Heartwork
Consulting, LLC
Where values meet action, and strategy meets soul.
Heartwork is a practice of deep alignment—a connection to the whole self through intentional grounding and soulful clarity. It honors both the science and spirit of the heart, calling us to embody values that heal and transform: truth, faith, liberation, community, hope, and love.
At its core, Heartwork is about nurturing people and ecosystems with care and integrity. It is an active, disciplined journey that invites us to live our values—not just name them. Because the values at the heart of every individual and organization shape their character, choices, and impact.
Through strategy, learning, intuition, and practice, Heartwork Consulting supports individuals, communities, and organizations in closing the gap between what they believe and how they show up in the world.
“Try to reduce the gap between your values and your actions.”
— Mariame Kaba
