Heidi has been athletic since childhood. She has been active in dance, tennis, synchronized swimming, hatha yoga, the martial arts, pilates, sea-kayaking and surf-kayaking. She is happiest living beside the ocean, as this is where she feels the healthiest, finds the greatest peace of mind, creative inspiration, as well as time for surf kayaking. Heidi has an irresistible bond with marine life which kindles her enthusiasm about her water sports.
