About Amanda

20+ years in the nutrition field, I started this journey as a graduate from the Pennsylvania State University and have spent much of my career as a weight management Specialist, Sports Dietitian, and Diabetes Education Specialist. Most of my life was spent in Hawaii, but I am from Pennsylvania. Now living busy mom life with 2 young boys and managing a career I love.

Approach to care

Changing people’s lives by making them feel the best they can; bringing people to bring out their best and achieve their goals daily. Life is short… feel good today by taking that first step towards "your best" health. Everyone is at a different stage of their life and I try assess what stage of change they may be at so we know what kind of goals and can be set at our sessions.

Will spend time discussing current eating and health habits, meal timing, sleeping, stress, and exercise. Will develop a realistic plan together on what to adjust based on your goals.
