Hi there!
I’m Heather…
…a kidney nutrition specialist with more than 25 years of experience helping adults with chronic kidney disease and recurring kidney stones feel clear and confident about how to protect their kidney health. My goal is to guide you toward simple, sustainable eating habits that reduce risk, ease worry, and help you stay independent and in control of your long-term health.
My Story
I’ve been a registered dietitian for over 25 years, with the last decade dedicated mostly to kidney health. My work as a dialysis dietitian showed me just how overwhelming kidney disease can be—and how much control people can gain when they understand what their bodies truly need. Those eight years changed the course of my career and fueled my commitment to helping people protect their kidney function before things reach the point of dialysis.
In 2021, I opened my private practice to give adults with chronic kidney disease and kidney stones the kind of clear, personalized support I felt was missing in traditional healthcare settings. I’ve seen how fear, confusion, and mixed messages can make eating feel stressful and restrictive. My goal is to replace that with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually feels doable. When you work with me, you get a partner who understands your challenges and is fully invested in helping you stay independent and in control of your health.
My Philosophy
My approach is simple: clear guidance, practical steps, and a focus on real, whole foods. I believe most people don’t need complicated rules—they need support that cuts through the noise and helps them understand what truly protects their kidney function. Whether you’re trying to slow CKD progression or prevent kidney stones from coming back, I help you find a way of eating that supports your kidneys without feeling rigid or overwhelming.
I tailor every plan to the individual because no two cases of kidney disease or kidney stones are alike. We work together to make changes you can stick with—changes that nourish your body, reduce worry, and improve your long-term health. I’m here to empower you with the tools, explanations, and ongoing support you need to make informed choices and feel confident in your daily habits.
My mission is to help you take control of your kidney health with practical, sustainable nutrition—so you can protect your function, feel better, and live life on your own terms.
