Finding Joy in the Hard

Episode 33: Falling Apart or Falling Into Place With Heidi Low


Listen Later

Heidi Low lost her only biological child, Alison, and then a month later her marriage. In this very special conversation, Heidi shares how she knew early on if she was going to rebuild her life, she wanted to be refined by all that happened to her, not defined by it. 

And so in everything she did, she looked at how she could grow from the experiences. How it could be a catalyst. How it could  be something that she looked at and said yes, of course.

This is my 33rd episode. Interestingly, the No. 3 in Jin Shin Jyutsu means relationship. Heidi demonstrates how to create a beautiful relationship with yourself to nurture  and heal so that you can be a catalyst for growth and healing in someone else's life.  

Twenty years ago in a few short months, Heidi Low went from stay at home wife and mom to one terminally ill daughter and 3 bonus children to single girl working and going to school full time. She spent the next eight years researching like crazy, trying everything from therapy to energy healing. Most weren’t directly related to grief, but focused on growth – using her deep pain as a catalyst for creating something good.

Born out of that work, she walked away from an established career in health care policy to start 'Ohana Oasis, a non-profit serving bereaved parents nationwide with weeklong retreats. What began as her facilitating one small retreat, has expanded to retreats held regionally across the United States, a leadership training program and new cohorts being full supported by trained alumni leaders. 10 years later she’s developed, facilitated, and overseen more than 15 retreats. 

Now Heidi’s taking that retreat experience to show others who want to create their own heart-centered retreats, how they can do it too.
