Meet Heidi

I am Heidi Schauster, MS, RD, CEDS-C, SEP of Nourishing Words Nutrition Therapy and Somatic Experiencing™ in Greater Boston, Massachusetts.

I am a nutrition and eating disorders specialist who helps people affected by trauma heal food and body concerns. I also encourage young adults to approach wellness differently so that they are more concerned with the whole self than the selfie. 

I share ideas from my 30 years of clinical work and personal stories about recovery, parenting, and embodiment in my newsletter, Nourishing Words. I’m also the author of award-winning books Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body and Self and Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves. My words have been featured in the Huffington Post, Oprah Daily, and Women's Health Magazine, among others — and I’ve been a guest expert on ABC News, Sirius XM Doctor and Mental Health Radio, and many podcasts.

I also have personal experience with eating disorder recovery and have bumbled through life and parenting. I’m a lifelong dancer, plant lady, and proud mama of two outrageous young women.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you feel nourished, embodied, and connected to what is meaningful in your life.
