“Diane’s passion to let Love, health, and balance, through from the personal to the planetary led her to degrees in Human Health Sciences (specializing in “HEART health”), Homeopathic Medicine (Internship England), a Masters in Environmental Science & Sustainability, Certifications in Somatic Attachment Therapy and Integrative Trauma Therapy, alongsinde 17 years of mindfulness training and teaching with her Qigong Master, and his Master.

These studies interwove over a decade of river guiding in the Arctic from Alaska to Nunavut where she found her heart song and the courage to let it flow like the wild rivers she traveled.  Her greatest transformation has been the heroine’s journey from her own early birth trauma to becoming a loving conscious mother to her two young children – her greatest teachers of all. 

Diane’s vision is one of unity and awakening to our interconnections with ALL of life. She is interested in “being the bridge” melting inner and outer divides to heal into wholeness. After her Homeopathic internship in England she worked for Health Canada as a Scientific Assessment officer of Traditional and Homeopathic Medicine contributing in World Health Organization document reviews during the creation of Canada’ s Natural Health Products Directorate. Then as a Health Canada Senior Compliance officer in Policy and Risk assessment of Natural Alternatives to Pesticides receiving awards in both these areas. She holds a deep evolving passion for exploring the inter-weavings of Science & Spirituality… Holistic and Conventional medicine… Yin & Yang… to pioneer new ways of supporting healthy thriving life and balance from the personal to the planetary.

Diane founded HeartWood Healing Arts Centre where her classes, teachings, workshops and programs accelerate melting through to natural Health & Balance.

LET LOVE WIN! global movement was birthed in response to uncertainty and unrest on the planet. Like a river rising inside of her she was moved swiftly to launch this global movement on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day to create an accessible affordable safe space for melting anything in the way of love through embodiment, somatic practices, intentional movement, meditation, feeling, healing, sharing and visioning together. She believes DEEP self care IS interconnected to EARTH care. There has never been a more important time on the planet to listen to our heart songs and together find the courage to sing a new balance into being from the personal to the planetary.
