic practices help leaders return to grounded presence, which is the foundation of resilience at work.

I facilitate in‑person intensives across Europe and North America, with a special focus on sanctuary locations in Italy and Spain. For global teams, I offer virtual Trust Diagnostics and regenerative leadership sessions online.

While my work is deeply influenced by contemplative traditions and figures like St. Francis, it is grounded in nervous system science and regenerative ecology. It is open to everyone, regardless of belief system.
