Wellness Hq

As a Corporate Wellness Trainer, Heather consistently receives rave reviews from her participants. Heather Quintana, owner of Wellness HQ, is a Certified Health Coach, Certified Food Educator, Certified Mindfulness Instructor, Certified Mental Health First Aider, and Corporate Health & Wellness consultant with more than 15 years of experience in designing and implementing strategies and programs that help people make healthier choices. Heather’s philosophy on wellness is science-based. Her recommendations are based on decades of research and studies of consumer behavior and wellness strategies. She addresses wellness for the whole body and mind and works with people to start on a path from where they’re at. Heather knows there is no “one-program-suits-all” shortcut when it comes to shifting behaviors and creating positive health outcomes, as individuals have different starting points, different backgrounds, and different ways of learning. Behavior change can be daunting without great guidance. She includes nutrition, mindset and stress management, exercise, and healthy sleep habits as the 4 core pillars to good health. As a Certified Health Coach, Heather has helped her clients lose weight and adopt healthier habits that stick. No gimmicks, no fad diets. Adopting long-term attitude and behavior changes is the goal. Step by step – unfortunately there are no lasting quick fixes. Heather has been teaching wellness and cooking classes to professionals at the corporate level and makes regular appearances on cooking on live television. Heather is the co-founder and executive director of a successful local non-profit organization, Happy Healthy Cooks. Since 2009, Happy Healthy Cooks has educated and changed attitudes of thousands of Roanoke City school children and their families around food and nutrition, empowering them to make nutritious choices because their health depends on it. Heather is also a trained Mindfulness instructor and has developed and delivered science-based mindfulness trainings in the workplace. Finally, Heather is a certified “Laughter Yoga” instructor. Laughter, they say, IS the best medicine! Heather has a degree in Communications and has 20 years of marketing experience. She will help you market her trainings in order to have great participation!
