About Amanda

Hey! I'm Amanda, a dietitian based in Indiana. With seven years of experience across multiple specialties, I like to bring a practical, science-informed approach to our sessions. I trained at Purdue University and completed my supervised practice with UChicago Medicine. That's where I learned how to translate complex research into doable, realistic plans that are actually easy to digest. As an RD, I believe in meeting you where you're at. When I'm not working, I love cooking and baking, live music, traveling to new places, and chasing my kids around!

Approach to care

My care philosophy is collaborative, warm, and focused on lasting change. I don't want you to need me forever! :) We'll work together to understand your habits, daily routines, and what sustainable success looks like for you. I embrace your reality and consider the whole person mind, body, and environment. Education is at the heart of our work so you leave with practical skills you can carry forward long after our sessions.

Your first session with Amanda

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll start by reviewing your medical history and current routines, establish short-term goals, and look at any labs or biometrics to guide our plan. We'll dive into your relationship with food and the factors that influence eating patterns, with plenty of time for questions. You don't need to have it all figured out yet. We'll explore together and set a couple of realistic next steps to begin.
