About Amanda

Hi everyone! I’m a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss and improve their heart health through realistic, evidence-based nutrition strategies. Since becoming an RD in 2019, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the role nutrition plays across the continuum of care. My interest in healthy eating and fitness began at a young age, and I’ve maintained that passion throughout my life. Like many of my patients, I’ve faced my own challenges with weight, which has only deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to creating personalized, judgment-free plans that truly work in the real world. Whether you're just starting your health journey or looking to fine-tune your habits, I’m here to support you every step of the way with practical guidance, encouragement, and a focus on long-term success.

Approach to care

I take an empathetic, balanced, and realistic approach to nutrition. My goal is to help you build healthy habits that feel sustainable. Not overwhelming or restrictive. I believe food should support your life, not control it. I focus on creating personalized plans that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition, so we’ll work together to find what works best for you. I’m here to provide guidance, accountability, and a supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients is really important to me. Whether you're working on weight loss, heart health, or just want to feel better in your body, I'm here to help you make lasting changes that actually stick.

Your first session with Amanda

In our first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other and talk through your health goals, lifestyle, and any challenges you’ve been facing. I’ll ask about your medical history, eating habits, daily routine, and anything else that helps me understand the full picture. From there, we’ll start building a personalized plan that feels realistic and sustainable for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clear idea of your next steps that will bring you closer to meeting your goals. We’ll move at your pace, and there’s always room for questions and conversation!
