Before moving to Canada, Heidi completed a British Psychiatry Diploma in the United Kingdom. She worked with mental health charities serving vulnerable communities. These roles strengthened her cultural awareness and clinical judgment. She developed experience in trauma and complex emotional cases. She learned the value of patience and structured care across diverse populations.
