Hi, I'm Amanda!

​My practice is rooted in a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach. I enjoy working with adults who are seeking a more peaceful, sustainable approach to nutrition and well-being - whether they're looking to improve their relationship with food, manage chronic health conditions, or simply feel more confident and competent in how they nourish themselves.

​I've been a registered dietitian for over a decade, with most of my career spent working in outpatient oncology services. I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals interested in cancer prevention, survivorship, and rebuilding their relationship with food after a diagnosis.

In recent years, I’ve expanded my work to include a focus on intuitive eating and family feeding dynamics—an interest that deepened after becoming a parent myself. Navigating feeding with my own child gave me a new perspective on the challenges and joys of building a positive relationship with food from the very beginning.​

​I'm a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and have completed training through the Ellyn Satter Institute in Eating Competence and the "how to eat" method. ​My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to meet people wherever they are in their journey and support them in building a grounded, trusting relationship with food and their bodies.

I grew up in Minnesota but fell in love with the Pacific Northwest during my dietetic internship at OHSU in Portland.

Rock climbing, mountain biking, and mushroom hunting are how I used to enjoy the outdoors—now I’ve added playground hopping to the list since becoming a parent. I also love hosting cookbook clubs with friends, listening to cooking podcasts, and sharing meals with people I care about.

In addition to seeing clients through this practice, I work as a dietitian at the University of Washington Medical Center, primarily supporting cancer patients. I also previously worked in home infusion, helping people manage tube feeding and IV nutrition at home.

These experiences showed me how important food is—not just for nourishment, but for comfort, pleasure, and quality of life. I’ve seen firsthand how losing the ability to eat or enjoy food can take a toll—physically, emotionally, and socially—which is why I’m so passionate about helping people reconnect with food in a way that feels good and sustainable.
