I donated a kidney alittle over a year ago and my goal was to get back to running half marathons. I signed up for the NYC Half and was training since mid December. About 3 weeks before the race, I was really struggling with hip, knee and foot/ankle pain. I wanted to feel confident running this race and also had other races lined up. I thought I was doing all the right things, i.e. strength training, yoga, stretching, etc. but started to feel defeated until I asked some questions on a Facebook group I belong to. People in the group were recommending Dr Heather. After a virtual consultation, she knew exactly what my issues were and quickly came up with a game plan. I wasn’t sure it was going to work as I’ve been dealing with these issues for years. Within 1 week, I already started feeling a noticeable difference. I was running faster and most of my pain was gone. Dr Heather was so easy to talk to and work with. She accommodated my schedule and gave me detailed homework after every meeting. She didn’t even get scared away by my crying! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone dealing with lingering pain or injury. She still checks in weeks later and truly cares about her patients.

I used to run 15 years ago until a chronic foot injury made it impossible to continue running on a regular basis. In 2024 I decided to start running for my mental health but I kept getting hurt! I met Dr. Heather after seeing her Instagram come up on my feed. I scheduled a free gait analysis and she immediately knew what to do! It was incredible. She asked me if my left hip bothered me, and I hadn’t even mentioned this at all. I have continued to work with Dr. Heather from August 2024 to February 2025 and she’s turned me into a runner again! Since August 2024 I have completed 4 5Ks, 3 10ks and 1 half marathon without pain! I have had some aches and pains here and there but every exercise Dr. Heather has recommended has made these subside. I finally have fixed my muscle imbalances once and for all! I’m so glad I met her and I could not have done this without her. I highly recommend Dr. Heather if you want to run again without pain! If you want to do races again without pain, she is fantastic! I never thought I’d be here ever again and I’m so happy I can run again.

After a year and a half of trying everything to resolve a chronic hamstring issue that kept me off the running trails and roads— including two rounds of physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, dry needling, and more—my triathlon coach, an elite runner himself, suggested I give Dr. Heather a shot. I texted Dr. H that morning and received a quick reply. We set up a consultation for that same evening, and Dr. H informed me that she could have me back to running in approximately three weeks. Needless to say, I was skeptical. Driven by desperation and hope, I reluctantly signed up for her program, and we began just a few days later. I commute from Texas to California for work during the week, so we scheduled our mid-week sessions for 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET, which worked well for both of us. Dr. H quickly discovered the root cause of my issue during our sessions: a disconnected posterior chain. We immediately went to work on this, and I started learning new techniques. My body responded positively to the new routine as I realized that the muscles just needed to be trained to respond to the new stimuli; they adapted more quickly than I had expected. Fast forward three weeks, and unbelievably, I was back on a treadmill and then hitting the roads with runs of up to 5 miles. Today, I have been working with Dr. H for about five months. I've chosen to continue on a maintenance program focusing on strength, balance, and other areas of weakness. I'm happy to say that I am now beginning to increase my mileage and have set a goal to compete in another Ironman this upcoming season, which I thought wouldn't be possible just five short months ago. If you are like me and feel like you've tried everything without finding a resolution, I encourage you to send that text today.

My son had trained all summer for his Junior year xc season. After the first meet he had excruciating pain. After imaging (MRI) , we found out he has a stress femur fracture and quadrecept tendonitis. He did what he was told, and rested THE ENTIRE XC season and trained on the antigravity treadmill and swam in the pool. Each time he tried to run , he still had knee pain. He began to be discouraged. I "stumbled" upon Dr Heather's Instagram and decided to give her a try. We had a virtual call with my son and he agreed to try her out. She did a gait analysis and a few other things and put together a program for him. He literally did 20 minutes a day of progressing stretches, exercises, and workouts. He began running again, pain free and was about to train all summer before senior year. During his senior year xc season he ran varsity every meet and PR'd every race. I highly recommend Dr Heather not just to help with running pain free but to run healthier. 5 STARS!! THANK YOU, Dr Heather, as we ( he) prepare for his senior year track season.

