Biography :
Heather Manley was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She studied biology at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. Initially she focused on wildlife conservation and animal biology, however, with some exposure to naturopathic medicine, this health care philosophy rang true for her. She switched to pre-med and graduated in 1993 and earned her doctorate from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon before moving with her family to Hawaii where she became licensed and continues to practice today. She began her writing once her children were born and realized the importance of teaching them, by example, about healthy food and lifestyle. Telling them what to eat was not enough, so she created and wrote educational adventure stories that have evolved into the Activity Workbook and Audio CD Human Body Detective series.
The idea for the Human Body Detectives (HBD) audio book and workbook series came about when she realized that if kids understand how the food they eat plays a direct role in how their bodies function, they will be more inclined to make healthy food choices.
As a naturopathic doctor and a mother, she continually searches for books and resources that provide healthy eating tips and encourages parents to make healthy food choices for kids, and more importantly, encourage kids to make healthy food and lifestyle choices for themselves. She discovered there were very few books out there promoting kids’ health in a fun way, and none designed to teach kids about health by focusing on the specific body systems.
While seeing patients part time, talking to elementary aged children and writing and producing her books she launched her website, www.drheathernd.com. The site represents her dream of providing a resource for people to learn about preventative health care and take charge of their own and their family’s health.
