Heather Kieffer
Heather began her spiritual journey 20 years ago when she discovered her father’s suicide, which spiraled her to explore the meaning of “why” in life. She did not want to stay in a victimized mentality. Heather found White Dove Circle of Light and Love over 12 years ago and was able to receive more clarity and purpose for all of life. Heather has worked in property management for much of her career to date and discovered she was always in a position of counseling the residents and employees. She became a corporate trainer and traveled throughout the Midwest, empowering people to become a better version of themselves in their work and personal lives. Even when Heather is out and about, people open up their personal lives and tell their stories to her. Heather has always felt a sincere desire to assist others. In her kitchen she displays Ghandi’s quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Heather is a Reiki practitioner, life coach/wellness advocate, and channel for higher vibrations. She is a true channel for the Pleiadians and works with them during her coaching sessions. Heather has three independent children.
