Getting to know me

Hi, my name is Heather. I am a wife, mother, gramma, and business owner. This blog is a way to share my passion for health and wellness.

My Story: My journey with health did not start out in a good place. College was a tough time in my life and with many things being out of my control at that time, I chose to control my food intake and proceeded to develop an eating disorder. I became anorexic. My lowest weight was 94 pounds and at 5’ 5” that was a bit thin. I ate one apple and 1-2 cups of popcorn a day and that was it. This DOES NOT do a body good. Through the grace of God, my mom, and my believing that I am important and don’t need to control everything, I turned this eating disorder around. I slowly began to accept that I needed food to live—a novel thought, right?

Marriage, career, and two kids later I tried to eat well and feed my family well, at least like we had all been taught with the food pyramid. I did the best I could with what I knew. In the past several years my passion for nutrition has been spurred to a greater degree, and I went back to school to learn more. I have entered a new phase in my life, the kids are grown with families of their own; the blessing of grandchildren has come upon us. (And yes, it is absolutely the most awesome blessing). My new focus for our family health is providing the right food and exercise to remain healthy and strong for the remainder of our lives! When you are in your 20’s or even 30’s, you really don’t think about how you will feel physically in your 50’s – that is waaay old, right? Well then all of a sudden you are in your 50’s and have to start thinking about this kind of stuff. Since my family has a history of heart issues and arthritis, I am being proactive to fight off these conditions for myself and the rest of my family. I also want to be able teach my grandchildren the joy of life, food, learning and adventure. What better gift to pass on to your kids and grandkids but a legacy of health and wellness. Please visit my Welcome to Chronicles in HEALTH post to discover my mission for a healthy life.

To better serve my clients, I have added homeopathy services. Homeopathy is the second most used medicine in the world after Chinese Medicine. Personally it has helped me immensely so I now offer this service along with the health and wellness coaching.

I would like to get to know you and your health journey. I invite you to subscribe to my blog and we can write our Chronicles in HEALTH together.
