Hi there! I’m Heather!

My mission in life is to inspire you toward a more nourished life in both body and soul. To take a journey. A journey toward a healthy, whole, more vibrant you. The one that already lives within you, but maybe just needs some inspiration. My goal is to inspire you to make healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices so you can live with more energy and glow from the inside out. But a holistic approach also goes a bit deeper, so you may also see changes you don’t even expect, such as a more relaxed and balanced approach to life. My desire is for all of us to have enough energy to jump out of bed each day, ready to lean into whatever mission we’ve been given and to fulfill our God-given dreams and purpose. It’s a journey that goes beyond healthy eating and exercise and delves deeper, because that’s where true-well being begins.

Health and well-being are about more than the food on your plate and hours logged at the gym. These are great places to begin, but it certainly doesn’t end there. Nourishing mind, body and soul is a highly creative process. There is no one way that works for everyone. There are simple tools and habits we can all put into place that will work for many of us, but the true magic lies in the self-discovery.

My passion is to help people seek wellness both on-and-beyond the plate.

I believe most of us have the desire to get healthier, not only to achieve a certain weight or prevent disease, but to gain the energy we need to live more fully into our dreams and purpose.

Believe me, I’m far from perfect, but I have been able to put habits in my own life which have increased my energy significantly, reversed the symptoms of my auto-immune disease and made me healthier, stronger and happier.

My own journey began with fatigue. Plain old life-sucking fatigue.

For most of my life, I thought I was the picture of health. I was very active physically, hardly ever got sick, even ate my fair share of vegetables. But something was wrong. I was in a constant battle with fatigue and the fatigue was clearly winning. I lacked energy and felt overwhelmed and stressed nearly all the time. It is so common in our culture, which elevates exhaustion almost as a virtue, to go through our days tired and stressed and accept it as normal, just a part of life. But we are not meant to live stressed and exhausted and I was not living the inspired life I desired to live.

Intuitively, I knew I had a lot to learn, because I was inspired to train at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a board certified holistic health coach. I wanted to learn everything I could about eating for a healthy and energized body and life and how to share this with others.

More recently, I’ve completed training in functional nutrition through the Functional Nutrition Alliance. This intensive training has had me deep diving into the systems of the body and how nutrition and lifestyle truly hold the keys to optimizing body function and vitality, as well as to unlock it’s healing potential when threatened by chronic symptoms.

In addition my private health coaching practice, for over 6 years now I have worked as a health coach at The Center for Fully Functional Health, an integrative and functional medicine practice in Carmel, Indiana.

I’m so happy you found me here at The Naturally Nourished Life. I would love to connect with you! Learn how you can work with me here.