I contacted Heather after trying every imaginable treatment, medicine, exercise, stretch, prayer, etc for my insertional Achilles tendenosis. This has been an on and off nagging injury for over a decade. I am a world-class Ironman athlete and this injury has been holding back my running (distance and intensity) and making it miserable. Heather has many positive attributes: exceptionally knowledgeable biomechanics, world-class experience working with athletes, "let's do this" optimism and pragmatism, and some of the best listening and communication skills I've experienced from a medical professional. Plus, she is a sweet person. I am on the mend, and I give Heather a lot of credit. Overuse injuries that are a decade in the making don't go away quickly, I wish she had a magic pill for my impatience! Seriously, I highly recommend Heather for your sports-related aches, pains, and hindrances.

I first contacted Dr. Heather in February, just after a half marathon. During my last training block, I started experiencing a recurring pain in my left hip which I believed was overuse injury, and wanted to gear my training back up for one or two more half marathons before moving back into full marathon training territory, where the volume and intensity are a bit higher. I had 8 weeks before my next half marathon was scheduled, and had a one week trip to Spain in the middle of that short training block. Dr. Heather drastically cut out my running volume (basically down to zero for the first 3 weeks while I was healing and learning new motor skills) and then began to build me back up. Even though I did not feel "trained" for the second half marathon, I went ahead and ran it... I PR'd by 7 minutes!! I had no pain whatsoever in any of the abbreviated training or in the race itself. So many positives I could speak about with my experience with Dr. Heather, as she definitely improved not only my running balance and form, but also provided terrific nutrition and mindset advisement which will carry me into the next several planned endeavors. All our consultations were done via Zoom (and she makes sure you are performing the exercises correctly--believe me!) and via email. She is very responsive to questions via text and email, and I found her consultation to be a value to me much greater than the payment provided! So, what did I receive? 1. I'm not injured (initial primary goal). 2. I'm stronger (added value). 3. I'm more balanced and am more aware during runs (added value). 4. I have a better understanding of nutrition for endurance fueling, and how it relates to actual results (added value). 5. Dr. Heather has provided a large addition of knowledge that will undoubtedly greatly assist with my upcoming endurance goals (added value). So much more I could write... I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Heather to help whatever you need in relation to your physical exercising needs (and so much more!!).

Started working virtually with Dr Heather over 2 years ago and she is now a close trusted professional that my family relies on to keep us healthy and pain free. We all started with various issues and pains but over the years she's been able to help educate us on how to take care of ourselves through movement, exercise and healthier habits. We've also had the pleasure of meeting her in person too to get our first chiropractic adjustments and it didn't disappoint. Medical professionals now a days are so busy that you sometimes feel like you're just another patient but Dr Heather genuinely cares for each person she works with and it shows.

Finally getting around to this...6 months later... The short back story is that I tore my left ACL in Taekwon-do in October of 2019 with surgery in December 2019. I met with Heather in July 2020 while trying to get back to running after the surgery. With her help and expertise I was able to do that and be running my first race (virtual) in September 2020. But that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to be back to competition form and competing in ITF Taekwon-do World Championships! As you can see, thanks to her program (and endless amount of patience with me and my stubbornness 🫣) you can see the results. At 42 years old I was in the best shape of my life and competing at the highest level in my sport! Thanks Heather for the continued support on my endless journey to be better and enjoy my active life to the fullest!

