Introduction

I've been in nutrition for years. I tend to be a 'last resort' when someone has struggled with finding answers to their symptoms or nutrition problems. Other dietitians ask me questions when things get tough. Food is medicine. I use kitchen herbs and spices, fermented foods, and simple cooking techniques to make healthy choices taste as good as they feel. I use a whole household approach when it makes sense. I love working with children and families. Some of my favorite opportunities are working with selective eaters (picky) -often sensory issues, ARFID, or anxieties. I also have had excellent experiences working with families of chronically ill children, who may eat orally or via a tube, to maximize health and minimize symptoms. I have additional training in adverse food reactions. I've helped hundreds of people negotiate food allergies and intolerances. We can figure out good substitutes and strategies to eat around allergies. Some intolerances can be exercised into being less severe or even resolved - not all. I do not peddle weight loss. I seldom suggest a supplement. We work together to take the way you are eating towards the next step. I'm licensed in Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Check with your insurance, you may be able to submit for reimbursement. I'm Registered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietitics.

Cheaper than seeing someone through my insurance but I'm still going to submit it. Very helpful, definitely worth it. I feel like the info I got from my doctor was useless and confusing. Heather explained everything and helped me figure out how to make changes that are doable.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Sliding scales for low income. Honor system. I'm a solo mom, so I know how hard it can be to make ends meet and get the help you need!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially, I'll try to find out what your 'normal' eating patterns are and how you like (or would like to eat). Then I'll start by explaining the basics of where we're going that integrates where you are and comfortable steps towards how you should be eating. If we're working with an allergy, I'll figure out how we can least modify your life while still enjoying favorites. If we're working with picky kids - there may be a number of steps to get where we're headed. I like to include the child in the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a master's degree in nutrition from Colorado State University and undergraduate degrees from Life University and Tufts University. I'm licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont. You can submit an invoice to your insurance company for reimbursement - depending on your coverage if you live in a state where I'm licensed. I've worked as a NICU dietitian, inpatient and outpatient. I have specialized additional training in food allergies, selective eating, pediatrics, and enteral feeding.
