About

Heather helps change-makers suffering from bloating, fatigue and brain fog (driven by gut imbalances) resolve their symptoms, calm IBS flares, and rediscover their body’s wisdom. She uses many tools including nutrition, herbs, supplements, cutting-edge probiotics, nervous system exercises and somatic practices to rebalance the digestive system with evidence-based, holistic, individual recovery plans and coaching so that they can return to living the healthiest life of their dreams. She is based in Vancouver, BC on the traditional and unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

She has experienced the pain and frustration of having chronic painful bloating, weird bowel movements, and brain fog reactions to different foods. She did so much research and yet things still didn’t click until she combined certain therapies and diets together and drastically lowered her stress and inflammation levels. Near the end of the healing protocol, she actually went on a 10-day backpacking trip with her trustee supplements, and now husband (they love the mountains), which really helped to reset her nervous system.

Having someone who’s been there, and has found evidence-based solutions will help lower your stress and provide you with a simple step-by step plan. I would be honoured to be your guide in helping you fully recover, optimize your gut health and find joy in the process. You deserve to feel abundantly healthy, confident and capable. All that stands in your way is the right information and the confidence and guidance to make those changes that fit your goals. I believe in you and will make sure you receive the support that you need, and cheer you on through all the little wins!

That’s me on that 10-day backpacking trip in the rocky mountains. Eating a high-fibre meal in the great outdoors.

My story:

I struggled with a concussion back in 2017, then mold toxicity, and then months of painful bloating that was eventually diagnosed as a case of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). After months of researching and trying new diets and supplements, I realized I needed to fully commit to my healing plan. I made a full recovery after digging into the research and building new habits around food, herbs, stress, and self-care. I felt so inspired by what I had learned that I became a certified gut health practitioner to help guide people through a proven gut-restoration framework.

I am also studying to become a holistic nutritionist, and am always taking extra courses like diagnostic lab analysis, and enjoy reviewing client’s bloodwork, breath tests and stool tests to give us a clearer picture of which organs and systems need more support. Ultimately, the goal is to restore balance to the gut and nervous system with the perfect gut restoration plan suited for you.

Healing takes time and daily commitment to new habits. This is why I offer a few paths for working together. I offer 3-week gut-brain reset challenges in a small group settings, and 4-month private coaching programs, where we dig deep into personalized rebalancing plans, to fully rebalance and restore your microbiome and digestive system, so you can get the most out of what you are putting into your body, on a physical and energetic level.
I also offer follow-up maintenance sessions, as there are deeper layers of healing that can be done once the gut is back in order. I help clients work on their adrenals, liver, hormones, and detox etc, with holistic nutrition, herbs, and supplement recommendations. Step one is always making sure the gut has rebalanced and the nervous system has found some resilience. Read my article on why health begins in the gut, if this wets your appetite. 😉

SIBO, constant bloating, and stress transformed into bloat-free, care-free balanced eating, and testing-informed empowerment.

“I came to work with Heather because I had SIBO and constant bloating and stress about my symptoms. I was feeling very self-conscious and always focused on what I was putting in my body.

After going through the gut restoration program, I became more aware of what I was putting in my body and my blood sugars balanced out so I wasn’t so jittery if not eating right on time. I don’t feel bloated all the time, and I eat much better overall.

I really enjoyed having the accountability from Heather.  She was always available to answer any questions I had. I sure enjoyed having the microbiome report done in the beginning to know what was really going on inside.  The information that came with the stool test report was beyond amazing. I appreciated her knowledge base and the many resources she provided. 

The value is there for sure, and the knowledge and resources are well worth it.  Heather’s demeanor is gentle and very easy to work with, and very flexible.  Her guided meditations were amazing. I highly recommend working with Heather.”

IBS, anxiety and overwhelm turned into calm, wellbeing and connection to my mind and body.

“Before starting working with Heather, I was dealing with constant IBS symptoms—bloating, discomfort, and unpredictable digestion—but I was also struggling with a lot of general anxiety. My body felt like it was always on high alert, and I knew my gut issues and my anxiety were feeding into each other.

I was overwhelmed. The physical symptoms were frustrating enough, but the anxiety on top of it made everything feel heavier. I often felt disconnected from my body and unsure of how to regain a sense of calm or control. It was exhausting physically and mentally.

After working with Heather for 3 months, my IBS symptoms have reduced significantly, and my anxiety feels much more manageable. I’m calmer, more present, and I finally feel connected to my body instead of fighting against it. I’ve developed routines that support both my gut and my nervous system, and my overall wellbeing has improved in a really noticeable way.

