Heather MacLeod was born and raised in Powell River on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and now resides in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. A mother of four and Nana of nine, family is at the heart of both her life and her work.

Heather’s professional journey began with a deep calling to understand and support the end-of-life process. She completed her Sacred Passage Doula training through the Conscious Dying Institute shortly before her father’s passing—an experience that affirmed her commitment to walking alongside individuals and families during life’s final chapter with presence, clarity, and compassion.

While she felt well prepared to support end of life, she realized she knew very little about the dementia journey when her father began experiencing memory changes. This recognition led her to pursue further training with Positive Approach to Care under Teepa Snow. She now serves as a Dementia Educator, Facilitator, and End-of-Life Doula.

Heather works in a holistic, non-medical capacity, guiding families through thoughtful end-of-life planning, grief support, and dementia education. She equips care partners and professionals with practical, respectful tools while fostering dignity, understanding, and meaningful connection.

For Heather, this work is both a profession and a calling—supporting families with compassion and confidence through life’s most tender transitions.
