Top Nutrition Coaching - Dietitian Biography I Heidi Barbey

Approach to care

I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist with over 30 years of counseling experience. I have a BS degree in Medical Dietetics from The Ohio State University. I specialize in working with clients who have eating disorders, disordered eating, weight management goals using mindful and intuitive eating techniques, heart health and prediabetes concerns. I also work with folks in the LGBTQI+ and trans communities, folks looking to follow a more Mediterranean and anti-inflammatory or plant-based diet. Personally, having a mom who was a chronic dieter and then overcoming anorexia in my late teens/early 20s, I have compassion and understanding for struggles to attain a happy and healthy relationship with food and your body.

Hobbies

I enjoy a suspenseful novel in my free time. I dabble in quilting, nothing fancy, but I love putting the colors and patterns together. I love spending time with my husband and 4 adult children. I also love to travel and experience different cultures.

"This Dietitian helped me get my life back”

Gia M.

I've been with Heidi for about 8 months and the process I've made wouldn't be possible without her! Struggling with an eating disorder, I had no idea how to even start recovering and I was scared of everything. Having her by my side to seek advice and reassure me has made all the difference!

Alexis

Working with Heidi has pushed me in a positive direction with healthier habits and mindset around food. After several sessions I feel like I can open up in ways I haven't been able to before. She is attentive and sends me lots of tips. She checks in with me about my short and long term goals. She has even helped me understand how to structure my time in my life to help me meet my goals.

Sarah

Working with Heidi has made my entire ED recovery easier. She keeps me updated on how I'm doing and what the goals are, which are never to make me fat. Hearing her say that for the first time let me take a deep breath, because I was terrified of gaining weight. As reluctant as I was to get help, I could not have picked a better person.