My favourite part was the holistic approach. It wasn’t just about food—it was about understanding myself, my stress responses, and learning tools that helped me feel safe and regulated. Her support was compassionate and personalized, and it made the whole process feel doable and transformative.

The biggest shift was learning the mind–body connection. For the first time, I understood how my stress and emotional patterns were affecting my digestion, and how supporting my nervous system could actually support my gut. My symptoms improved, but so did my ability to slow down, tune in, and feel grounded.

I’m genuinely grateful for this experience. It gave me my energy, confidence, and sense of balance back. The mind–body tools I learned will stay with me for life.

If you’re struggling with gut issues and stress or anxiety, this program is a game changer. It goes beyond symptom relief and helps you understand your body on a deeper level. You don’t just get better digestion—you get a calmer mind, more clarity, and habits that actually support long-term healing.”

Rashes, brain fog, thyroid imbalance

“Before joining Heather’s gut restoration program, I struggled with persistent health issues, including irregular and unhealthy-looking stools, facial rashes, difficulty losing weight, thyroid issues, brain fog, and significant anxiety. These challenges impacted my daily life and overall well-being. These symptoms left me feeling hopeless and frustrated, particularly when medical professionals dismissed my concerns, stating that my lab results were normal despite my ongoing discomfort.

After completing the gut restoration program, I experienced a remarkable improvement in my overall health. My energy levels increased significantly, and my gut health improved, leading to better digestion and bowel regularity.

The program helped balance my gut microbiome, resulting in healthier stools and a significant reduction in brain fog. I also noticed improved energy levels and better gut motility. My mindset shifted to a more proactive and hopeful approach to my health, empowering me to sustain these positive changes.

My favorite aspect was Heather’s genuine dedication and meticulous attention to detail. She took a comprehensive approach, addressing every facet of my health concerns with care and ensuring no detail was overlooked.

I wholeheartedly recommend Heather’s program. It’s a cost-effective investment in your health, and Heather’s exceptional commitment to her clients ensures personalized support throughout your wellness journey.

Heather’s program is transformative, offering not only practical solutions but also compassionate guidance. Her thorough and caring approach makes this program stand out, and I’m grateful for the lasting impact it has had on my health.”

“If you are someone who wants practical steps towards healing your gut, Heather is the specialist for you. Heather outlines a brief but informative history to the gut issues we see today, showing her depth of research in the field. As a woman, I felt my needs were more complicated, but Heather addressed my concerns with actionable steps and empathy. After one session I now feel more empowered to make decisions for my gut and brain health that will last me a lifetime. Thank you!”
– Kayli D.

“Heather is a dedicated, knowledgeable and wonderfully supportive coach. I appreciated and learned a lot from her science-based classes and this information continues to guide me today. The meditation and breathwork sessions were soothing, relaxing and healing. I developed new habits to prioritize my health which I have maintained since finishing the program. I noticed improvements in my digestion and skin fairly soon after starting the program. I no longer experience extreme energy lows and low-blood-sugar episodes, and that, to me, is the biggest win! Sugar cravings are now a rare event. I admit it was challenging to find the time required to follow all aspects of the program, but this was the necessary push I needed to shift my ways and make time for my health. It is too common for working parents to put aside their needs and prioritize the needs of others. This was the program I needed, with a coach who guides with kindness and positivity but keeps you accountable! Thank you, Heather!”
– Josée

“Heather helped me get to the bottom of my embarrassing symptoms of excessive gas, and fatigue. I discovered some dairy sensitivities that I didn’t know I had, which was a big game changer for me. I learned how to lower inflammation in my gut and how important fibre is for fuelling my microbes. I enjoyed her educational and compassionate approach and how she also brought in nervous system therapies like breathwork and meditation that have helped me slow down and make better choices about what and how I eat. I am so amazed by how supporting my gut health has such a big impact on my overall energy and wellbeing! Would highly recommend Heather to anyone wanting to solve their gut health issues.”

Heather is so knowledgeable about gut health and how it impacts the whole mind and body. She truly has a holistic approach when it comes to healing. She motivates you to take responsibility for your own healing and gives you the tools to succeed!! Thanks Heather!”

“I went from pooping 5 times a day to regular bowel movements once a day after doing Heather’s 3-month gut restoration protocol. I don’t have to be nervous about finding a bathroom or interrupting my work day anymore. I am glad we did the elimination diet and I found out which foods I can now handle and how to retest my tolerance in the future.”
