Hi there! I’m Amy.
I help women in midlife and beyond reclaim health and vibrance from the burdens of aging, stress and gut imbalances.
Imagine your best self…You have a lot of dreams. You have accomplished so much and yet you have so many hopes you want to fulfill.
But often it feels like your body has become a stranger - and you aren’t always able to prioritize self-care. Now you feel like you no longer know what your body needs to feel energized, empowered and resilient. The result… you are depleted and frustrated and experiencing emotions and health changes that maybe you chalk up to menopause or to aging or stress. Or maybe your health practitioner or friend told you what you were feeling - or your lab results - were “normal.” And you are feeling anything but normal!
I want to ask you three questions.
What would it feel like to get back to your best self?
What if you felt the confidence of knowing what steps would bring you there?
What would you be able to do if you felt energetic, empowered and truly able to thrive?
With practical, compassionate CHOICES you can age powerfully, maintain energy, and manage the challenges of midlife and beyond. And as a board-certified holistic nutrition counselor, I can help women of all ages identify the unique imbalances that are slowing you down and prioritize the personal nutrition, mindset, exercise and stress-care steps that can help you age better, think clearly and reclaim the life you were meant to live. Together, we can reclaim your freedom from the emotional and physical challenges of midlife and long-term health issues that are holding you back from living your life fully.
Isn’t it time to take back your “youfulness”?
What people are saying…
“Enlisting Amy in my wellness journey came as a recommendation from my functional medicine doctor, and I could not be more thankful! Amy’s deep knowledge, patience, and tailored approach have empowered me take control of my gut health, and feel motivated and excited to continue down the path of wellness.”
It all starts with nourishment.
Whether you are dealing with hormone imbalances, transitioning through perimenopause or menopause, burdened by digestive disorders, frustrated by blood sugar issues or navigating more complex chronic or autoimmune issues, nourishing yourself is the foundation of healing. And all nourishment begins in the gut.
Gut function (and DYSfunction) can have a significant impact on your hormones, your skin, your metabolism, your joints, your energy, your brain health, your immunity, and your risk of developing or worsening autoimmune disease — not to mention your whole outlook on life. Your gut lining is rich in friendly bacteria that help you digest food and synthesize nutrients a.k.a. goddess fuel. This amazing little ecosystem is the gut microbiome and we are still learning new things every day about the importance a woman’s microbiomes - there’s many - play in her ability to thrive.
Gut issues affect more than 100 million women and we are twice as likely to experience digestive dysfunction than men. But how often do you talk about poop or constipation or acid reflux with your girlfriends… or even your doctor? Digestive concerns are often a result of a culture that forces women to value stress and busy-ness over conscious living and burn out from excess dieting, antibiotics and overmedicating, inflammatory foods, environmental toxins and convenience foods.
Millions of women offer suffer gut burdens silently… and needlessly… when nutrition and wellness changes can make a world of difference.
I am passionate about empowering women to discover how embracing a nutrient-dense eating approach coupled with self-kindness, food education and a mindful lifestyle can dramatically change the course of her life.
Together, let’s take back your microbiome… and unlock your natural ability to thrive and heal.

Making shifts to your lifestyle and way of eating can seem overwhelming but they don’t have to be. Empowerment starts with education and know-how. From embracing subtle shifts in mindset to adding in yummy foods you didn’t even know you were missing, each step forward strengthens your gut and empowers your healing.

“I believe many women have been made to feel shame about their bodies after forty and are fearful and confused about what diet and lifestyle changes are right for them. The truth is what used to work for us often needs to be replaced with more nurturing self-care practices and a renewed focus on gut health. And with that we empower ourselves to live more creatively and vibrantly.”

Eating to support your hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, foster gut health and enhance metabolism doesn’t have to be fancy nor flavorless. And it doesn’t require you to have knife skills like a contestant on Chopped! I love to share recipes that are mega-flavorful and contain superfoods that really pack a nutrient-dense punch but don’t require much time or complicated ingredients.
“We all know one-size definitely does not fit all. Figuring out the foods, lifestyle and beliefs that best support you can help you make small steps toward big hormone + aging transformation.”
