Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ventura, CA

Clients who seek to work with Amy have often pursued other avenues of nutrition management, including diets, traditional meal plans, and other healthcare professionals as a means to meet their goals. Frequently, Amy provides a more in-depth examination of external tools, and encourages clients to inquire within and challenge themselves to view their food and their relationship with the body and self differently. In our current health climate, Amy also sees a number of clients who seek to address gastrointestinal conditions and autoimmune issues that interfere with feeding themselves and promote or encourage disordered eating.

90% of health conditions and diseases can be prevented by proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Not only does management and prevention of chronic health conditions improve the quality and satisfaction of living, but it also adds years and saves money later in life. The sooner you take the steps to a healthier life, the sooner you’ll feel better, happier, more energized, and more confident about your appearance. I’m here to help you set the foundation for a more fulfilling life you can enjoy with family and friends in years to come!

I understand that life can become quite hectic, making it challenging to prioritize your health and wellbeing. If you find yourself in need of assistance in achieving your health goals, managing your meal times, or fueling your busy lifestyle, I am here to offer my expertise. Working with me comes with several benefits, including motivational interviewing, personalized meal plans, and a comprehensive understanding of how nutrition impacts our bodies.

As a functional nutrition and health coach, I know that you are unique and one solution (or pill!) does not fit all. After childhood allergies/asthma, frequent infections and fatigue, I was diagnosed with reproductive cancer and an autoimmune disease. I've been through it all, so I understand how frustrated you feel when your body stops working. Together, we'll build a strong foundation for you from the ground up with food, lifestyle and mindset enhancements. My programs improve sleep, energy, mental focus, and build better lifelong habits so you can accomplish more every day.

I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics. I entered into the nutrition field to help others create a healthy relationship with food and to stop the dieting battle that is so prevalent in our society. If you are tired of battling with food and diets, tired of the guilt and frustration around food, tired of dealing with weight and health issues, or just want to make some changes to your diet and work on your relationship with your body, then I can help.

Medical diagnoses are freightenting. Often, I have found my clients receive little education on ways to manage clinical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes. With limited guidance, their condition progresses and can result in profound impacts on physical and mental health, and quality of life.

I work with clients who have been struggling with chronic digestive problems and the conventional health care model has been unable to help them. Many of the clients I work with have removed the majority (if not all) of their favorite foods from their diet due to these chronic digestive problems. I guide clients on how to expand their diet and improve tolerance to foods again to get their quality of life back! In addition to digestive problems, I work with clients who lack awareness on how to meet their nutritional needs on a plant-based diet and also offer personalized grocery shopping tours.

If you are looking to reshape your relationship with food, mind, and body, look no further. We live in a world obsessed with food, fitness, and figure, which has only led to even more stress in our lives! Allow us to guide you on a journey in rediscovering your joy for eating and movement. Our dietitians specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, addiction, and mental health disorders, but our approach is also uniquely suited for those who are fed up with frequent dieting, disappointed by their bodies, and looking for a new way to find life fulfilling again.
