Patient reviews
“Working with Amethyst has been nothing short of transformative. She took the time to truly understand my goals, medical history, and lifestyle — and created a personalized plan that was both realistic and empowering. Her guidance has helped me not only make sustainable changes to my diet, but also improve my energy levels and feel more in control of my health overall. Amethyst is amazing and I wish I could her 10 stars! “

About Amethyst
I have been a dietitian since 2013. I specialize in pre and post bariatric surgery, weight loss, weight loss drugs, food allergies, general wellness and cardiovascular health. I love helping patients achieve their goals and help them work through setbacks. In my free time, I love hanging out with my pup, going for hikes, spending time with family and friends and baking (everyone needs a cookie now and then!).
Approach to care
Dietitians aren't the food police. I like to help patients incorporate some of their favorite foods (the ones considered unhealthy) into their diet. Everything in moderation! I practice with empathy and understanding and love to help people find a sustainable way to eat healthy so it doesn't feel like a diet and feels more like a lifestyle.
Your first session with Amethyst
We will discuss why you want to work with a dietitian, your nutrition goals, your medical history, your nutrition history, a 24 hr diet recall and what you ultimately want to achieve by working with me and we will come up with an individualized plan to help you reach your goals.
