Heather’s ‘Why?’
1. The Truth Behind the Calm
I didn’t come to this work through a textbook.
I came to it through fire.
I know what it’s like to look like you have it all early on - the career, the image, the accolades, the social scene, the network - while your nervous system is wrecked, your spirit is silent, and your inner world is screaming for something real.
Before I established INNERNESS and became the Phoenix Mentor™… I was a high-achieving overly anxious young woman at the top of the advertising career ladder in the worlds most competitive and famous fashion media brands. The work-hard play-hard identity. Ruthless bully bosses. Cut-throat teams.
I have seen it all. A real life version of The Devil Wears Prada meets Ad Men meets Succession. At times - The Godfather!
Innerness™ was born from that 20 year experience.
Not as a brand.
As a healthy survival instinct.
2. What I Believe
I believe women are shape-shifters.
Not because we’re unstable — but because we’ve had to be all things to everyone.
We shrink to be palatable.
We perform to do the right thing.
We hurt to be beautiful.
We succeed in systems that were never built for us - and we pay for that success with our health, joy, and truth.
In the leadership spotlight at brands like Vogue every gesture carried weight, every silence was strategic. I learned how to read the unsaid, how influence really worked, and to hold my own when someone tried to take me down. That experience shaped me. It taught me to lead with presence, protect my energy, and build power that’s rooted in self-worth — not performance
INNERNESS™ exists to embody that change,
This is where we shape-shift to ourselves.
Not in rebellion — but in remembrance.
Not to fix ourselves — but to reclaim who we were before the world trained us out of our own knowing.
3. The Deep Work I Do
Everything I teach — from nervous system repair to feminine power coaching — has been lived.
I also have the gift of second sight and a profound connection to the unseen. My psychic ability and finely attuned intuition have been with me since childhood.
My work blends:
Energetic healing
Somatic guidance
Business wisdom
And deep feminine insight
Whether you meet me through private meditation as the Phoenix Mentor™, the Authentica Code™, or our Sovereign Studio sessions — this is experience-informed, soul-aligned, and entirely bespoke to your transformation.
This is not a place for performance.
It’s a space for resurrection.
4. For the Woman Reading This
If you’ve ever considered “there must be more to me than this”
If you’ve bent yourself into shapes that don’t fit
If you’re tired of healing on the surface
Then Innerness™ is your mirror, your mentor, your return.
This work is for the woman who is ready to come home to her wholeness.
And I am here to walk with you.
I am not here to "fix"— but to reflect, refine, and reveal.
I am here to lead other women across their threshold.
Not just as a coach. As a mirror. A portal. A permission slip.
The work is sacred. The transformation is cellular.
“We are in a consciousness revolution surrounded by transformative energy, making evolutionary changes that reflect the visionary creative spirit of our time”
Heather Glenny. Founder, INNERNESS.
FAQs

I bring over a decade of experience in working with energy, consciousness, and the subtle architecture of the self — from breath, intuition and heart coherence, to the energetic body and auric field. My work is rooted in helping high-performing individuals clear unseen blocks so they can move from performance to presence, and from success to true alignment.
My career leading advertising teams and consultancy projects at the world’s most iconic fashion media brands was a chapter that taught me how brilliance can turn brittle in unsustainable environments — and it was this lived experience of burnout that catalysed my deeper journey inward.
I trained extensively across Eastern and Western spiritual lineages, from the Buddhist Church to Vedic teachers in India, and through mentorship with shamans and holistic practitioners. What I discovered is that no tradition matters more than the red thread that runs through all of them: a reconnection to self.
I created The INNERNESS™ Frameworks as a response to this — a method of transformation that integrates energetic awareness with modern leadership, helping women who have already achieved on the outside to embody wholeness on the inside.
I also bring an academic foundation in teaching and coaching, which has equipped me to mentor at every level — but it is my lived experience, intuitive capacity, and deep reverence for transformation that inform the heart of my work.
This isn’t about fixing. It’s about remembering who you were before the performance began.

