MY BEFORE & AFTER JOURNEY

Every version of me is part of my story.

HI, I’M HEATHER VENNER

I’ve lived the journey.
Now I walk beside you.

At my highest weight, I was 389 pounds. In 2019, I had RNY gastric bypass. I’ve lost 210 pounds & maintained that weight loss since 2020. That decision became part of a much bigger journey—learning how to care for myself, build sustainable habits, & navigate life after bariatric surgery.

My coaching goes beyond weight loss. You don’t need a weight-loss goal or a history of bariatric surgery to work with me. I’m here for your overall wellness, personal growth, & leveling up in life—whatever becoming a better version of yourself looks like for you. I know there’s more to this than what you eat or what the scale says. There’s the confidence, the identity shifts, the starting again, & the everyday choices that can feel easier with someone in your corner.

I’ve been a certified wellness coach since 2020. As a wellness & bariatric coach, I bring lived experience & practical support to my coaching. I’ll focus on realistic steps, honest conversations, & a way forward that feels like yours. As your coach & biggest hype girl, I’ll celebrate every milestone with you, including the wins that have nothing to do with the scale.

My journey has also included 12+ surgeries altogether, including skin removal procedures that removed over 20 pounds of excess skin. I know how physically & emotionally challenging that chapter can feel. If you’re considering skin removal, I can offer support, understanding, & encouragement from someone who’s been through it. You don’t have to navigate that journey alone.

I’m a wife, a mom of two, & a pet mom to six animals: four cats (two Sphynx & two Bengals) & two English bulldogs. I know how incredibly busy & overwhelming life can get. That’s where I come in: bringing a little calm, steady support, & encouragement while keeping you hyped up & excited for your next chapter. Together, we’ll make room for you in the middle of your real life.

Heather ♡

“She somehow knows exactly when I need a push and when I just need someone to listen.”

Read full testimonial

I’ve been working with Heather for over two years, and I can honestly say she’s changed my life. Losing over 200 pounds is a huge accomplishment, but what I’m most grateful for is how much she’s helped me change my mindset.

Heather is one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. She keeps things real—no fluff, no judgment, just real talk and a lot of laughs. She somehow knows exactly when I need a push and when I just need someone to listen. She’s been through it herself, and that makes all the difference. She doesn’t just throw advice at you—she gets it because she’s lived it.

I never feel like I have to be perfect with Heather. She’s all about sustainable change, not quick fixes, and she keeps things light and funny while still holding me accountable. I can tell her anything, and I know she’s actually listening.

If you’re looking for a coach who will support you, challenge you, and make you laugh through the hard stuff, Heather is the one. I can’t imagine doing this journey without her.

“I can easily say that her support is what helped push me through the most terrifying moments.”

I was first introduced to Heather at the start of my bariatric journey. This was the most terrifying time for me because I decided to embark on a journey that I knew would change my life, but had no idea what to expect.

While going through all the emotions of fear and excitement, I decided to work with Heather so I could get support as I started my journey. I can easily say that her support is what helped push me through the most terrifying moments. Heather’s compassion, empathy and humour always made me feel comforted through my moments of doubt. She helped me start the journey to love myself earlier than I expected, but that’s when I needed it most.

Heather is an amazing coach and I’m so happy that she came into my life at the perfect time. Heather is such a great resource of knowledge for anyone on their bariatric journey who is looking for their own personal cheerleader to guide them through.

“She scheduled a call with me and I swear it felt like I was talking to a long lost Sister.”

I came across Heather’s instagram page at an all time low in my life. I felt my weight had held me back from so many things in my life. I reached out to Heather as I saw she had gone through weight loss surgery and we connected on so many levels. She scheduled a call with me and I swear it felt like I was talking to a long lost Sister.

She just got everything that I had gone through, as she has gone through similar things. She was my inspiration to have WLS and change my life for the better.

I was so scared, but she reassured me that everything would work out, and it did. I cannot thank her enough and I am so blessed to have crossed paths with her.

There is so much more to a weight loss journey, and she is able to bring light to it all, in such an informative and caring manner. She is such a light, and if you are fortune enough to have her in your corner, you are one of the lucky ones.

Thank you is not enough.
Love you Heather.

I’m writing this letter with admiration and gratitude to recommend Heather. Having been mentored by her, I can confidently say she’s skilled, empathetic, and deeply committed to helping others grow.

Heather has a unique gift for inspiring and uplifting those around her. During a tough time in my life, she was a constant source of guidance and positivity. Her advice was always tailored to my situation, showing her sharp thinking and deep understanding. She didn’t just help me overcome immediate challenges—she also gave me tools for long-term success, all while fostering trust, inclusivity, and respect.

What sets Heather apart is her ability to connect with people on a personal level. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and concerns. This openness led to honest discussions about my goals and challenges, and I always felt genuinely valued.

I wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone seeking the exceptional support she provides.

“Working with Heather was like talking to sunshine in human form.”

