Hi! I’m Heather, an anti-diet and weight neutral registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with an office located in Pennsylvania. I am currently accepting clients who are ready to give up dieting forever, feel more comfortable in the body they are in now and want to repair their relationship with food. I am accepting…
Today, I want to to talk about “doing the work”. One part of Intuitive Eating that can be so challenging is we have to put in the work, sometimes for months or years before we really start to see a shift in our wellbeing, our relationship with food and our body image. That can be…
Something that has been coming up quite a bit lately is the idea of being weighed as a matter of course whenever you go to a doctor (even a specialist – such as a dermatologist). Many of my clients have had bad experiences in the past or continue to be triggered by being weighed. If…
It’s the season for gratitude, and while we may find it easy to find gratitude in our day to day- having gratitude towards are bodies doesn’t always come naturally. Think about it, our culture can make body acceptance feel impossible even on the best of days, so gratitude can sometimes feel like a stretch! So,…
October is Women’s Health (Wellbeing) month. When we think of health, self care might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but I want to highlight it as a vital piece to your wellbeing. Here is a question I get asked frequently… Heather, how can I make self care, a priority when… (fill…
Want to know something funny… last year, around this time I declared that 2020 would be “the year of Heather.” That’s right, I decided to live from the heart. Oh it sounded so good in my head! I would do less “shoulding” and more of what made me truly happy. I would finally hire the…
Hey there! Thank for joining me for part 2 of my self care journey. (If you missed part 1, you may want to go back and read last month’s blog) It’s been about a month and here are three things I have learned: Self care isn’t just about bubble baths and manicures. Although those are…
I have a confession to make… I’m terrible at self care. Oh don’t get me wrong, I know what self care is supposed to look like, I just have trouble getting myself to do it. For many years, I never considered it at all. I was busy with classes, studying, hanging out with friends and…
Do you find yourself thinking, “I need to lose weight to get healthy”? Unfortunately, most of us have internalized this message to some extent. Often times, my clients are so ashamed of their body size it takes all the courage they can muster just to come see me, (an anti-diet dietitian). I can’t blame them….
As we move into a more “normal” way of life, it’s hard to believe that many of us had been under a SAH order for 12 plus weeks. I don’t know about you, but my emotions ran the gamut of: Wait, what? (March) To okay, I can work with this, (April) this isn’t so bad,…
Do you find yourself thinking, I need to lose weight to get healthy? Unfortunately, I hear this time and time again in my office. Often times, my clients are so ashamed of their body size it takes all the courage they can muster just to make an appointment, not alone to come see me. They…
It’s January, that means full steam ahead for the diet industry! We are being bombarded, literally attacked by commercials, print ads, billboards and even friends and family all talking about the latest diet- which isn’t a diet but a “lifestyle” thank you very much! It’s as though everyone’s New Year’s Resolutions have to include starting…
