Meet Your Dietitian
Heidi Maher, LDN, MS - Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics with a Minor in Psychology, and Master of Science in Nutrition and Health Promotion from Simmons University (Formerly Simmons College). For over a decade I have been working in the health and wellness field, including helping people their diet and lifestyle in order to achieve their wellness goals.
Since January 2011, I have been working at the center helping clients to achieve and maintain their weight loss goals. I am ready and willing to provide you with the guidance, knowledge, support, and accountability that will help you achieve your weight loss and healthy eating goals. I am passionate about partnering with you during your wellness transformation. I can teach you tips and tricks for navigating the grocery story, simple ways to prepare healthy meals, and find the perfect tools you need to define your goals and reach them. Whether you are curious about healthy eating, interested in losing weight, or simply wanting to explore food sensitivities, I just might be a good match for you.

Gene Blueprint genetic tests provide personalized nutrition and fitness advice based on your genetic makeup. This program is available for both in-person and remote clients.
A Message To You From the Founder, Colleen Drummond, Registered Nurse
"Too often people focus on the end result rather than the steps it takes to get there. If your resolution is to lose weight, Ideal Weight Loss Center is here to help! We truly believe that this is a lifelong eating plan because you learn how to eat and will see results. Surrounding yourself with positive reinforcement, establishing a new habit of healthy eating, and seeing the positive results coming from your new lifestyle will only further motivate you to continue keeping your determination throughout the year and beyond."
