Heather Edwards
Heather a Myrtle Beach native. At the age of 8 she was diagnosed with a visual impairment called cone dystrophy that has allowed her to become legally blind. However, she is a thriving independent individual who is deeply involved and connected to her local community. She is the South Carolina Chapter President of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, helping others who are visually impaired to find community and resources. You can find her volunteering for various local nonprofits, or working her full time job of Finance Manager for a national nonprofit, remotely in the comfort of her home. Deeply connected to the local spiritual community, she teaches yoga and has recently become certified in Adaptive Yoga so that she can fulfill her dream of making the practice accessible to everyone. She is on a life journey of healing the limiting beliefs that were instilled in her at a young age by creating her own narrative and reality about who she is and what she's capable of.
