About Amy

Hello! I'm a nutrition-loving, fitness-forward, but very-much-a-realist kind of dietitian when it comes to lifestyle and diet changes. That means we work together to establish an eating pattern that is unique and realistic for YOU, without restricting favorite foods and following a strict diet. My professional background is in the diabetes arena, where I help individuals improve blood sugar, A1c, and insulin resistance using a sustainable, holistic approach.

Approach to care

My approach to care hinges on your needs; after all, you know you best and what it will take to make lifestyle changes. My role is to provide accountability and education to help get you there. I believe in rebuilding a relationship with food in a positive way, even when weight loss is a goal. My specialty areas include pre and type II diabetes management as well as improving general health. I will not tell you to cut carbs or remove favorite foods to manage diabetes or lose weight! And you'll learn why this isn't necessary or often the best option to lower A1c or lose weight.

Your first session with Amy

In your first session I want to get to know you and understand what you'd like to improve on as well as what you've tried before. After completing a mini assessment, we will identify the most realistic area to focus on, and we work together to come up with a detailed plan on what your goals are, whether that be weight loss, health improvement, blood sugar management, etc. I'm here to help YOU uncover how you can meet these goals, even if they are goals you've pursued in the past without success.
