Heidi Timken JD, Partner, Coach & Former Client

No doubt some of you are old enough to remember the old TV commercial where Victor Kiam looked straight into the camera a boasted: “I love this Remington shaver so much, I BOUGHT THE COMPANY!”

Well, Heidi is the Victor Kiam of Cambiati Wellness. In 2009, she was a 47-year-old trial lawyer, law firm owner, single mom to 2 teenage boys, lapsed athlete and all-around nutritional wreck. She had “starved herself” to a 30-pound weight gain by skipping meals altogether on a regular basis (breakfast and lunch usually) and eating really bad food late at night. Her body rebelled – it had no idea when its next meal was coming so it stored everything I ate as fat. She felt helpless and resigned to my middle-aged fate of unexplained weight gain and chronic exhaustion.

And then the universe intervened. On a whim, she enrolled in a 28-day cleanse class where she learned the principles which would soon become the building blocks for Cambiati Wellness. She learned how and when to nourish her body with whole, clean foods and realized that by eating more, she could weigh less.

She felt so good after the cleanse and was inspired to start Cambiati Wellness Programs so that she could share my newfound sense of wellness with the world. As a result, Cambiati Wellness is not only her company, but a community where she gathers strength and a deep, ongoing connection to health and well-being.

She has since retired from the practice of law and am now fully engaged in the practice of life. She spends time the staff and clients at Cambiati Wellness, travels with friends and family, and is an avid tennis and pickle ball player who spends time almost every day engaged in some type of physical activity – fueled by the principles of Cambiati Wellness.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Brown University and a Juris Doctorate with Honors from Golden Gate University School of Law. She was a founding partner at Timken Johnson LLP but has since retired.
