About Amanda

Hi, I'm Amanda, a Registered Dietitian based in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. With seven years of experience across private practice, sports nutrition, clinical settings, community health, renal care, and women's health, I bring a practical, science-informed approach to everyday eating. I trained at Purdue University and completed my supervised practice with UChicago Medicine, where I learned to translate research into doable plans that are easy to digest. As an RDN and LD, I blend evidence with empathy. When I'm not working, I love cooking and baking, traveling to new places, and chasing my kids around.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is collaborative, warm, and focused on lasting change. I rely on current science to guide our plan, but I meet you where you are and tailor it to your life. We'll work together to understand your food habits, daily routines, and what sustainable success looks like for you. I embrace reality and consider the whole person mind, body, and environment. Education is at the heart of our work so you leave with practical skills you can carry forward long after our sessions.

Your first session with Amanda

Our first appointment is a welcoming, judgment-free conversation about you. We'll start by reviewing your medical history and current routines, establish short-term goals, and look at any labs or biometrics to guide our plan. We'll dive into your relationship with food and the factors that influence eating patterns, with plenty of time for questions. You don't need to have it all figured out yet. We'll explore together and set a couple of realistic next steps to begin.
