Hi! My name is Vanessa Heatwole, I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and I LOVE people and food. After working for over 5 years in clinical and outpatient hospital settings, I have shifted to a more INTEGRATIVE & FUNCTIONAL approach to nutrition therapy. I have a deep compassion for those searching for nutrition balance in their lives and take a WHOLE person, WHOLE food approach in my practice. I am excited to provide this type of therapy through my own private practice, right here in Harrisonburg and virtually!

My Story

I became a Registered Dietitian for many reasons but ultimately because it was the highest credential in nutrition that I could get. I truly believe that a good understanding of optimal nutrition and a balanced lifestyle, are the keys to having a good quality of life and sustained health. I love to teach others about how the body functions as it relates to food, and what role food should play in their lives. I help people understand how food can be a true friend and not a foe.
