Hi! I’m Vanessa Heatwole, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a passion for people and all things food. After years of experience in clinical and outpatient hospital settings, I’ve chosen to focus my work on an integrative and functional approach to nutrition through my private practice. I’m deeply committed to helping individuals find balance and healing through personalized, whole-person care and a whole-food philosophy. I’m thrilled to offer this meaningful, individualized nutrition therapy both locally in Harrisonburg and virtually. Thanks for your interest in working with me!

Warmly,

Vanessa

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.
