Hi there! I’m Heather Rudalavage, RDN LDN, a weight inclusive, fat positive, Health At Every Size (HAES) dietitian, Certified Body Trust Provider and Certified Intuitive Eating (IE) Counselor. I founded Intuitive Nutrition in 2009.
I have been practicing IE for over 10 years, long before it became popular on social media. I want to gently and effectively guide you to a place of peace.
Whether you have an abundant body, a starved body, both or anywhere in between… Whether your body struggles have been a lifelong issue or a more recent concern, I want to help you to focus on feeling good in your body, rather than the number on the scale.

For more than a decade, I have worked with many types of clients with a variety of health concerns. Helping my clients achieve their nutrition goals and feel good every step of the way is the most rewarding part of my work! I strive to help my clients reject diet culture so they can find peace when it comes to their body.
Are you ready to:
Ditch dieting and the guilt and shame that comes with the inevitable weight gain?
Allow yourself the freedom to start eating whatever you want without the guilt?
Find a balance between food and exercise?
Work with a healthcare provider who respects all sizes and shapes?
Start working towards a healthier, happier, more self-confident YOU?
Then you are in the right place.
I am known for being anti-diet, body positive, weight-inclusive, kind, and compassionate. I am here to tell you that the number on the scale does not determine your worth. Body positivity starts by building a relationship with your body - Let’s stop telling our body that it’s all their fault and begin to listen to her side of the story.
Client Testimonial
“I am grateful to have Heather on my team! Her knowledge and skills as an intuitive eating nutritionist have helped me cope with disordered eating. Heather is genuine, caring, and supportive. I especially appreciate the fact that she is open to discussing my recovery from alcohol. Her gentle approach has encouraged me to make consistent progress in my recovery since our first session. I highly recommend Heather’s coaching services for anyone interested in exploring their relationship with food. ”

When I’m not helping people relax around food and their body, I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 kids who are, sadly, barely kids anymore.
My hobbies include:
traveling, (over 20 countries so far and counting), enjoying nature, baking, painting or knitting. I’m also currently writing a novel which takes place in Ireland circa 1950.
More importantly, and the reason you're here, I’m a weight inclusive, health at every size dietitian.
That means I won’t ever recommend that you lose weight in order to achieve better health. But, if you want to lose weight, that’s ok too. Come in, let’s chat.
Perhaps you’re hesitant to see a dietitian because you have had traumatic experiences with medical professionals in the past?
My promise to you is that I do everything from a place of compassion and empathy.
Let’s begin your journey to a place of peace, well-being, and happiness.
Be well,
