About

Lamara Heartwell — Founder, OneBody

Hi, I’m Lamara Heartwell. I am an Earth Lover and I’ve always been an Earth Lover. 

I’m someone who has enjoyed being alive in a body and fascinated with our potential as humans. My love for life, the body, and aliveness has led to a curious and passionate lifelong pursuit of what exactly creates optimal health and wellbeing. 

My innate love of dance, movement, and freedom to use my whole body to express myself eventually led to a deep questioning of social norms. I wondered why these social norms, that have led so many people to feel inhibited, disconnected, constrained and shut down in their bodies, are so widely accepted and unchallenged. 

For the past 20 years I’ve pursued education and personal development that has been oriented around how to be more freed up in my body, myself, my expression, and how to support others in doing the same.

I was born into a family of wealth from the oil industry. My great grandfather co-founded Exxon with JD Rockefeller. I was raised to be quiet about this. For many years I carried shame and guilt around my family’s history. Ever since I was 17, which was when I first learned about the negative impacts of the oil industry, I’ve felt a desire and responsibility to be a catalyst for climate awareness and action. .

It’s clear to me now that human health and ecological health are innately connected.

Our social norms teach us to objectify our bodies and treat them poorly. They teach us to treat the earth in a similar way; as an object to exploit, pollute, use and abuse. It is time for a cultural shift. It’s time for all of us to inhabit our bodies and the Earth in a balanced, caring, sustainable way where we truly honor and respect the magnificence of life.

My life journey has inspired the birth of One Body. I’m here to be a disruptor of the old way and passionately stand for a new way. I welcome you to join our community as we stand for our values and create a new culture together.
