Biography for Heather Whelan, CHt
Heather Whelan is a Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt), Certified Professional Coach (CPC), NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), and author with nearly two decades of experience helping individuals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers navigate the internal and external factors that shape success, performance, and personal fulfillment.
Before expanding her work into coaching and hypnotherapy, Heather built a career in consulting, with a focus on financial operations, workflow management, business strategy, organizational performance, and leadership development. Working closely with business owners, professionals, and leaders gave her firsthand insight into the pressures of high-performance environments and raised a question that would eventually reshape her work: Why do capable, motivated people sometimes struggle to act in alignment with what they know they want?
She saw that knowledge and strategy were often only part of the equation. Self-talk, emotional conditioning, learned responses, assumptions, and deeply held beliefs could influence confidence, decision-making, performance, relationships, and behavior in ways that were not always consciously recognized. Her desire to better understand that gap between intention and action ultimately led her to hypnotherapy and the study of subconscious processes.
Today, through Complete 180 Coaching & Hypnotherapy, Heather combines hypnotherapy, coaching, NLP, brain entrainment, cognitive reframing, and wellness-based approaches to help clients move beyond insight alone and create meaningful, sustainable change. Her work is especially suited to clients who are ready to better understand what may be influencing them beneath the surface and develop a more intentional way of thinking, responding, and moving forward. Whether the goal involves confidence, relationships, wellness, leadership, performance, personal growth, or professional success, Heather helps clients reconnect with their own capacity for change and create success on their own terms.

Experience
Heather brings nearly two decades of experience in consulting, leadership development, coaching, performance, and wellness. As a consultant, she has worked with business owners, professionals, and leaders navigating significant change, complex challenges, and high-stakes decisions. Her work has often centered on helping people think clearly under pressure, lead more intentionally, and align their decisions with both their goals and the kind of leader they want to be.
Heather has also taught Leadership and Advanced Leadership at the college level, with a focus on communication, decision-making, accountability, self-awareness, and intrapersonal development. Her work reflects a longstanding interest in how our internal experiences shape the way we lead, perform, communicate, and relate to others.
Earlier in her career, Heather worked as a personal trainer, where she developed a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and the role that mindset, self-belief, focus, and emotional regulation can play in physical performance.
She is also the author of Internal Dynamics: Mastering Leadership from the Inside Out, which explores how internal patterns influence decision-making, leadership, communication, relationships, and performance.
Together, these experiences give Heather a multidisciplinary perspective on change and allow her to work with clients across personal, professional, leadership, and performance goals.
