About Amy

I am Amy Dickerson, a Registered Dietitian bringing a strong foundation from my experience in inpatient hospital care to my part-time work with Nourish. I hold a Master of Science in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Sensory Sciences from Kansas State University. I specialize in nutrition for disease prevention, heart health, and longevity, driven by a passion for the body's natural capacity to heal.

Approach to care

I utilize a compassionate and collaborative approach, focusing on gentle nutrition principles. While I incorporate expertise in plant-based eating, you absolutely do not have to eat plant-based for me to help you! My goal is to empower you with personalized strategies that align with your life and your food preferences, guiding you toward sustainable lifestyle changes and a vibrant, fulfilling life without guilt or rigidity.

Your first session with Amy

I can't wait to meet you! Our first 55-minute session is dedicated to building our collaborative partnership—which, as I've found, is the foundation for lasting success. We'll start with a relaxed conversation where I want to learn all about you, your interests, and your unique experiences. Then, we'll dive into a Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment to cover your medical history and lifestyle. This crucial step ensures I can create a personalized plan to address your unique health concerns and guide you toward achieving your best health. Together, we’ll establish achievable short-term and long-term goals, and you'll walk away with your first actionable recommendations right away. Finally, because consistent support is key to creating sustainable change, we’ll wrap up by setting up your weekly follow-up sessions. I look forward to starting this journey with you!
