Meet Heather
"The more I learn, the more I realize there are many, many layers to health - the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic layers profoundly affect a person's well-being. Our sleep patterns, relationships, stress levels, how we move our bodies, and what we put in and on our bodies can strengthen or deplete our health. It's the small, everyday choices that create our health."
Hello! I'm a passionate and dedicated Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach that is committed to guiding individuals on their journey to optimal health and wellness through personalized, holistic approaches. I integrate evidence-based Functional Medicine principles with a compassionate, client-centered approach to address the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.
My journey into Functional Medicine was inspired by a personal health transformation in my late 20’s. After years of suffering with undiagnosed food allergies, GI issues, skin problems, and asthma, I sought the help of a holistic doctor. Witnessing firsthand the profound impact of diet and lifestyle changes, I became fascinated by the power of “food as medicine” and the ability to improve health and well-being through the daily choices I make and the habits, good or bad that I perpetuate.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am a Functional Medicine Health Coach through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, one of the most respected programs in the field; and I hold national board certification through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching. I am also a Certified Family Constellations Coach through completion of a two-year training program with the New England Center for Systemic Constellations; a Freedom Fertility Formula Specialist, which focuses on addressing the emotional and mind-body aspects of fertility challenges; and have studied Women’s Health under Dr. Aviva Romm at the New Medicine for Women Institute.
In conjunction with the Functional Medicine approach, I incorporate functional nutrition, Motivational Interviewing, counseling and emotional support, behavioral change strategies, Mind-Body techniques, and stress and lifestyle management into the coaching experience. I love co-creating tailored wellness plans with my clients that empower them to take control of their health. As a result, my coaching clients experience improved physical, mental, and emotional health and are better equipped to take on life's challenges.
