About Amelia
Hi! I’m a Registered Dietitian with over 12 years of experience providing nutrition education and counseling to individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I have worked with pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women and their children in the WIC program. I also have experience educating individuals with pre diabetes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and weight management concerns. I have my Board Certification as a Specialist in Renal Nutrition and have comprehensive knowledge and extensive experience working with individuals with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease on dialysis. I believe there is a place for all foods as part of a healthy, balanced diet to help us nourish our bodies.
