Meet Your Coach & Spiritual Guide

Heather Zimmerman

Your Compassionately Curious Thinking Partner & Spiritual Guide

My spiritual journey started before I even knew what to call it.

As a teenager, I lived in a haunted house. As an atheist at the time, that experience cracked open everything I thought I knew about the world. I searched for answers in various religions, but none quite fit what I felt to be true at my core.

What I didn't understand then was that I'm a natural empath โ€” and without that awareness, I spent years feeling out of alignment with myself and everyone around me. I knew I was here for a reason. I just couldn't see it yet.

The unexpected turning point came in my 30s, through ghost hunting and genealogy of all things. Learning to use dowsing rods to locate unmarked graves opened a door I didn't know existed. I began researching energy, the chakra system, auras, and universal consciousness. From there, I developed my intuitive gifts โ€” tarot, automatic writing, scrying, and learning to recognize how spirit communicates through synchronicities.

Through years of meditation, shadow work, and a deep commitment to living mindfully, my purpose finally became clear.

Along the way, I also spent over 20 years in leadership โ€” managing teams in high-stakes environments where meeting people where they are wasn't optional, it was the only thing that worked. That experience, combined with my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis and Bachelor's in Psychology, showed me that the same patterns I was healing in spiritual work were showing up in boardrooms, team dynamics, and leadership struggles everywhere. The tools aren't that different. The language just changes.

Today, through Divine Ascension Co., I help people transform from the inside out โ€” whether that's guiding someone through a spiritual awakening or helping a business owner recenter their mission and rebuild their team culture through horizontal partnership. I developed the Self-Spirit Methodโ„ข to bridge behavioral psychology with spiritual practice, and I bring that same both/and approach to my leadership consulting work.

Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey, looking to go deeper, or ready to lead differently โ€” I'm here to provide the guidance, support, and sacred space for your transformation.
