Heather McPaul
As a U.S. Navy veteran, licensed professional counselor, business owner, practice coach, and certified grant writer, I bring a combination of organized clinical insight, business operational experience, and grant writing expertise to support wellness-focused organizations seeking funding. With more than a decade of experience in trauma-informed care, I understand the culture of mental health services and the importance of offering varied, meaningful support. That perspective helps me translate a program’s value into the language of funders in a clear and persuasive way. My military background strengthened the discipline, organization, time management, and communication skills that support my ability to manage deadlines, coordinate complex projects, and deliver polished grant materials. I help wellness organizations tell their story clearly and secure the funding they need to expand their reach and impact.