1 year ago (December 2020) I was in daily pain and 100% desperate. Every morning that first step out of bed KILLED. My feet / plantar fasciitis was making me so depressed because I just couldn’t find a solution. My doctor put me on a few rounds of steroids, which helped temporarily but I still couldn’t run at all and walking hurt. Until one night, on Facebook, I found Dr. Heather. I was a little hesitant but desperate. She offered a free consultation and I figured I had nothing to lose. I reached out to Heather on a Saturday and we had a virtual meeting that Sunday night. Right from the start I liked Dr. Heather. She wasn’t pushy. I felt no obligation. After 5 minutes of her reviewing a few things with me she knew 100% what was going on. I was shocked. It was like I was talking to someone who had the exact same issues and knew exactly how I was feeling. I signed on with her immediately and within a week started to feel better. Fast forward 2 months, I started running again. I went from barley walking, spending a TON of money on different shoes, lotions, potions, pills, etc.…. to running again. I am an avid runner. From 10ks, marathons, 50ks, trail runs, you name it. I really thought my running life was over. I did everything Heather said and recovered. After my 3 months with Heather was done, I signed on to keep working with Dr. Heather on my fitness and overall health, wellness and goals. I’ve come so far. Have gotten stronger, not only physically but more importantly, mentally. Heather listens. She’s knowledgeable. She knows who I am. She remembers. She cares. I trust her. Lastly…. I ran a half marathon after a few weeks ago. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER not only broke a sub-2 hour but a 1:54. I was shocked. Thank you Dr. Heather!

Where do I even begin with Dr Heather? First off, she has gone above and beyond my expectations of someone helping me on my journey to improve myself. I've been working with Dr Heather now for almost a year and the most important thing about my relationship is that I feel she genuinely cares and wants me to be the best I can be. No matter the topic, she's a wealth of knowledge from her medical expertise to her personal experience and is happy to help. Specifically, she very quickly identified where some of my long term pains were and how I could naturally fix them through exercise and stretches (from the comfort of my own home through virtual training). I then referred my wife who was having years of constant pains and to her disbelief, had her pains alleviated in only a week. We're both super happy and strongly recommend connecting with Dr Heather for a consultation to see if she can help!

Several months ago I met Heather on one of the running pages on Facebook. I was asking questions about an injury that had occurred while I was out running. She immediately came to my rescue and began to explain what happened and how she could help. Initially, like everything you see on the internet I was skeptical. However, so desperate to run again I decided I didn’t have anything to lose. People always try to tell you why they are the ‘best’ but I was blown away by Heather. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the human body but she was able to teach me how my particular body type needed a special training routine to fix the underlying issues. I never would have known or figured it out on my own. I am still in the process of correcting old habits but I absolutely could not have done it without her. Not only is she knowledgeable but she is a joy to work with. We did virtual sessions not because of covid but because we live in different time zones and it was amazing. I didn’t even have to leave the comfort of my home or worry about someone coming to mine. She was able to correct my form by watching with video-chats and asking questions the entire time. She gave me exercises and plans based on what I was experiencing and didn’t make me feel bad when I couldn’t do a particular routine. I am a very busy person and she went out of her way to work around my schedule which was such a blessing. We were literally scheduling on a day to day basis because my schedule can be so uncertain. She is so patient and actually cares. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with any type of pain.

The only complaint I have is that facebook doesn't allow me to give Heather more than 5 stars!!!! Heather reached out to me from a post I made in a running group. Without any guarantee of my business, she actively reached out and wanted to help me, she took the time to do a facetime call with me and listen to my issues. She described what was going on in such a way that was easy for me to understand why I was getting injured and provided the proper exercises, videos, PDFs with anything and everything I need in a timely fashion! Without ever meeting me in person (thanks covid) she was able to help me! Then after a few months she reached out again to see how I was feeling! And that is what sets her apart, she is always actively seeking out people to help, because she loves what she does. Book with her now, it is worth the money. Thank you Heather

Cannot express enough gratitude to Heather! I’ve been dealing with Achilles/Plantar Fasciitis for over 10 months. After reaching out to me on a FB group page, Heather and I met over Zoom and she discovered it was my lower back causing my symptoms!! Who would have thought that in 3 weeks she would have me running again with no pain!! I suggest to anyone who is having troubles with their running or working out pains today to reach out to Heather!! I live in MN and she is in CT-don’t let time or distance get in the way!
