About Heather

Food and curiosity have kept me in this field for 26 years. With a BS in Dietetics from the University of Georgia, I practice as an RD and LD and have cared for patients in hospitals, community health programs, and an outpatient dialysis clinic. I love helping people translate medical recommendations into meals that actually fit their lives. When I am not working I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening, watching football, shopping, and spending time with family. I bring enthusiasm and practicality to every visit, and I enjoy teaching how nutrition can support your health goals.

Approach to care

Nutrition is where science meets the everyday. I use evidence-based guidance to create clear, practical steps we can try together, while keeping the conversation compassionate and judgment-free. I focus on sustainable habits, not quick fixes, and approach care from a weight-neutral perspective that honors the whole person, including mental and emotional wellbeing. Education is central, so I aim to explain the why behind recommendations and equip you with skills you can use long term. We set realistic actions, track progress, and adjust as life changes.

Your first session with Heather

Think of our first visit as a relaxed conversation that helps us build a roadmap together. We'll review your medical history and medications, discuss current routines and challenges, and identify short-term goals that feel doable. You do not need to have everything figured out before we meet, this is a judgment-free space. I’ll listen, answer your questions, and leave you with a clear first step or two so we can move forward together with confidence.
