This isn’t just professional. It’s personal.

Hi, I’m Heather. A registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counsellor, and someone who spent way too long believing her body was a problem to fix.

Before I built Healthfully Heather, I was deep in the same struggle you’re in now—caught in the trap of chasing control, shrinking my body, and confusing wellness with worthiness.

My story - then vs. now

I started this journey believing nutrition was about willpower and discipline. I followed the rules. I taught them too.

But the further I got into the world of “healthy eating,” the more disconnected I felt—from my body, my instincts, and myself. And the more I saw my clients struggling in exactly the same ways.

It wasn’t until I discovered intuitive eating that everything shifted. Slowly, I stopped measuring my value by my weight. I let go of food guilt. I started listening to my body instead of punishing it. And I began to teach a completely different approach—one rooted in trust, not control.

I’m still on that journey. And I’ll never pretend to have it all figured out. But I know this much: you don’t have to fight your body to be well.

What I believe:

Your worth is not defined by your weight.

You deserve to feel safe in your own skin.

Food is meant to nourish, not punish.

You can trust your body—even if it’s been a while.

This work is hard—but you don’t have to do it alone.
