Meet Heather Ford

cultural resume

I was born into a white middle class culture in Ohio, with my family relocating to the southeast region of the US when I was in elementary school. I grew up in an upper middle class family in Georgia until I was 18 years of age then left for college. I have lived in Colorado since the late 1990s. My experience and my family’s experience include living with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, attachment wounds, divorce and chronic physical illnesses.

My privilege includes being white, cis-gender, hetero, able bodied, neurotypical, educated, a citizen, and financially secure.

I continue to work to open to, heal from and evolve beyond my biases, beliefs, tendencies and habits.
