"I cannot say enough good things about working with Heather.

We saw her in regards to my young daughter with PWS, Prader-Willi Syndrome. Her ayurvedic approach drastically improved my daughter's chronic constipation to such a degree that I nearly forgot it was ever a struggle!

The concepts we learned continue to support our decisions with her now years later.

I look forward to working with Heather again, as her experience, depth of knowledge and kindness are so rare to find."
