Enjoy food again
If dieting, gut issues or food sensitivities have taken your joy out of eating, learn how to get it back.
Have you tried it all, but still feel stuck?
You’re not alone!
The never ending barrage of diets, food rules, apps and social media tricks leave you feeling exhausted and don’t give you what you really need: hope that you can feel better in your body and a clear path for how to get there.
There is hope and better way forward with food.
With personalized nutrition counseling, you get the expert guidance you need to find a new path forward with food – one that leaves you feeling your best.
Areas of specialty
Find the freedom you’ve been looking for
Eat more foods with confidence
Working with a nutrition expert helps you expand your diet safely and confidently. Through our sessions, you’ll learn which foods truly work for your body and how to incorporate new options without anxiety or digestive distress.
Many clients are surprised by how many “off-limits” foods they can actually enjoy again.
Take the anxiety out of eating
Food anxiety can be paralyzing, turning meals into stressful events rather than enjoyable experiences. My approach combines nutrition science with mindfulness techniques to help you develop a peaceful relationship with food. Together we’ll work through fear-based eating patterns and build lasting confidence around meal choices.
Reclaim your life from persistent gut issues
Gut symptoms don’t have to control your life. As a specialist in digestive health, I offer evidence-based strategies to identify triggers, implement gentle nutrition changes, and collaborate with your medical team when needed. My clients often find relief from symptoms that have persisted despite multiple elimination diets or medical interventions.
Become an intuitive eater and say goodbye to dieting
The diet cycle leaves many feeling frustrated and disconnected from their body’s natural hunger and fullness cues. As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I’ll guide you through the principles of Intuitive Eating to develop a sustainable, peaceful relationship with food based on internal wisdom rather than external food rules.
Work with me and feel the difference
Not all nutrition professionals practice with the same approach. For example, I take a weight neutral approach in my counseling sessions. Here are a few other ways that I stand out:
Personalized nutrition counseling
Need help wading through all of the nutrition advice? Want to know what really matters for you? Nutrition counseling with me always begins with a thorough nutrition assessment so I can tailor my approach to you and your specific needs.
Evidence based
When it comes to really changing your health with nutrition, you need evidenced based guidance. I keep up-to-date with the latest research to provide you with the best recommendations.
Holistic approach
The brain, the body and our social situation are all connected and heavily influence each other. Each play a significant role in our health. We’ll take all of this into consideration in our work together.
Empathetic care
Having been through my own complex health journey, with seemingly mysterious symptoms, I know firsthand how hard it can be to navigate healthcare and find relief.

Hi! I’m Amy, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
I love helping people rediscover the joy of eating while also helping them feel good in their bodies. In nutrition counseling sessions with me you have my expert guidance in getting you from restricted diets and not feeling well to eating more freely and feeling good.
When you work with me we always start with a thorough assessment so I can see the whole picture of where you’ve been and what you’ve tried. From there we work collaboratively to make an action plan of steps you can take to get you feeling better and eating freely.
What clients are saying
I had never worked with a dietitian before. Amy was a really good listener, provided solid advice, and really knew her stuff! With the addition of some enzyme supplements I’m eating foods I’d been avoiding. Amy is very easy to work with & she really helped me a lot.
-Carolyn in Danville, CA
I really enjoy working with Amy! She is so kind, considerate and compassionate. I appreciate how patient she is with me and so warm and supportive. I feel so seen and heard. I also feel very equipped with the right tools to continue to broaden my diet.
-Heather in Walnut Creek, CA
Before working with Amy, I was getting little to no help at all when it came to dealing with how to manage what I ate in regards to how it effected the pain in my stomach. I was starving on a bland diet, afraid to eat. With Amy’s guidance, my diet has variety and my comfort level has improved immensely.
-Zachariah in Berkeley, CA
I was so defeated and frustrated by my gut issues prior to meeting Amy. I would spend more than 40mins in the bathroom multiple times a day, I felt bloated and uncomfortable all the time even without eating any food. It was affecting my confidence and mental health. I’ve found so much more clarity around my symptoms since working with Amy. I’ve noticed significant improvements (way less bloating, more regular bowel movements, more energy etc ). Her knowledge along with her patience and encouragement has helped me feel a lot more in control with my body.
-Felicity in San Francisco, CA
Amy caters to your specific needs and really hears patient’s concerns. She has great ideas and works well with children.
-Sarah, mother of a pediatric patient in San Lorenzo, CA
Since working with Amy, my relationship with food has improved significantly. I no longer feel afraid to try new foods, and I have a much healthier mindset around eating. I’ve also realized that my GI issues are not always caused by food other factors in my life can play a role as well. Overall, I feel better both physically and mentally, and I’m continuing to make progress.
-Katie in Lexington, KY
I feel that I am eating more healthy food and enjoy cooking my meals now. I would recommend Amy to others. She is a kind and professional RDN and she helped me a lot changing my lifestyle.
-M in Alameda, CA
I can actually eat again! And I am not in pain every single day. Amy is fabulous and really knows what she is talking about. She doesn’t dismiss symptoms, feelings, and emotions associated with everything I have been going through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work with a dietitian online in California?
Yes, I offer virtual nutrition counseling throughout California. Sessions take place on Zoom and new patient forms, booking and payment happen through my HIPAA compliant patient portal, Healthie.
Who should see a dietitian?
Anyone looking to use dietary changes to improve their health would benefit from working with a dietitian.
In my practice I work with teens and adults. I help people looking for nutrition help with gut health, emotional eating, pre-diabetes, heart health and anti-inflammatory eating.
Should I see a dietitian or a nutritionist?
When you need expert nutrition guidance, choose to work with a dietitian.
The term “nutritionist” isn’t a regulated term and anyone can use it to describe themselves. The term “Registered Dietitian” (or “Registered Dietitian Nutritionist”) is a regulated term. Only those who have completed specified academic course work, completed a period of supervised practice, passed a national registration examination, and complete ongoing continuing education can be called “Registered Dietitians”.
Dietitians are qualified to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy, whereas nutritionists are not. Medical Nutrition Therapy is the level of care you need if you are exploring dietary changes to manage a medical diagnosis.
