About Amanda

Hi! I’m Amanda. I am an enthusiastic and creative registered dietitian and Board Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition, with a passion for food, cooking and helping others in their pursuit of health and wellness. I have over 15 years of experience working in acute care, pediatric hospitals, outpatient clinics and private practice, counseling both children and adults with a variety of medical conditions including weight management, cancer, heart disease, GI issues and epilepsy, with a particular interest in supporting children’s health, growth and nutrition. I believe in the importance of food for nourishment, health, connection and pleasure and believe there is no “one size fits all” approach to health and wellness.

Approach to care

I take a "whole person" approach to health and wellness, focusing on you as an individual to provide personalized nutrition education, plans and programs in a positive and non-judgmental environment. By taking all aspects of your lifestyle into consideration, we’ll assure that your customized nutrition plan will be easy to implement, and we will work together to help create sustainable habits to last a lifetime, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

Your first session with Amanda

Your first session is all about getting to know you. I want to understand your nutrition and wellness goals, as well as any anticipated barriers and challenges. We’ll also discuss your medical history, dietary preferences, lifestyle factors, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. Together, we’ll set a strong foundation for your progress moving forward, and determine short and long term goals, with initial steps towards achieving them