Transformation begins by moving beyond the thinking mind — and into the body’s deeper intelligence. I guide women who are used to operating at high speed and high stakes into a more resourced, regulated state where clarity, intuition, and true change can emerge.
Through my signature INNERNESS™ methods — rooted in energetic conditioning, nervous system recalibration, and modern meditation techniques — I help you drop performance patterns and connect with the power stored in your heart, gut, and auric field.
This isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about inhabiting it more fully — with presence, truth, and coherence.
Custom meditative protocols and energy tools are tailored specifically to your life stage, nervous system, and leadership path. Many of my clients have tried meditation before, but never felt personally connected to it. INNERNESS™ changes that. It creates immediate access to deep states, even for those with the busiest minds.
On a broader scale, I also collaborate with my extended INNERNESS_ASHRAM community — a trusted circle of transformational practitioners — to deliver bespoke work inside organisations, collectives, and purpose-led groups.

Two of my greatest teachers have been duality and attachment — and I return to their lessons again and again, in ever-deepening spirals.
We live in a world wired for duality: success or failure, right or wrong, more or less. But from an energetic and spiritual perspective, everything is one. I’ve learned that personal freedom is often born in the spaces we once labelled negative — loss, uncertainty, ego deaths. These moments are not setbacks, but invitations to expand beyond the binary.
The concept of attachment, particularly in Buddhist practice, has shaped much of my inner work. In the West, we’re conditioned to grip tightly to outcomes — relationships, identities, even healing itself. True transformation often begins with the ability to let things be what they are, and to create space between who we are and what we think we need.
That’s where practices like meditation become essential — not just for peace, but for recalibrating desire. Detachment is not apathy; it’s energetic clarity. In my work, I support women to create personalised detachment strategies — not as spiritual bypass, but as a pathway to true power and self-possession.
Another foundational learning has been this: awareness is medicine. Consciousness itself is curative. When we bring attention to a pattern, belief, or wound — we begin to shift it. This is why deep meditative states, subconscious inquiry, and energetic integration sit at the heart of my method.

Make it your mission to peel away the layers that were never truly yours.
The expectations, the image, the roles that once helped you belong or succeed — they carry an invisible weight. And while they may have built your outer world, they rarely nourish your inner one. Transformation begins when you start prioritising internal alignment over external approval.
My number one piece of advice?
Dedicate yourself to the process of returning to your true self. Not just occasionally — but as a lifestyle, a rhythm, a non-negotiable. The more intention you invest inward, the more clarity, vitality, and power you generate outward.Mental and energetic wellness are still undervalued in a society obsessed with image and output. Yet science, ancient wisdom, and lived experience now all agree: the real work — the kind that brings peace, longevity, and presence — begins with the inner systems. The breath. The nervous system. The heart–gut–mind connection. The truth beneath the performance.
You don’t need to renounce your life to access this. You just need a moment of stillness, a willingness to listen, and practices that return you to your original frequency. This is where my guided meditations and INNERNESS™ techniques come in — not to add more pressure, but to release it.
In the spiritual world, time doesn’t exist.
In the physical world?
“The problem is, we think we have time.”
— Jack Kornfield -
One of my greatest transformations — and the catalyst for everything I now teach — came in my early 30s, a time in my career leading advertising teams at iconic fashion titles like Vogue and GQ. From the outside, it looked like success. But inside, I was burning out.
Behind the performance was unprocessed trauma, imposter syndrome, and a nervous system pushed far beyond its limits. Anxiety eventually gave way to depression — and while that descent was painful, it became the beginning of my return. A spiritual rupture that led me to rebuild, not just recover.
What saved me wasn’t medication, but a radical commitment to a new way of living: guided meditation, energetic healing, holistic therapies, and the courage to let go of the relationships, habits, and professional identities that no longer served me.
I learned that burnout is not weakness — it’s information. And when we stop pushing through and start listening, it can become a portal into wholeness, clarity, and deep sovereignty.
Today, I still consult in the fashion and media worlds — but from a grounded place of alignment, no longer seeking to perform or please. I work with high-achieving women who are used to holding it all together — and are now ready to hold themselves.
This is why INNERNESS™ exists: to offer a new path forward for women who don’t need saving — they need space to remember, recalibrate, and rise.
