About Heather

Hi, I'm Heather! I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified lactation counselor with a Master of Science in Nutrition & Human Performance and over six years of experience delivering evidence-based nutrition counseling in virtual and community settings. I partner with clients of all ages—adults, older adults, children, and families—to build sustainable, enjoyable eating patterns.

Approach to care

My Approach: All foods fit — I believe every dish has a place on your plate, and we’ll work together to build a flexible, guilt-free relationship with food that feels authentic to you. Collaborative goal setting — I partner with you to set meaningful, achievable steps that honor your values and fit seamlessly into your daily life. Data-driven insight — I use telehealth tools and your own feedback to monitor what’s working, fine-tune your plan, and celebrate each milestone. Compassionate support — I create a welcoming, judgment-free space where your questions are encouraged and your successes truly matter.
