About Amanda

Hi, I'm Amanda! I am a Connecticut-based Registered Dietitian with a passion for empowering people like you to live healthier, happier lives. With over 5 years of experience in nutrition care, I specialize in the prevention and management of chronic conditions, with a particular focus on pre-diabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and weight management. Whether you’re managing a new or chronic health condition, navigating a complicated relationship with food, or simply seeking healthier habits, my goal is to help you build a solid foundation for long-term wellness.

Approach to care

I believe in holistic wellness, which means I consider all aspects of your life—your physical, emotional, and mental well-being—when guiding you toward your goals. Nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle, and I’m here to help you integrate mindful eating and healthy habits into a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle. I understand that every individual is unique, so I take the time to meet you exactly where you are on your health journey. What’s important to me is empowering you to make decisions that align with your values and priorities. Together, we will leave behind the restrictive diets and quick fixes, and build practical, manageable systems that work for you and your lifestyle.

Your first session with Amanda

I’m excited to get to know you better during our first session! We’ll spend time discussing your current nutrition habits, daily routines, and any challenges or interests you have related to your health. This will enable us to work together to create a personalized, sustainable plan that fits your needs, preferences, and schedule, making wellness a realistic part of your everyday life.
