About Amanda

Food and the science behind it have shaped my work for twenty years. I earned a B.S. in Nutritional Science at UC Davis and completed my dietetic internship at UC Davis Medical Center, then practiced in hospital settings before starting my private practice. When I'm not with patients you'll find me gardening, hiking, or testing a new baking recipe. I love empowering people to make informed, lasting changes.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy guide how I support people. I rely on current research to inform clear, practical steps, while keeping the conversation warm and judgment-free. We'll focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes, looking at the whole person, including sleep, stress, movement, and emotions. I teach skills and explain the why behind recommendations, so you can make informed choices and build long-term change.

Your first session with Amanda

Expect a relaxed, low-pressure visit where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. We'll talk through your routines, wins, and frustrations, and identify what matters most to you. From that conversation we'll set one or two short-term, achievable goals and agree on practical next steps. You don't need to have everything figured out beforehand, just bring your questions and we'll work together to create a plan that feels doable.
