Amanda is a Registered Dietitian who graduated from Northern Illinois University with her Masters of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics. Amanda also completed a Certificate of Graduate study in Eating Disorders as well as her dietetic internship through NIU which is where her interest in working with eating disorders took off. Amanda has worked across a variety of levels of care in the eating disorder treatment world for the last 7 years and has taken a special interest in working with ARFID across the life span.  

Amanda provides trauma informed, neurodiversity affirming, and individualized care to her clients. After discovering the high correlations between ARFID and neurodivergence, Amanda has taken an interest in learning more about these populations so she can implement new, creative, and individualized treatment strategies to support clients in living their best nourished lives. She is currently working toward an Autism specialist certificate to aid in her skillset. Amanda enjoys getting creative with kids and adults in the kitchen, whether it’s just to play with food, cook it, or eat it! Amanda takes a non-diet approach to her nutrition philosophies while honoring client’s goals and being there to provide accountability and support throughout your journey.  

Outside of work you can find Amanda moving through the waves of those Neurospicy hyper fixations (Usually craft or DIY related), spending time with her dog, friends, and family preferably outdoors and near a body of water, or relaxing with a book or docuseries.
