About Amanda

Hi, I'm Amanda. With 20 years as a Registered Dietitian and a PhD in Applied & Community Nutrition, I blend science with real-life practicality to help people nourish themselves without guilt. I’ve worked in research and academia and in community health, learning what it takes for healthy eating to fit real lives. I carry my RDN credential with pride, and I bring a curious, collaborative approach to every session. When I’m not at the desk, I enjoy learning from the people and places around me and exploring ways to connect food, health, and everyday joy in meaningful ways.

Approach to care

Everything I do starts with evidence and empathy. I stay grounded in current science and proven protocols, but I meet you where you are. My approach is direct and action-oriented: we translate insights into practical steps, track progress, and adjust as needed. I embrace health at every size, focusing on behaviors and wellbeing rather than a number on a scale. I see you as a whole person, mentally, emotionally, and physically, and I believe lasting change comes from sustainable habits, curiosity, and education that empowers you to make informed choices. We'll work together to turn knowledge into everyday routines.

Your first session with Amanda

Think of our first visit as a conversation designed to understand you. We'll review your medical history, lab work or biometrics, and your relationship with food in a safe, non-judgmental space. Together we'll set short-term goals you can actually achieve and feel proud of. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet; I'll guide the conversation and help you identify where to start. Our goal is to build a practical plan that fits your life and supports steady, sustainable progress.
