Supporting your Health through Nutrition
Many of the clients who seek out Healing Heart Nutrition are intelligent, capable adults who feel unsettled by one particular area of their lives: food. They may understand nutrition guidelines. They may have followed structured programs before. They may even know exactly what they “should” be doing.
Yet stress, fatigue, hormonal shifts, and digestive discomfort create patterns that feel difficult to interrupt. Evening overeating becomes common. Cravings intensify. Bloating or inflammation lingers. Weight shifts despite consistent effort. The internal dialogue becomes critical and exhausting.
This practice exists for people who want to move beyond surface-level diet advice and address the full picture: behavior, physiology, and lifestyle together.
Healing Heart Nutrition provides individualized nutrition therapy that integrates emotional eating support, midlife hormone awareness, and advanced functional assessment when appropriate. The goal is steadiness, not extremes.
Healthy Habits are Achievable
Using food to eat in response to emotions or eating when you’re not really hungry just worn out or anxious is rarely about discipline.
It’s often a natural, predictable response to what the body is going through nervous system overload, blood sugar swings, habit loops, or the long-term effects of restriction.
Many high-functioning adults are managing a full load: deadlines, caregiving, decision fatigue, disrupted sleep. Certain stress hormones can run high. Appetite cues shift. The brain, doing its best to help, looks for fast comfort usually in the form of quick carbs or familiar foods. Over time, this turns into a cycle that feels personal and frustrating.
It’s Not About Willpower
It’s About Support!
It’s about physiology, unmet needs, and the body trying to cope the best way it knows how.
That’s why real nutrition care must go deeper supporting both the emotional and biological sides of eating.

A grounded, whole-person approach
Healing Heart Nutrition brings together three connected layers of care.
The focus isn’t on rules and perfection it’s on helping the body feel steady and the mind feel at ease.
Clients learn everyday tools to gently interrupt old patterns and rebuild trust in their natural hunger and fullness cues.
Behavioral Strategy
Identifying triggers, cognitive distortions, environmental cues, and stress responses that influence eating patterns.
Physiological Insight
Addressing blood sugar regulation, digestive health, inflammatory drivers, and hormonal shifts that shape appetite and metabolism.
Lifestyle Implementation
Developing sustainable systems for meal planning, stress management, sleep support, and consistency within demanding schedules.
Looking Deeper When Symptoms Persist
Some clients experience persistent bloating, inflammation, headaches, skin changes, or fatigue despite eating a generally balanced diet. In these cases, deeper assessment can be helpful.
MRT food sensitivity testing evaluates inflammatory responses to specific foods and supports development of a personalized immunoCalm dietary strategy. Functional hormone testing provides additional context when symptoms suggest endocrine involvement.
Testing is never used as a quick fix. It is used strategically when the clinical picture suggests that additional data may improve precision and outcomes.

Eat, Love, Heal
Learning to Love Yourself from the Inside Out
An honest talk about food, feelings, and finding your way back to yourself. Food has always been more than food for me. It was how I connected, how I coped. How I celebrated and how I hid.
In Eat, Love, Heal, I tell the story of how I went from loving food as a kid to using it to numb, reward, punish, and survive. I share what it looked like to live inside that emotional eating cycle for years and what finally helped me step out of it.
This isn’t a diet book. It’s part story, part reflection, part permission slip to let go of the noise. I’ve included:
- Recipes that have fed my family and friends with love
- Questions that helped me stop the autopilot eating patterns
- Practical tools for anyone who feels stuck in food/body frustration
