About Amanda

Hello! My name is Amanda and I am thrilled to work with you as your dietitian! When I am not seeing clients I also teach nutrition students at a local college. I'm a busy mom from day to day and have found that the lesson's learned around my own dinner table often provide the most valuable insights for working with clients on their unique wellness journeys. I specialize in pre & postnatal nutrition, weight management, support for patients on weight loss medications, family nutrition, "picky" eating, diabetes, heart health and food allergies.

Approach to care

I bring a practical, down-to earth approach to nutrition based on both real life experience and evidence-based nutrition research. My approach centers on whole foods that nourish your body and support your health objectives, whether you’re managing a health condition, wanting to lose weight or simply wanting to feel more energetic in your daily life. I believe nutrition should be personalized to fit your unique lifestyle and goals - not the other way around.

Your first session with Amanda

During your first session I like to get to know all about you! You can expect a warm and understanding environment. I will ask you about your day to day to help me carefully make a plan that suites you best! I will have you walk me through your day from start to finish where you will describe some typical meals, snacks and drinks you consume. I strive to help patients overcome any challenges or barriers that have kept them from reaching their goals in the past. My goal is to not only help curate a plan for you and to be your number one cheerleader, but to help you know that health is possible for you!
