ELP_3872 Heather R. HEADSHOTS Jul.25

If you’re a dietitian practicing (or moving toward) weight-inclusive care and finding that sessions feel harder to hold than they used to, you’re in the right place.

I’m Heather, a weight-inclusive dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor®, and Body Trust® Specialist.
For over 15 years, I’ve supported clients in rebuilding trust with their bodies and supported fellow RDs through supervision as they navigate the complexity of this work.

If you’re here because:

  • You’re questioning how to handle weight-loss requests without abandoning your values
  • You’re feeling the limits of scripts, templates, or “doing it right”
  • You want support that helps you think, feel, and respond more clearly in sessions

For Clients:

Nutrition Therapy

Maybe you’ve tried every diet… or even tried giving up dieting.

Maybe you want to trust your body, but anxiety, guilt, or confusion about what’s “healthy” keep getting in the way.

Here, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to unlearn diet culture, make peace with food, and feel more at home in your body.

My promise to you:

No meal plans.
No shame.
No “eat this, not that.”
Just compassion, curiosity, and a partnership that honors your body’s wisdom.

Client Testimonials

 "I really wanted to work with someone who would help me address the underlying issues that were driving my eating habits versus a cookie cutter diet plan. Heather was very compassionate and non-judgemental, which allowed me to be honest about my struggles. She offered specific, practical strategies to guide me towards a more mindful relationship with food, and a more loving perspective toward my body. I can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to succeed!”

-Cara I

"I had been struggling with an eating disorder for years, so my goal overall was to have a healthy relationship with food, and I am proud to say that I truly feel we have accomplished that. For anyone in a similar position, or someone just wanting guidance in their daily intake, I highly recommend Heather. She sets up a sustainable change that does not feel like a chore, but a progression forward toward your own defined goals. I without a doubt would not be where I am mentally and physically without her help along the way, and I cannot thank her enough.”

-Sydney M

”Heather is a crucial part of my recovery and has given me hope that long-term peace with food is possible. I have never felt more comfortable or understood by a dietician. I have learned so much about HAES, how to recognize diet-culture and concrete steps to start my journey of intuitive eating. I was stuck in a restriction-binge cycle and had really reached rock bottom with dieting. I have made so much progress while working with Heather and I am not nearly as consumed with obsessive thoughts about food. I highly recommend Heather if you are ready to start the journey to food freedom. She is inclusive, experienced, and always helps me to see that there is another way.”

- Katie D

“I was feeling depressed about my weight, and my ability to stick to a diet plan. I spoke to my doctor and they suggested I seek out a nutritionist. I saw Heather was local and accepted my insurance. I was nervous that a nutritionist would give me a long list of foods I couldn’t eat but Heather made me feel comfortable right away and instead of giving me a list of rules, she taught me how to include more home cooked meals, add in exercise and even talked about ways to manage stress. I would recommend Heather to anyone who wants a nutritionist who looks at the whole picture and helps you adopt a healthier lifestyle.”
