Your Freedom

It's all about the choices you make – in your personal life, in love and in business. One of the most important choices is how you safeguard your future and your freedom and how you do the same for the ones you love.

My name is Heather Freed and I help you insure your freedom. I'm an insurance broker and I understand that as a rule, people don't like to think about insurance much. That's probably because it reminds them of all the things in life that aren't pleasant – all the reasons that one needs insurance for in the first place.

My approach to insurance is a little different from other insurance brokers because I believe in a well-planned insurance program.

I provide insurance for business owners to protect their employees and to families to ensure they are taken care of.

Creating an individualized plan is, quite possibly, one of the smartest investments you'll ever make. Unlike a lot of other types of investments, insurance is an excellent defence for the future.
