Heather Foster (born December 20, 1966) is a Jamaican-born American professional bodybuilder.
Heather Foster was born in 1966 in Kingston, Jamaica. She has two brothers and one sister. Her parents migrated to Jamaica, Queens, New York City, New York, when she was two and half years old. She was always a very active child, not wanting to make potholders in Girl Scouts, but rather go outside and play stick ball, basketball and sprint against the boys. She has always been into sports: participating in competitive high school and college track & field, and playing junior high school, high school and college basketball.
Heather, her sister, and younger brother all started playing in the church basketball league after their father insisted they did. She studied classical piano for 10 years, performing in numerous concerts as a young girl. She filled in at church, and often played for a few gospel group engagements. In junior high school and high school, she joined the chorus. She joined the high school chorus as a sophomore. Her teacher saw a gift in me and decided to sign me up to audition for New York State Voice. They were only accepting 300 students from various New York high schools, and she was selected with a score of 99 out of 100. While in high school, our church choir competed in, and won the 3rd annual McDonald's Gospelfest, which awarded us the opportunity to perform in two concerts at the famed Apollo Theater, where she performed one and a half leads for both scheduled performances. Due to vocal inactivity, she is not as good as she used to be.
After high school, Heather attended to City College of New York where she studied physical education, and LaGuardia Community College, where she studied physical therapy. She has been practicing physical therapy since 1991, spending 9 years working for a reputable institution, specializing in sports medicine and rehabilitation. She also has experience in geriatric and pediatric physical therapy. She regularly give seminars in health, fitness, and training for a wide variety of individuals: staff, students, professors, artists, dancers, martial artists, and more.
