About Mandy

Hi, I’m Mandy, a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience helping people build a better relationship with food and understand nutrition. My approach is practical, encouraging, and rooted in real life. Whether you're navigating a health condition, disordered eating, an athlete, or just want to feel better in your body - I provide clear, evidence-based support (no food rules or guilt). I’m also a swim coach and former competitive swimmer who struggled with eating disorders. I know how much food impacts energy, strength, and recovery. I commonly support clients with: General wellness & sustainable habits Sports nutrition Disordered eating/eating disorder recovery I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans or cutting out your favorite foods. I help clients create simple, realistic strategies that fit their life. Outside of work, you’ll find me at the pool, out for a run, or keeping up with my kids. I’m so glad you’re here!

Approach to care

I use a gentle, caring approach with all clients, giving feedback, encouragement and occasionally tough love when needed. I believe in intuitive eating practices and learning to feel what your body needs without restriction or guilt. I do believe in accountability and honesty so that I can help you best.

Your first session with Mandy

In our first session we'll get to know each other a bit, and you'll tell me a bit about your goals, struggles and what you want to accomplish with me. I'll also want to hear your food preferences, maybe outside activities, work life if applicable and what meal times look like for you. You'll also be able to ask me anything you want! To finish off, I may give you one goal or one "something" to work on before our next meeting.
