Heather Boersma - Mental Health Speaker Keynote Speaker from Vancouver, BC

Heather Boersma is a Motivational + Keynote Speaker with over 20 years of experience, who explores the power of mindset, emotional resiliency, overcoming anxiety, goal setting, and self-leadership. Using storytelling, humor, and research-based tools, Heather creates an experience your group will remember. In 2014, after the birth of her second child, Heather experienced severe burnout. She had just been diagnosed with the BRCA2 breast cancer gene and was grieving the loss of a close family member to cancer. At the time, she was traveling across the country speaking, filming a television show, and promoting her first book. But everything came to an abrupt halt when she began experiencing debilitating panic attacks and made the life-altering decision to pause her career and prioritize her health. Through her healing journey, Heather discovered the power of life coaching, nervous system regulation, CBT, and neuroscience-based tools. She fully recovered from anxiety and became a certified life coach, driven to help other women heal from—and prevent—burnout using the strategies she had learned. Heather is currently completing her Master of Counselling Psychology to deepen her expertise in emotional health, mental wellness, and sustainable transformation. This academic foundation enriches her talks with cutting-edge insights from psychology and neuroscience. As a certified life coach, Heather also offers 1:1 coaching in her speaking sessions. If you'd like your audience to receive live, on-the-spot coaching, this powerful and engaging approach brings her teaching to life in real time.
