About Heather
Hi, I'm Heather. With 20 years as a Registered Dietitian, I blend science with warmth to help people nourish their lives. I studied Nutrition at Concordia College in Moorehead, MN, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. My clinical outpatient experience shapes my practical, evidence-based approach, and I hold CDCES, LDN, and RDN credentials. I bring my full, human self to every session and I strive to meet you where you are.
Approach to care
I specialize in diabetes care and the integration of technology to support meaningful, sustainable behavior change. I practice with an evidence-based, empathetic, and collaborative spirit. I believe health grows from sustainable habits built in partnership. My approach centers on behavior, not a number on the scale, and I translate current nutrition science into clear, practical steps you can use every day. I see you as a whole person and I strive to educate you about nutrition so you can make informed decisions that fit your life. Together, we'll build knowledge, confidence, and routines that last.
Your first session with Heather
Our first appointment is a welcoming conversation. We'll review your medical history, lab work or biometrics, and your eating patterns, and we'll establish short-term goals you can actually achieve. This is a chance to share what matters most to you. We'll discuss concerns, preferences, and your daily life, and together we'll create a personalized plan and a practical meal strategy tailored to your unique rhythm. I'm excited to partner with you on sustainable changes.

Hobbies
Outside of the clinic, I love outdoor adventures with my three Jack Russells, travel, trying new recipes, sewing, reading, and cozy movie nights with family and friends.
