“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.

NEW SERVICE!!
Private Chef
There’s a misconception that becoming healthier requires a complete overhaul of your diet and lifestyle… overnight. The reality is, trying to change even one aspect of your life can be challenging and time consuming.
You may have been told you need to eat better. You may have already started! However, with your busy life, it can take time before you’re able to stick to it.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a medical condition and advised to avoid certain foods but don’t know where to start, this can also cause disheartenment.
As a private chef, I work with clients, ordering groceries, cooking and prepping meals, and providing nutritional guidance and cooking tips. And, don’t worry, I also do the dishes afterwards!
My background in health & nutrition allows me to tailor meals to specific dietary preferences, restrictions, and/or medical conditions. For example:
gluten-free
dairy-free
allergy-friendly (no eggs, soy, nuts, etc.)
AIP (Autoimmune Paleo)
vegetarian and/or vegan
low sugar/carb diets for Candida, SIBO, etc.
low acid (for people with acid reflux and GERD)
hormone balancing/thyroid health
low-FODMAP, specific carbohydrate diet, GAPS, etc. to mitigate GI symptoms
Ketogenic
Blood sugar balancing
Meals for liver and adrenal support
Diets to improve anxiety and mental health
Meals for brain health and more energy
Meals for weight loss
Personalized to you
No matter what your goals, I work with you in manageable and personalized ways that account for your unique needs. I provide an open, non-judgmental space to explore, and address any blockages getting in the way of change.
Client Testimonial:
“Heather is such a beautiful soul. She immediately puts you at ease with her calm demeanor and incredible ability to hold space during a session. I always get so much out of my time with her. I’m often amazed at what I come up with during our sessions, and I find myself in such a place of inspiration after we meet. She has really helped me to transform and make progress on my writing goals. Heather is a gem and I so highly recommend that you connect with her and see for yourself!”

A holistic approach
You are a holistic being, where no two parts of you or your life are separate from one another. In health coaching and writing, we explore that many facets of you, the root of your blockages, rather than just “treating the symptoms” and working one-dimensionally.
Client Testimonial:
"I used to have chronic cluster headaches, so I went to Heather for help. My headaches were often triggered by me not listening to my body, so I knew I needed someone like Heather who was attentive to my story. With her help, I was able to adjust my lifestyle in a way that was true to me and bring myself back into my body. I have been headache free for 4 years now and I believe it was Heather's coaching that helped get me here today."

How I coach
My coaching style is collaborative—we work together to find solutions and experiment with different approaches. You’ll be steering and I’ll be guiding.
I offer one-on-one, ongoing support for individuals and groups.
Client Testimonial:
“Heather doesn’t pretend to be perfect or have it all figured out, which is what I loved about working with her. For every gem she imparted on me, I knew it was coming from a place of having been there herself. She always reminded me that we are all works in progress, and not to get too attached to my pain, because we are continually growing and healing, even if it’s hard to see in that moment.”

MORE TESTIMONIALS
“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.”
- Jen P
“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!”
