Amelia O'Brien-Combs

About Amelia

Hi! I'm Mia (she/her). I’m a Registered Dietitian dedicated to providing culturally centered, accessible, and compassionate nutrition care. I utilize intuitive eating principles and motivational interviewing with an “all foods fit” and gentle nutrition approach. My work is rooted in a deep understanding of how our environment shapes our wellbeing. I've worked at various levels of care with clients with eating disorders, diabetes, and chronic disease prevention and management. I also bring years of experience in research and community health equity to my nutrition approach.

Approach to care

I am committed to providing evidence based nutrition therapy that also honors and celebrates your lived experience. I will work with you from a place of curiosity and together we will develop tools, skills, and knowledge to better understand and nourish your body while working towards your health goals.

Your first session with Amelia

The first session is all about getting to know you! We'll talk about your health history, your relationship with food, daily habits, and what you are hoping to get out of working with an RDN. We'll then work together to create a plan.
