Heather Noble, F A C I L I T A T O R

A social service worker for decades my favourite professional roles have been child and family counsellor, and for multiple municipalities, child and youth director.  

Social/ emotional recreation is a passion of mine because it is so versatile in its delivery and it impacts seamlessly through play. I am a book worm, love a great song, windows open and i'm usually on the beach or in the woods.  Cliche maybe, but I do believe children to be our most valuable resource and time spent in support of them feels better spent than anywhere else.

A core pillar of Keeper + Wee programming is fostering connection to nature as a support for social-emotional development and nervous system regulation. Grounding practices are known to support regulation, body awareness, and emotional balance; however, environmental conditions in Ontario can make consistent outdoor access challenging.

Through the generous sponsorship of 

Earthing Canada, grounding mats, adaptors, and testing equipment have been integrated into our programming to ensure safe, effective, and consistent access to grounding practices year-round. This partnership enhances lesson integration and expands children’s opportunities to experience regulation, connection, and embodied learning across seasons.
