I’m wachtergrrl aka Heidi Wachter.
I’m passionate about dogs, health and wellness, travel and adventure, music, art, culture, politics, psychology, mindfulness, bicycles, bird song, starry skies, unbeaten paths, vinyl records, social justice, solving the climate crisis, and projects that serve the greater good.
I take ideas from strategy to story.
I’m an award-winning journalist, freelance writer, editor, and a contributing editor for Experience Life magazine, and have been published at Shondaland.com, Treehugger.com, Hunker.com, The Spruce, betterpet.com, Finance and Commerce magazine, the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality & Healing's Mandala magazine, and Inside History magazine among others.
I also assist start-ups, small business owners, non-profits, and companies such as the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Hazelden Betty Ford Center, Anthem, Inc., AndHealth, the American Academy of Neurology, The Compassion Museum, and Rick Kupchella's ie Network with writing, editing, editorial direction, learning design, fact-checking, UX, research, project and production management, and web, digital, and social media strategy and implementation.
I have experience in marketing, UX, SEO, social media, digital content strategy, editorial direction, and content management.
I build, lead, and train successful teams. I deliver multi-million dollar projects on time — and on budget.
