Hi, I’m Renee — a passionate dietitian who believes that food is so much more than fuel. It’s connection, comfort, and one of the most powerful tools we have to support health and happiness. My journey into nutrition began with a deep curiosity about how what we eat shapes how we feel — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, helping them cut through confusion, rebuild a healthy relationship with food, and find joy in nourishing themselves without restriction or guilt.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.

If you struggle with a complicated relationship with food—whether through restriction, bingeing, or constant stress about eating—you may feel frustrated and overwhelmed. For more than 20 years, I’ve walked alongside people just like you who want freedom from food rules, guilt, and shame. What you really want is peace: to feel confident eating without second-guessing, to trust your body, and to focus on living your life rather than battling your plate. Your goal may be better health, but also to rebuild confidence, self-compassion, and balance in a way that lasts.

Practicing acupuncture and herbal medicine for over 20 years has given me the opportunity to address a wide range of conditions from the common cold to immune related disorders. As well, I can see that in most cases nutrition and lifestyle have a significant impact on the number of treatments necessary to correct the issue. I welcome patients that are open to making changes in these areas that will assist their care and lead them toward a state of health and wellness.

Welcome! I’m Amanda (she/her), one of the registered dietitians at Redefined Nutrition. I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD/Autism navigate the challenges they face with eating and nourishing their bodies, as it can often feel like one more thing to juggle. Distractions, sensory sensitivities, and inconsistent eating habits make things like meal planning and staying on track feel like a constant struggle. As a neurodivergent dietitian, I understand these challenges firsthand. Managing nutrition isn’t just about food—it’s about understanding how your unique brain works and finding ways to make eating less overwhelming.

I want to help you get better. Through my own health struggles I found the value of integrative medicine. I suffered for a long time with Crohn's Disease, an autoimmune disease, and improved greatly with the help of a naturopathic doctor. My approach to patient care comes from this unique perspective. When we work together you'll be listened to and be given the time to ask any questions you may have.

As a non-diet, Health at Every Size aligned dietitian, I enjoy working with individuals who want to better their lives through dietary and lifestyle changes. I've seen the positive effects of eating to nourish body and mind and the negative effects when clients are not meeting their nutrition needs. Working with clients to develop a plan to help meet their needs, often reducing physical and mental stress, is a passion of mine. We discuss individualized goals that work within the bounds of a person's lifestyle and preferences.
