The Practitioner

Heather Koch is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, with a bachelors degree in Nutrition and Science from Purdue Global University. She is also a Licensed Massage Therapist for, and a Board Certified Light Therapist .

Heather helps her clients feel deeply nourished, balanced, and at home in their bodies. Her work blends evidence-based nutrition with intuitive, hands-on care, honoring the body’s innate ability to heal when properly supported.

Heather believes wellness is not on-size-fits-all and approaches each client through a bio-individual, whole person lens. She supports nourishment through real, thoughtfully prepared food, nervous system regulation, restorative touch, and gentle lifestyle shifts that meet the body where it is- rather than forcing it to change.

Outside of her practice, Heather is a wife and mother of three who finds grounding in food, nature, and simple, intentional living- values that naturally shape the way she cares for her clients.
