““I’ve been in numerous writing programs and have had a number of writing coaches so when I was first introduced to Heather’s writing course, I was hesitant. Six weeks didn’t feel like much time at all and my schedule was already full, but I kept coming back to it. OMG, I am so glad I signed up! The list of what I accomplished in six weeks is extensive, but of course there is one thing that stood out the most… I feel back in love with my book, with my writing, and with myself as a writer. The space Heather creates is nourishing and also filled with solid experience and insight.””

““Heather is not only an incredible editor, but a great coach and friend. When I got off track or stalled for one reason or another, she always pushed me through with a perfect blend of inspiration, encouragement, and reality. I learned so much from Heather. She has a true gift for helping people find their voice.””

““Heather’s writing program not only provided tools for simplifying the writing process, it shifted my mindset about writing. Her step-by-step process takes the stress out of writing and releases greater clarity and focus. Even though the workshop was online, her fun, passionate, and engaging style created an environment for personal growth and learning. I highly recommend Heather’s workshop for anyone sharing their passion through writing.””

““I took Heather’s 6-week writing course and loved every second of it! I was not able to make very many of the live calls but I participated through the recordings and the activities. It helped me come up with new ways to work past my writing blocks and to move into a place of greater strength and belief in myself and my writing. I would highly encourage this course! Thank you to Heather and the beautiful souls in my group!””

““I am not a writer” was a thought that repeated itself over and over in my head, despite being a published author in a women’s anthology and writing for years on my social media platforms. The belief stemmed from old creative wounds from childhood and college and manifested in me holding myself back in many ways professionally.

When I saw Heather’s posts about her writing course, I thought, “That’s not for me. I’m not a writer.” But, I felt a really strong nudge to say yes even though I was nowhere near an idea for a book or even desiring to write one right now. The six weeks allowed a lot of the old wounds to surface and release. She held space for me with compassion, and she helped me to be more compassionate with myself.

The results have been amazing! I now feel confident writing my weekly wisdom and encouragement emails to my list, as well as writing my social media posts. I know that there is a book inside of me and I trust when the time is right, it will rise up and I know just who will meet me and help me bring it to life. Thank you Heather for the compassion and encouragement! Forever grateful!””

““Heather Doyle Fraser coached, cajoled, and edited our vision into a book. We would still be talking about writing a book and making notes on Post-Its without her. Through it all, she guided us with confidence and kindness to the final destination.””

““Heather’s six-week writing course is an amazing investment! The organized process in which Heather walks you through was the perfect way to jump-start my dream of writing a book. The online program gave me the flexibility and also accountability and community. We learned to set up and hone in on our writing practice and how to overcome the obstacles that surface for most writers, all while embracing self-compassion.

In working with Heather and the group of participants in our class, I felt so supported as I presented the concepts, topics, and ideas around my Book Map. I developed great contacts along the way too! I have already suggested this course to a couple of friends who I know desire to write. Regardless of your writing goal, this course will build your confidence and most certainly compassion; if you are a new writer it will help you take the first step, and if you are a more experienced writer it will help you build up your strength for creating fresh, new ideas.””

““I can’t wait to work with Heather Doyle Fraser again. She must get tired of hearing that! My first experience with Heather is when she coached me through writing my first book. I say first book because I cannot wait to have her coach me through my second book as well. In a matter of days - albeit long days - Heather took the fragments of an idea and a loosely told story and guided me patiently through the entire process. Without hesitation, I recommend Heather Doyle Fraser for anyone needing guidance from a coach with a professional attitude and work ethic. She literally is the best.””

““Working with Heather has been life-changing — and not just because she ushered me through the process of creating, writing, and birthing my first book. I’ve learned that writing a book requires healthy doses of self-awareness, willingness to be powerfully changed, and a magnificent release of ego. It has been Heather who has held me in this process and the re-architecting of myself.

She pairs know-how and intellect with intuitive deftness. She brings real-world experience to the writer’s heart and dreams. She creates supportive structure around what is deeply personal, and sometimes fraught, for the author. She pushes back with kindness and humor; she urges and cheerleads with steadiness and assurance. She listens, honors, responds, and guides. The process of book-writing is sacred and Heather knows this. She is supremely suited for what she does: standing sentry on behalf of the writer, her voice, her book, and herself.””

