About Amy

Nutrition has been a throughline in my life, from textbooks to hospital floors and back to the kitchen. With 17 years as a Registered and Licensed Dietitian, I earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of Dayton and completed my dietetic internship at Emory Healthcare. I began as a Cardiac Dietitian at Emory, teaching patients recovering from angioplasty, then worked in clinical research at Novartis auditing cardiac trials focused on hypertension and diabetes, and supported regulatory work at Florence Healthcare. After a career break I returned to what I love most, educating people about sustainable eating. When I'm not working in Atlanta I read, experiment in the kitchen, or play tennis, and I bring that same curiosity about food to every conversation.

Approach to care

I use the best available science to guide practical, doable changes, while keeping weight neutral and behavior focused. In sessions we will translate evidence into steps that fit your life, so progress is sustainable rather than short lived. I aim to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, and we’ll set clear action items and accountability together. I also look beyond meals to sleep, stress, and routines, teaching the why behind recommendations so you can make informed choices long term.

Your first session with Amy

Expect a relaxed, low-pressure conversation where we'll get to know your medical history, daily routines, and relationship with food. We don't expect you to have all the answers, just your honest experience. Together we'll clarify short-term goals that feel doable and start building a meal plan that matches your preferences and needs. i want to make a healthy lifestyle - just that a lifestye. I am a busy mom with teens so I understand how overwhelming this can be. By the end you'll have clear next steps and a sense of how we'll work together to create sustainable habits.