Working with Heather was like talking to sunshine in human form. From the very first session, it felt like reconnecting with a long-lost best friend, someone who truly sees you, hears you, and uplifts you. She has this incredible gift of offering insight and encouragement without ever being pushy or judgmental. Every conversation left me feeling lighter and more hopeful.

What I loved most is that nothing ever felt overwhelming. Heather’s guidance always came in the form of small, meaningful, and manageable steps that actually fit into real life. Her advice was both practical and personal, and she always met me right where I was with kindness and validation.

If you’re looking for a coach who leads with heart, wisdom, and authenticity, Heather is the one. I’m endlessly grateful for our time together.

“She answered my questions - oh there were so many and each milestone she celebrated. She kept me laughing.”

I’d be a completely different person if I hadn’t talked to my doctor 5 years ago and asked for a reference to a bariatric program. It was hard work. Really hard. There were the dietician, social worker, classes and making radical changes to how I looked and approached food. After surgery I had to get used to my new “tiny tummy.” I didn’t take photos as I went through the early stages of the process. I should have. One struggle that I have and I can understand is body dysmorphia. There are times after losing over 100lbs that I still catch myself starting to walk to the plus size area of the store. I make myself try things on now. I don’t get upset if I can get something on- but it’s not comfortable. I can range from a large to a XXL (ladies) in tops and anywhere from a 14 to an 18 in bottoms. I haven’t had any plastic surgery to remove excess skin but I’d love to one day.

Some days I’m good with my vitamins, others I’m not. I pick myself up and start again. I have had the doses of several of my meds reduced greatly over the last few years. This year I actually wore a real bikini. Not a tankini. Skin that had never seen the sun now has a tan. I haven’t tattoos that celebrate my weight loss. My family and friends were so supportive- but if I had to thank one person- it would be @alittlelessofheather who shared her journey and took me under her wing. She answered my questions - oh there were so many and each milestone she celebrated. She kept me laughing. Thanks for everything!

“The biggest thing? She made me believe in myself again.”

Working with Heather over the last six months has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. I started this journey feeling overwhelmed, tired, & unsure of what direction to take after bariatric surgery... but Heather met me exactly where I was at.

She doesn’t coach from a pedestal, talking to her feels like talking to a friend who just gets it. She understands the mental side, the messy days, the food struggles, the wins that feel tiny to everyone else but massive to you. She never makes me feel judged, only supported.

Heather has helped me build habits I can actually stick to, has celebrated every milestone with me, & has gently pushed me when I needed it. The biggest thing? She made me believe in myself again.

I’m down inches, I’m stronger, I’m eating with intention, & I actually look forward to checking in with her. I can’t wait to see what the next six months look like, if they feel anything like the first six, I know I’m going to keep "leveling up" as Heather calls it, in ways I never imagined.

I’m so grateful I chose her. If you’re looking for a coach who brings real talk, & actual results... she’s the one.
Thank you Heather

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER

Let’s make it
feel simple.

Heather smiling beneath hanging daisies
Do I need to have had bariatric surgery?

No. You don’t need to have had bariatric surgery or want to lose weight. My coaching also supports overall wellness, confidence, personal growth, & leveling up in life. Tell me what becoming a better version of yourself means to you, & we’ll explore how I can support you.

Can I book just one call?

Absolutely. If you have a big event coming up, you’re feeling nervous before surgery, or you simply want to talk things through, you can enquire about a single support call. There’s no need to commit to ongoing coaching. I’ll confirm pricing, call length, & availability with you before you book.

What happens when I enquire?

Email me or send me an Instagram DM with a little about your goals & the support you’re looking for. I’ll talk through your options, current pricing, & available times with you before you decide.

What happens on our first call?

I’ll listen to where you’re at, what feels hard, & what you’d like support with. Together, we’ll talk through realistic next steps. You don’t need a perfect plan or the right words—just bring yourself.

How much does coaching cost?

I’ll confirm current pricing, call length, session frequency, & messaging availability with you before you book. Tell me which option interests you, or ask me to help you choose.

Do I have to use Instagram?

No. You can email me at alittlelessofheather@gmail.com. Choose whichever way feels easiest for you.

When are coaching sessions available?

Ongoing coaching includes two 30–60 minute calls each week, on Mondays & Thursdays. Choose video or audio—whichever feels right that day. Your call times are confirmed before booking.

What if I need to reschedule?

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when cancelling or rescheduling a session. Any additional package terms will be confirmed before you book.

Can you help with nutrition?

Yes. I offer general nutritional advice, practical meal ideas, & support with building balanced, protein-forward eating habits that fit your everyday life.

Can you support me if I’m considering skin removal?

Yes. I’ve had 12+ surgeries altogether, including procedures to remove over 20 pounds of excess skin. I understand that skin removal can be a tough journey to go through alone. I offer emotional support, encouragement, & a space to talk through your hopes & concerns, while your surgical team guides your medical decisions & recovery care.

Is coaching a substitute for medical care?

My coaching includes general nutritional guidance, habits, wellbeing, & accountability. Medical nutrition therapy, medical care, & mental health treatment remain with your qualified healthcare professionals, including your bariatric care team.
