WELCOME
​
My name is Amanda and I want to help. I’ve been providing nutrition counseling since 2013, helping people cultivate better relationships with food and learn to trust their bodies again (or maybe for the first time ever). My areas of expertise include disordered eating, formally diagnosed eating disorders of all kinds, diet burnout, pre-natal and post-partum nutrition, and weight-neutral, non-diet management of PCOS. As a Certified Body Image Coach and a Health at Every Size® practitioner, I pride myself on creating a space that is safe for all bodies.
ABOUT ME
I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Certified Body Image Coach with over a decade of experience helping individuals heal their relationship with food, body, and self. I specialize in eating disorder treatment, body image support, PCOS nutrition, and perinatal nutrition counseling, offering compassionate support and care at an outpatient level.​
​
I am a proud member of the International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians (IFEDD), the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP), and the Columbia River Eating Disorder Network, staying actively connected to the latest research and best practices in the field of eating disorder recovery.
​
Originally from Colorado, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master’s in Nutrition from Colorado State University. My work is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach, and I am passionate about helping clients find peace with food and their bodies.
​
When I’m not supporting clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young daughters, playing volleyball, enjoying the sunshine, and watching stand-up comedy.
MY APPROACH
I believe you are the expert on your own body. Deep within, you already have the wisdom to know what your body needs—what makes it feel energized, nourished, and at ease, and what doesn’t.
​
​But over time, diet culture, chronic stress, and social conditioning can cause us to disconnect from those natural signals. We begin to question our hunger, ignore our fullness, and feel overwhelmed by conflicting messages about food and body.
​
My role is to offer the guidance, support, and education you need to rebuild trust with your body. Through a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach, I’ll help you tune back into your body’s internal cues so you can make choices based on what truly feels good—not rules, restrictions, or guilt. When you’re connected to your body’s signals, you can stop obsessing over what to eat, when, and how much—because your body just knows
But What About Health!??
​
You are a unique individual, operating within a unique set of genetic predispositions and life circumstances. Because of this, living a "healthy" life is going to mean something different for you than it does someone else.
When we think about “health,” most of us automatically think about physical activity and nutrition. These things do play a role. But in order to live a truly healthy life, we must also consider the many other elements that contribute such as social and psychological well-being.
​
So whether it be having enough stamina to go on a backpacking trip or feeling able to enjoy a slice of cake without guilt, I can help you figure out what "health" means for you. We can then begin the process of cultivating the life that gets you there.

Acknowledgement of Privilege and the Commitment to Doing Better
I operate in this world as a thin, white, cis-gendered, heterosexual, able-bodied individual. These things give me a lot of unearned privilege. While I cannot truly understand what it is like to walk the world in different shoes, please know that I do my best to be welcoming and respectful of all bodies regardless of size/shape, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, and dis/ability. I welcome all of my clients to give me feedback if/when I say things that are uninformed or clouded by my privilege. I am always learning.
