Heini Tallent

I partner with active women, athletes, and busy high-achievers to help you turn your long-term health and wellness goals into sustainable change. I specialize in helping you untangle the connections between stress, gut health, mindset, training, and daily habits — so you can perform at your best at work, at home, and in your sport. My approach is collaborative: you’ll feel heard, empowered to make choices that work for you, and confident in navigating the best path to your optimal wellness.I've worked in health, wellness and athletic performance for a long time. I ran my own clinical massage practice for 20 years, helping clients heal from sports injuries, get out of chronic pain, and establish good self-care habits. I have been a distance running coach since 2015, working with individual clients and coaching women's running groups. As a health coach, I'm certified by the FMCA and the NBHWC.My experience has given me a deep appreciation for the connections within the human body and mind, and I have always been interested in the many facets of health. I'm a big believer in helping my clients discover the tools and skills they need to take control of their own well-being. I put my clients' wishes and goals at the heart of the relationship and work with you — gently guiding, rather than handing out cookie-cutter plans.I’m a lifelong athlete — former basketball player, now a distance runner — as well as a parent and business owner. I’ve navigated IBS, SIBO, stress and burnout, and eating for sports performance and for gut health.As a woman in my 40s, the way our bodies continue to surprise us is a part of my everyday experience! The functional medicine approach has been a game changer in taking care of my own health, and I'm passionate about sharing it with my clients. I'm particularly interested in how a driven “athlete mindset” affects your overall health.I especially love working with:Active women in midlifeRecreational and competitive athletesGut health, particularly IBS and SIBOStress management and mindsetWomen's health and hormonesI meet with my clients remotely and can work with flexible schedules and across time zones.
