Founded by Heather Wheeless, Heatherbugliving brings the joy of travel to residents who can no longer travel — through destination storytelling, gentle movement, creative activities, and meaningful conversation.

Let me take you on a journey…
Bringing the world to your residents — and their stories home.
Immersive travel journeys, gentle chair yoga, and family legacy archives for assisted and independent living communities.
A joint offering of LinnaCares & Heatherbugliving
The Program
Travel, movement, and memory — woven into every session.
Each session combines gentle chair yoga, immersive destination video journeys — America the Beautiful, Japan, Mexico and more — facilitated memory activities, and personal video recordings in which residents share cherished memories.
The result is meaningful engagement for residents and a lasting legacy for their families.
Our signature workshop
The America the Beautiful Journey
A creative, travel-inspired adventure across America — no suitcase required. Residents explore famous landmarks, history, and culture through coloring pages, puzzles, passport stamps, and shared reflections, visiting cherished places like the Statue of Liberty, Route 66, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Every workshop weaves in a gentle travel flow — seated warrior poses, mindful breathing, mountain posture, and gentle shoulder rolls, all from comfortable chairs. Everyone moves at their own pace, focusing on connection, not perfection.
