AMANDA NINES, RD, LDN

Amanda Nines is a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist who provides nutritional counseling for children, teens, and adults. She supports clients navigating emotional eating, eating disorders, ARFID, weight concerns, body image challenges, and general wellness goals. Her goal is to help clients build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food, movement, and their bodies.

Many people come to nutrition support feeling frustrated, discouraged, or disconnected from their own hunger, health, and self-trust.
