About Heather K. Jones

Hi there! I’m Heather, a Transformational Guide, Near-Death Experiencer, Dietitian, and Internal Family Systems Coach. I’m also the creator of several popular transformational programs and the co-author of the New York Times best-selling Skinnytaste cookbooks.

I’ve helped thousands of women create lasting change from the inside out and reconnect with their Higher Self. But my life hasn’t always been fueled by green smoothies, self-love, and optimism. Ha… not even close.

As a sensitive and intuitive child, I was deeply connected to the spirit world, yet often felt overwhelmed by the energies in my family and the world around me. That overwhelm manifested as stuttering, and I spent much of my childhood anxious and unsure of myself.

In my teenage years, that anxiety led to disordered eating, and in college, I tried to suppress my emotions with alcohol and partying. Even after becoming a dietitian and working at a well-respected nonprofit, I continued to abuse my body with food, alcohol, and cigarettes. I desperately wanted to change, but nothing seemed to stick. I was a health professional living a very unhealthy life, and I felt like such a hypocrite.

My turning point came in my early thirties, in the wake of my divorce, when I started experiencing daily panic attacks… sometimes more than ten a day. I could no longer ignore my fear and pain with external fixes. For the first time ever, I turned inward and met the scared parts of my inner world with gentleness and curiosity. That choice changed my life.

Within a month, I felt more anchored in my Higher Self and more aware of the parts within me that needed care, attention, and love. 

I realized that my imbalanced relationships (with people, food, and life) were all reflections of the imbalance within my relationship with myself.

I discovered how to love, support, and understand myself. Step by step, I replaced my self-loathing with acceptance, my shame with compassion, my guilt with forgiveness, and my self-destructive habits with soul-care.

I also reconnected with my Higher Self, my spirit guides, and the memories of my near-death experience at seventeen. I remembered a deeper truth: that we are all Divine beings having a human experience, and that we are innately worthy and lovable.

Years later, I trained with a shaman and eventually discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that gave language to what I had already been doing intuitively: meeting my inner children and the parts of myself with compassion. Today, these psycho-spiritual tools are the foundation of how I support others on their path of awakening, healing, and soul remembrance.
