About
Hi there — I’m Amy.
I am passionate about helping those with diabetes. I had Gestational Diabetes in two of my pregnancies and struggled with controlling pre-diabetes after. Several of my family members have suffered significant complications to their health due to uncontrolled diabetes.
This led to a focus on studying nutritional therapy and health coaching, turning my passion and experience with diabetes to a dedication to help others by becoming an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach. I have helped many people make healthy lifestyle changes to improve their blood sugar and reduce or eliminate medications.
My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention. I work with clients to help make lifestyle changes and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. You will develop a deeper understanding of food and lifestyle choices that work best for you, improving your health and reducing blood sugar and A1C levels.
I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition*, studying a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. I also have a BS from Portland State University and an MBA from Marylhurst University.
I studied with the world's top health and wellness experts including:
Joshua Rosenthal, founder of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition
Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, chair of nutrition at Harvard University
Andrew Weil, MD, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine
Gabrielle Bernstein, bestselling author and life coach
Susan Blum, MD, MPH, assistant clinical professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Mark Hyman, MD, founder of The UltraWellness Center
Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating
David Wolfe, raw food leader and nutrition expert
Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH, professor at New York University’s Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health
Mark Bittman, food writer for The New York Times and bestselling author
Joel Fuhrman, MD, family physician and leading expert on nutritional healing
As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully and we’ll navigate the world of contradictory nutrition and health advice together to explore what truly works for you.
