About Heather
I have been a Registered Dietitian for the past 15 years, specializing in women's health, fertility, pregnancy & postpartum as well as pediatrics. I am passionate about helping people achieve a healthy pregnancy and am a strong advocate for breastfeeding. I believe childhood creates a unique opportunity to lay a foundation towards better health in adulthood. I began my professional career as a WIC Dietitian. I live in Colorado with my husband and two elementary-aged kids. I love to get outside often and enjoy the Colorado sunshine. I prioritize volunteering and enjoy participating in various activities around my kids' school. I really enjoy cooking and you can often find me looking for new recipes to try and teaching my kids new skills in the kitchen.
Approach to care
I became a Registered Dietitian for my love of food! Food is so much more than energy: it is culture, flavors, history and an important part of who you are. My desire is to help you achieve your health goals, starting with nutrition. Working alongside me, you can improve your relationship with food, learn how to eat intuitively, plan your meals (which can also save you money), and stay accountable towards your health goals. As a mom of young kids, I can relate to the demands of parents and understand how easy it is to put your own health needs on the back-burner. I recognize how important your time is. My goal for you is to feel your best whether that means getting to a healthier weight, improving your energy, or navigating nutrition recommendations or concerns for your young and/or growing family.
Your first session with Heather
I am here to support you. I am upbeat, personable and realistic. I will meet you where you are at. I am proud of you for taking this first step towards improving your health. Initially, sessions will be focused on hearing about who you are, what matters most to you and what your goals are. From there, we will take the time to dive deeper and create a personalized plan that meets your needs with achievable steps. I believe anyone can meet their goals with commitment and accountability.