“Heather is professional and passionate about helping others. She helped me to create a book that flowed nicely for the reader and then she walked me through the process of self-publishing. There are many details to this process, but Heather covered all the things I needed to do to get my book published. Heather is encouraging and created time for me anytime I had a question or felt overwhelmed with the publishing process. Thanks to Heather’s help I am now selling copies of my book on Amazon and in stores!””

““Heather Doyle Fraser understood the depth of the material and my dedication to telling the bold truth. Deep down there are no words. Thank you for your expertise and support.””

““My dear friend and colleague, Heather Doyle Fraser, has put together a fabulous writing program. It was my work with Heather that truly gave me the courage to bring forth my book. She was there every step of the way for me—guiding, nudging, gently suggesting, supporting, laughing, holding me while I cried. She knew what would come up deep inside me to be released. Fears and doubt that needed to be experienced so that my authentic voice could speak. Working with Heather gave me accountability. Without her I might have let other things take priority and my book would have stayed a dream instead of a reality. Writing and publishing a book takes vision, tenacity, and a willingness to look at what still lays hidden inside needing healing. Heather was by my side the entire time. I highly recommend her program if you have the dream of a book inside you.””

“Above + Beyond
”Heather graciously took on the task of coaching my team on mindset and mindful compassion. She created a safe place for sharing, learning, and reflecting. The special touches Heather adds to her group coaching experience really set her apart for other presentations. She empowered the group to dig deeper and uncover tools to help move forward personally and professionally.””

““Heather is a wonderful human and the calming presence I need to help me develop the toolset to accomplish my vision for myself. Heather provides the positive support, feedback, and advice I need to improve my own personal effectiveness. In my career transition, she guided me to redesign my brand and live into the leader I am in my personal and professional life.

No matter where you are in your journey, Heather will meet you where you are and partner with you to create your path to your destination.””

““I am a better person and am getting more from life for having known and worked with Heather, who I once called equal parts angel and brilliant. Whether fate or coincidence, our paths crossed at a time when I knew I needed change, but didn’t know how to identify that change or how to make it. Heather applied her inviting, unbiased demeanor to skillfully peel back layers through our enjoyable sessions and helped me to understand more about myself while teaching wise techniques to continue personal discovery and growth.
Heather’s patience and compassion are unmatched and I looked forward to every session we had, both for the journey as well as for the friendship.””

““I’ve worked with Heather for several years now. She is an amazing mentor, coach, and now friend. We have covered so many topics, and I have loved how much of an impact she has had on my personal and professional growth. We are currently using the Compassionate Mind Collaborative as a business consultant for our management group! I always look forward to these sessions. Highly recommend.””

““I worked with Heather for almost a year. During that time she has been such a tremendous asset in assisting me to achieve many personal and professional goals. Her guidance has been instrumental in keeping me focused and providing me with the needed level of support to keep me progressing on my journey of transformation. She is extremely professional, empathetic, and her fun personality has kept me smiling throughout our sessions. I highly recommend Heather for your coaching needs.””

““Although it’s a phrase that is probably overused, in my case, working with Heather Doyle Fraser has been life-changing.

I didn’t really know what to expect on our first visit, but Heather has such a positive and welcoming demeanor that we quickly settled in and began discussing and brainstorming about my life and the challenges I have been trying to navigate. After only a few sessions, I allowed myself to be vulnerable, which wasn’t easy to do. But the result was amazing! She was able to help me uncover things that are truly at the core of my challenges, even sometimes to my surprise. Her strategies to deal with these challenges are always straightforward and you leave each session feeling like you can achieve your goals.

Heather is a truly compassionate person who wants her clients to succeed. She is there to celebrate successes every step of the way, and to encourage you when things get tough. If you are looking for a coach, you simply won’t find one better than Heather.””

““I’ve known Heather for years. She has been a wonderful friend, mentor, coach, and support.””
