Hi! I’m Heidi. I’m a pediatric nurse, a mama of 4 and a grandma of 4.
Why did I create Leafy Vibe?
I saw a need that wasn’t being met.
Many families are moving towards a plant-based or vegan lifestyle and are in need of support and guidance, which their healthcare providers are not able to meet.
Eventually, the medical community will catch up (but your littles may be grown by the time they do).
So until then, I’m here to fill in that gap for you with easy-to-understand, evidence-based nutrition information, meal ideas, and toddler feeding tips to help you ensure your little one is getting all the nutrients she needs.
I hope to give you peace of mind that your little one can THRIVE on a plant-based lifestyle!
Why am I qualified to help you?
I'm a Pediatric RN, BSN (registered nurse), and I LOVE ♥ mamas & children!
I'm a Health Educator and have a bachelor's degree in Health Education.
I'm an experienced plant-based mama of 4, so I understand the stress and overwhelm of getting healthy meals on the table.
I've studied Plant-Based Nutrition and Transformative Nurse Coaching.
I have over 25 years of experience in meal-prepping. I even taught my kids how to meal prep!
What change am I hoping to make in the world?
In the past, I worked as a cardiac nurse and community health nurse. My heart broke from watching my patients suffer from chronic disease, disability, and premature death from years of poor lifestyle choices.
I’m not blaming them. They didn’t know any better.
But we know now that a primarily plant-based diet can prevent many of the common chronic diseases and cancers caused by our western diet.
Because of this, I'm on a mission to help families prevent this kind of pain and suffering-especially in the next generation.
I know we can do better!
I hope you'll consider me your friend, mentor, and partner in your plant-based journey with your child.
