SUPERVISION FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Heidi provides individual and group supervision and consultation for dietitians/nutritionists and other professionals who see clients with disordered eating and body image concerns.
My Approach
Though trained in nutrition science and psychology, I have a holistic view of nutrition, the body, and my clients. I provide care that is inclusive of all bodies, genders, and gender expressions.
I work on the traditional and unceded territories of the Pawtucket people, now called Arlington, Massachusetts. I’m a registered dietitian (licensed in the states of Massachusetts and Maine), Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Consultant/Supervisor (CEDS-C), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I provide in-person and virtual care over Zoom.

Somatic Experiencing™ is a method used to assist clients, particularly those with trauma histories, find self-regulation and feel more at home in their bodies and selves. I aim to inspire clients, readers, students, and professional colleagues (particularly those who identify as women), to be truly embodied in a world that does not always encourage this.
-
This is not traditional weight-loss counseling. No evidence supports that focusing on weight works or improves lives. Instead, we focus on developing nourishing habits and building a life free of food and body misery at any size.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral skills that help you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. It aims to help you move forward through difficult emotions so you can put your energy into healing and moving toward values instead of dwelling on the negative.
What Clients Say
“When I first came to you, I didn't believe I would ever feel good about my body. That was beyond the scope of my hopes for myself because I was so entrenched in a mindset and way of life that was hurting me. Now I am at peace with my body, I feel good in my skin, and I consistently eat in a way that is healthy for me. You have made a huge impact on my life and been a source of support and wisdom during challenging times. …”
