About Heather

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I honor each individual's unique relationship with food and cultural background. I'm passionate about providing nutrition education that considers not just physical health but also emotional, social, and environmental well-being. I also have a keen interest in culinary medicine and offer many options to help you become a confident home cook.

Approach to care

I offer personalized nutrition plans to support your health goals. I'm here with evidence-based guidance on balanced diets, intuitive eating, meal planning, and education to ensure your meals are nourishing and joyful. Anyone seeking support and guidance in optimizing their health, and well-being can benefit from working with me. This includes individuals looking to address specific health concerns, manage medical conditions through nutrition, navigate dietary restrictions or allergies, promote healthy eating habits for children, or enhance overall wellness.

Your first session with Heather

I'll focus on understanding your individual needs and concerns. We will explore your medical history, relationship with food, and any challenges or obstacles you may be experiencing. Together, we will begin to map out your nutrition-related goals, and identify key next steps.
