Meet Heather
I’m Heather McKendry
Guide, facilitator, and fellow wanderer
Heather created Saunterly from personal experience, time spent walking slowly in nature. She believes that meaningful connection often begins when we slow down enough to notice what’s around us — and within us.
Through guided experiences in nature, she creates space for reflection, conversation, emotional presence, and reconnection with the natural world.
Her approach is gentle, grounded, and rooted in the idea that there is no destination to reach here — only an invitation to walk a little more slowly together.
Whether in one-on-one or group saunterings, Heather hopes each experience offers a sense of calm, openness, and belonging.

Christine // Grief Saunter Experience
I entered the Grief Saunter not knowing what to expect. Heather's warmth and acceptance made it easy to trust the process and simply be present. The experience planted seeds that revealed themselves over time, helping me recognize and work through grief I hadn't fully seen. Looking back, the impact has been far greater than I could have imagined. Thank you, Heather, for your kind soul and sharing it with the world.
