Testimonial from a Berkeley resident:

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 affected 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. Since working with her, I’m
able to eat foods I haven’t eaten in years all while not being hunched over in agonizing pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer virtual nutrition counseling 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.

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian in Berkeley?

Per the California Business Code for dietitians, yes, a physician’s referral is required (for CA residents). I’ll ask you to share your doctor’s name with me in the intake process so I can obtain the referral for you.

How much does nutrition counseling cost in Berkeley?

An initial session (55 minutes) is $225 and follow ups (up to 45 minutes) are $160

What happens in the first session with a dietitian?

The first session includes a thorough assessment of your medical and nutritional history. It’s a chance for me to hear your story, what’s worked, what hasn’t and what changes you’re hoping to see. After the assessment we work together to make an action plan with some concrete steps you can take right away. And we finish by making a plan for following up.

How long are nutrition counseling sessions?

The initial session is 55 minutes and follow ups are up to 45 minutes.

Do dietitians create meal plans?

Sometimes! In my practice I focus mostly on helping my patients build the skills they need to meal plan and build sustainable eating routines. And, when more guidance is needed, we can build specific meal plans together in session.

What’s the difference between a nutritionist and a registered 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”.
