About Heather

Hey there! My name’s Heather- it’s great to meet you. I’m a registered dietitian who specializes in diabetes management (all types welcome, but I especially enjoy working with Type 1s), nutrition support (including tube feeding and parenteral nutrition), and vegan/vegetarian nutrition. I enjoy working with individuals at all levels of nutrition knowledge to help them better understand their bodies, set realistic goals, and work toward meaningful progress. I'm also happy to review lab values with you (blood sugars, A1c, or anything else you've gotten checked recently) to help guide individualized care and support evidence-based recommendations. Whether you're newly diagnosed, managing a long-term condition, or just curious about general plant-based eating, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Approach to care

My approach to care is client-centered and evidence-based. I believe that nutrition care should be collaborative, grounded in science, but personalized to fit your unique goals and preferences. I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard and empowered to make informed decisions about your health.

Your first session with Heather

In your first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other. I want to learn more about your lifestyle, your health journey, and what's important to you. I’ll also share a bit about myself so you can feel comfortable and supported in our work together. If you have any lab values (like CGM data, log books, or recent labs), feel free to bring those along! They can give us helpful insight as we build your nutrition plan. We’ll talk through your current habits, explore your goals, and identify a few areas to focus on as we move forward. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling more comfortable using this service and having a clearer understanding of your next steps.
