Meet Your Agent

Heidi Downing

Hi, I'm Heidi, founder of Everly Escapes, passionate advocate for mental wellness, and a firm believer in the healing power of intentional travel. With nearly 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I've helped thousands of people explore the world, but what I've come to value most is the kind of travel that brings you back to yourself. My journey has been shaped by love, resilience, and a deep understanding of mental health. I've spent years walking alongside those navigating emotional challenges, and I've learned that healing isn't linear, it's layer, personal, and often sparked by the simplest moments of peace and connection. I created Everly Escapes to offer more than vacations. I want to build experiences that honor the heart behind the traveler, whether you're a caregiver in need of rest, someone seeking clarity, or a family looking to reconnect. Every escape is designed with empathy, purpose, and a touch of magic, because I know how powerful it is to feel seen, supported and restored. When I'm not curating escapes, you'll find me researching natural wellness remedies, designing creative systems to teach life skills, or writing poetry that reflects the beauty and complexity of the human experience, or simply spending time with my family and friends, the people who keep me grounded, inspired and full of joy. I bring my whole heart to everything I do and I am honored to help others do the same. "Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show." Anonymous
