Heather Patton

Founder of Healing Self Compass

Master NLP Practitioner | Trauma-Recovery Specialist | Survivor | Advocate

My story didn’t begin in a classroom or a certification program — it began in survival.

For more than twenty years, I lived inside an emotionally, physically, and psychologically abusive relationship with a narcissistic partner. I know what it feels like to be silenced, minimized, blamed, isolated, and reshaped into someone you barely recognize. I know what it’s like to lose yourself while trying to save a relationship that was never meant to be saved.

I also know what it takes to walk away — and rebuild your entire life from the ashes.

My healing journey became the foundation for Healing Self Compass, a practice built on truth, compassion, education, and the unwavering belief that survivors can rise higher than they ever imagined. I learned how to reclaim my voice, my identity, my stability, my confidence, and my self-worth — and now I help others do the same.

This is the heart of Healing Self Compass:

Truth

Clarity

Strength

Reclamation

A return to self

A rise that cannot be undone
