About Heidi

Hi, I'm Heidi, a Registered Dietitian based in Chambersburg, PA, with 30 years of experience guiding people toward healthier relationships with food. I earned my Dietetics degree at the University of Delaware, and my work spans clinical and hospital settings, private practice, and community health. I hold the postnominals RD and LDN as part of who I am as a clinician. When I’m not at the desk or in a patient room, you’ll find me tending my garden, testing new recipes, or enjoying a walk. I love hearing why you eat what you eat and learning your story, because food is central to life for everyone.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on collaboration, compassion, and lasting change. I ground every plan in current evidence while staying firmly focused on you as a whole person. We’ll work together to set realistic, actionable steps that honor HAES and avoid diet culture. My approach is warm and nonjudgmental, with a strong educational strand so you feel confident making choices that fit your life. I aim to empower you with knowledge and practical tools, fostering sustainable habits that endure beyond our sessions.

Your first session with Heidi

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, dive into your relationship with food, and set short term goals. Together we’ll create a practical meal plan and review any labs or biometrics that matter. This is a low pressure, judgment-free conversation, and you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. I’m here to listen and support you as we map clear, doable steps that fit your life and rhythm.
