“Heather has changed the quality of my life. I suffered from interwoven physical and mental health issues and my symptoms were overlooked by mainstream medicine. Together, Heather and I kicked off a journey of discovery and recovery that helped me to treat conditions that had been plaguing me for two decades."

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, emotional eating, and digestive issues, however, I welcome clients with any health concerns. My clients are ready to get to the root of their distress, improve their gut health, find abundance in food while on restrictive or therapeutic diets, and find overall balance. During the coaching process, clients:
learn to trust themselves and their bodies
can expect to break negative and restrictive cycles keeping them stuck
improve their mindset and reduce anxiety
Having suffered from digestive disorders for over 20 years, I know what it’s like to be put through the medical system wringer, to be passed from doctor to doctor, left with few answers and even fewer hopes. I know how it feels to have symptoms dismissed and overlooked, not just by family and friends, but by medical professionals - the very people who are supposed to support and advocate for you.
I’ve been given shrugged shoulders by doctors who didn’t have answers for me, bullied into following protocols I wasn’t comfortable with, and reprimanded for challenging doctor recommendations.
Navigating my health struggles on top of the confounding medical system caused severe anxiety and disordered eating. For years I was terrified of eating certain foods for fear of aggravating my symptoms. Amidst the anxiety and overwhelm, I lost touch with my intuition. I doubted my ability to know what’s best for me.
I GET IT!!!
It took a long time to sift through medical advice, family opinion, and social judgment, and prioritize my wisdom.
It wasn't until I became a Health Coach that I discovered a community of like-minded people and practitioners who understood this struggle. With the right support and knowledge, I slowly began to address my health holistically, reduce my anxiety and digestive symptoms, and adopt a more positive mindset.
Now, I’m paying it forward. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I educate, guide, motivate, and support you to make behavioral changes that will improve your health. I provide an open, safe space to explore all aspects of your life and get yourself back into balance. I advocate for you to get the proper testing, diagnosis, treatment, and care from your medical team. Most importantly, I help you learn to trust yourself to make the best decisions for you and your body.

“Right off the bat, Heather got me. I have PCOS and a history of eating disorders, so there was a lot going on. I had worked with therapists, nutritionists and specialists, so I already knew what to do, what to eat, but that’s not what I needed. I needed someone who could listen and help push me and keep me accountable.”

“I first came to see Heather because of my high cholesterol. I thought once I got that under control, that would be the end of my work. Heather helped me develop an eating and lifestyle shift that brought my cholesterol down to a normal range in just a few months.
But before I knew it, I was opening up about my frustrations at home and my dissatisfying job.
I began to see how many seemingly unrelated areas of my life were connected, and how they were all contributing to my overall health. I found it so easy to talk to her about my personal life. Coaching was better than therapy!”
