Heather Couture

When Heather is not educating young children, she is fostering the hula hoop community in southern Ontario by hosting meetups and instructing students of all ages. Heather has a passion for making things from blending natural skincare products to painting with watercolours. She enjoys having the skills to make things and loves to teach others.

After the devastating loss of her life-partner Brad to suicide six years ago she held on to these simple words: keep moving. Since Brad’s death, Heather has continued to direct creative projects through her design practice, she received a certificate in Bereavement Education at the University of Toronto and completed an intensive program in Early Childhood Education. She is currently working as a preschool teacher at Hillfield-Strathallan College in Hamilton, Ontario.
