Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated because of your dietary restrictions?
I help people with food sensitivities and dietary restrictions build confidence, calm their nervous system, and navigate the emotional and social challenges of living with dietary limitations — through mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and compassionate talk support.
I’m Jennifer Heard, BSc. CIAYT, a registered Yoga Therapist specializing in mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork. I support people living with medically necessary dietary restrictions to feel confident and safe with food, navigate the emotional impact of illness, and cope with the strain that can arise when others don’t fully understand or accommodate their needs. My work blends mindful conversation, meditation, and breathwork to help you feel grounded, regulated, and secure in your body.

Navigate the emotional ups and downs of illness or dietary restrictions
-
Handle social pressures or unsupportive family/friends
-

Reconnect with their body and trust their instincts around eating"
Services
The following these services can be combined into individualized programs, tailored to your unique needs, blending yoga therapy, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and supportive talk sessions.
Therapeutic Yoga
Yoga Therapy is a personalized, mindfulness-based approach that uses gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, and guided awareness to support physical, emotional, and nervous system wellbeing. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and lived experience, with an emphasis on safety, accessibility, and listening to the body rather than pushing or fixing. In my work, yoga therapy supports regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of ease in the body—especially for those navigating illness, stress, or dietary restrictions.
Somatics
Somatics is about listening to the body from the inside out. Through mindful attention to breath, sensation, and subtle movement, somatic practices support calm, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of safety and connection within the body.
Talk based support
Compassionate, guided conversations to help you navigate social pressures, family dynamics, and the emotional challenges of living with dietary restrictions.
Classes at your location
Small group yoga and meditation sessions designed to support nervous system regulation, mindful awareness, and gentle movement. These sessions are ideal for community spaces, clinics, studios, or workplaces seeking a calm, inclusive experience. Each class is thoughtfully adapted to the needs of the group, with an emphasis on accessibility, safety, and mindfulness rather than performance. Sessions may include gentle yoga, guided meditation, breathwork, and mindful awareness practices, creating space for participants to feel grounded, present, and supported.
