About Heiki

With over 20 years of experience as a registered dietitian, I’ve helped people nourish their bodies and minds across a variety of settings—from corporate wellness and government programs to hospitals and community groups. Whether teaching group classes, leading food demos, or working one-on-one, I believe that nutrition should be practical, enjoyable, and shame-free. My passion lies in helping you feel both nourished and satisfied so that the changes you make can truly last. I meet you where you are—not where you think you “should” be—and guide you toward sustainable, realistic habits that support your health and your love of food. Let’s make nutrition something you look forward to.

Approach to care

I believe meaningful change starts by meeting people where they truly are—not where they think they should be. My approach is deeply individualized, taking into account the whole person and the realities of their everyday life. Together, we’ll explore strategies that make sense for your world, helping you discover a way of eating that feels both nourishing and satisfying. My goal is to support you in building a positive, sustainable relationship with food that fits who you are and how you live.

Your first session with Heiki

Our first session is all about connection. Through relaxed, judgment-free conversation, I’ll get to know you—your day-to-day life, what matters to you, and how you define well-being. I’ll ask about your routines, challenges, values, and preferences so I can understand the full picture. My goal is to walk alongside you as a partner, not as someone handing down rules. Together, we’ll begin shaping a plan that considers all parts of your life—your sleep, stress, work, family, culture, and more—to create meaningful, sustainable change that truly fits you.
