After completing a degree in Business, I worked for 7 years in the corporate world. But after a period of burn-out and frustration, I decided to re-orient myself and dove into the world of food and nutrition. In 2017 started working as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner after training with the Nutritional Therapy Association.
In 2023 I became a registered dietitian in Belgium and am a member of the Flemish Professional Association for Dietitians. Since 2018 I've been working with clients in my practice, Healthfully Heather, both online and in person. While I work with clients on a variety of nutritional needs and goals, I have a particular passion for fertility, ante-, and postnatal nutrition as well as nutrition for digestive issues.
It was when researching the link between stress, meditation, and digestion (specifically for irritable bowel syndrome, IBS) that I came upon MBSR and immediately began an 8-week mindfulness course. Subsequently, I became acquainted with Brussels Mindfulness and admired the work that the team was doing in the Brussels community. In September 2021 I came on board and took on the role behind the scenes of operations, administration, and marketing, and have now retired this role to focus on my dietetic practice. You may continue to find me leading nutrition-focused workshops and trainings for Brussels Mindfulness from time to time.
