About Heidi

Hi, I’m Heidi—a Registered Dietitian and busy mom of two energetic boys. Between juggling kid sports, endless snacks, and everyday chaos, I know firsthand that nutrition has to be simple and realistic to stick. With 15 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient care, I’ve worked with people managing everything from diabetes and heart disease to digestive issues and recovery nutrition. My passion is helping people feel confident in their food choices by breaking nutrition down into small, doable steps that fit real life (yes, even carpool life!). I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. My approach is personalized, evidence-based, and collaborative—focused on realistic, sustainable changes that support long-term health. In our first session, I’ll get to know your story, routines, and priorities, then we’ll set 1–2 clear goals so you leave with a plan, encouragement, and a sense of direction.

Approach to care

My approach is individualized, evidence-based, and collaborative. I focus on realistic, sustainable changes that fit into daily life while supporting long-term health. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their care.

Your first session with Heidi

My approach is practical and personal—I don’t hand out cookie-cutter plans or expect perfection. Instead, I focus on small, realistic changes that fit into your actual daily life (yes, even the busy, messy parts). Everything we do is backed by evidence, but also tailored to you—your goals, your preferences, and what feels doable right now. I aim to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable, encouraged, and in charge of your own progress.
