Heather (Tingle) Chaulk, Board Member

Heather (Tingle) Chaulk is a recent transplant to Pender Island, starting out part time

but moving here fully in November 2024 with her partner Dave once their kids were out

on their own. 

She has been steeped in health care from an early age; she is a third-generation nurse,

and her earliest memories are of her dad’s medical research lab. She began her

professional career as a public health nurse in Terrace and then Chilliwack. Alongside

that she was a clinical supervisor of non-profit youth and sexual health clinics in multiple

communities, and then co-director at the provincial level. As the needs of her family

grew, she retired from nursing but eventually returned to health care work, managing a

busy multidisciplinary health clinic in Surrey. Now, Heather has a small private practice

as a health/life/chronic pain coach and volunteers for Pain BC and Pender’s Native

Plant Nursery.
