The Veg Academy

The Veg Academy, founded by Heather Dahman, is dedicated to helping people adopt a plant-based lifestyle, which contributes to the welfare of animals and helps in the prevention and reversal of diseases. Heather's transition to veganism nearly 15 years ago was not only a step towards aligning with her ethical beliefs but also led to the discovery of significant health benefits, sparking her dedication to this cause.

Heather is a licensed PCRM Food for Life Instructor, a Master Vegan Lifestyle Coach & Educator, and has certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center and Ayurvedic Nutrition.

At The Veg Academy, Heather’s approach is holistic, integrating the principles of modern nutrition and Ayurvedic wisdom to guide others on their plant-based journey through personalized coaching, custom meal planning, and plant-based cooking classes. Alongside this, she and her husband run The Herbivore Next Door, an online store for vegan apparel and gifts.

Heather is deeply committed to promoting kindness and respect for all living beings. She finds great joy and privilege in living out these values every day, experiencing the health benefits they bring, and is passionate about sharing her plant-based lifestyle journey with others.
