She helps clients to set realistic objective- and behavior-based goals, develop systems to help achieve those goals, and evaluate successes and challenges. Her philosophy on behavior change can be summed up by a James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) quote:Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.Heather helps clients build new systems (i.e. routines) that will ultimately help them move closer to their health goals. In an initial visit, Heather dedicates time to better understand where you've been, where you are, and where you want to be. This begins with a thorough nutrition assessment which includes learning about your medical history, nutrition and lifestyle habits, food preferences, current symptoms of concern, and health and nutrition goals. You will be able to ask questions and define what a successful counseling experience looks like. At the end of the first visit, you’ll leave with at least one actionable step to help move you closer to your health goals.
