About Heiki
Hello! My name is Heiki and I have over 15 years of experience as a registered dietitian. I have worked in corporate wellness, government nutrition programs and hospital settings providing group nutrition classes, food demos, one on one educations as well as hospital inpatient care. My passion is helping people find ways to feel nourished AND satisfied to create lasting change. I enjoy making nutrition fun, tasty, and maybe most importantly something you can actually do. My goal is to help you eat and live with less shame and improve health by starting where you are and not where you believe you should be, and ENJOY food.
Approach to care
My approach is to meet people in the space they actually live in. I believe that creating change requires an individual approach that takes into account all aspects of a persons life and finds solution that fit into that life. I enjoy helping people discover nutrition approaches that allow them to feel nourished and satisified.
Your first session with Heiki
In our first meeting we will get to know each other through casual conversation. I will ask questions about how you live your day to day life and what is important to you. I will look for ways that I can walk alongside you as an ally and partner. As we create a plan together I will consider all the aspects of your lifestyle including sleep, stress, job, family, culture, preferences, and more.
