Hi, I’m Heather — and I’m so glad you’re here.
Teacher, volunteer, mentor, and the woman with the bright pink nails at your local market.
A lifetime of making a difference
My whole life has been about helping people. I started as a respiratory therapist, then worked as an educational assistant, and went on to become a teacher. Along the way I volunteered on projects from local to national, and served as a leader with Business and Professional Women, both locally and provincially.
When I retired, I knew one thing for sure: I still needed to connect with people — in my community and beyond. So in October 2024, I started Gems on the Go.
What began as a way to meet like-minded people has become so much more. Today you’ll find me at retirement homes, vendor markets, and pop-ups across Ontario, sharing jewelry and skincare I love and having a lot of fun doing it.
Real talk, good laughs, and no pressure
I listen. Tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll find it — and if it’s not on my table, I’ll dig through the catalogue and send you ideas.
I keep it real. If something doesn’t suit you, I’ll tell you. Kindly, but I’ll tell you. I want you to love what you take home.
I’m here for the visit, too. Done shopping and just want to chat? Pull up a chair. I’m always happy to talk.
Let’s Do Some Good Together
Giving back has always been part of who I am, and it’s a big part of how I run my business. I love partnering with schools, clubs, and community groups on fundraisers — in person across Ontario or virtually, wherever you are. If I can build a trip around it, I’m there.
Let’s Support Each Other
Whether you’d like to host a party, join my team, or just say hi, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s see how we can help each other shine.
