What they’re saying…

  • She gives great knowledge and makes the learning process easy.

    I have only done three months with Amanda and I can honestly say it was the best decision. Since working with her my autoimmune disease has given me no issues and my running only improved. She gives great knowledge and meal plans to make the learning process easy and I need easy. Work with Amanda and you will not be disappointed.

A message from the Amanda

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) that specializes in plant-based eating, sports nutrition, and the intersection of the two. I am an avid runner and former division 1 cross country/ track athlete. I am on a mission to show others that you can be successful in athletics and life fueled by plants.

Frequently asked questions

Most sessions are held online via a secure telehealth platform called Practice Better. If you are local to Chicago, IL and prefer in-person appointments, I have limited in-person availability. Contact me to set up an in-person meeting.

The frequency of one-on-one sessions varies, but for most people it will be weekly or every other week. Likely less often for longer term clients. The frequency of our meetings will depend on what your personal goals for nutrition counseling.

Initial sessions are 80-90 minutes. Follow-ups are typically 45-60 minutes, but some clients (especially longer term ones) may only need 30 minute follow-ups. Your first one-on-one session with me will be an Initial Session unless you’ve scheduled a stand-alone offering like a Custom Competition Fuel Plan session. You will be asked to fill out paperwork before your first session to make sure the session is as beneficial and comprehensive as possible for you.

No, you don’t have to be vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, and/or an athlete to work with me! I am able to help with a variety of concerns, goals, and lifestyles. And I’ll never pressure you to go plant-based in session! I’m all about meeting clients where ever they are!

While telehealth has increased the ease of receiving care across the United States and I am a nationally certified Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), the rules and regulations for dietitians and licensure vary by state. I am currently able to work with clients in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Virginia. If you live in a state not on this list, feel free to still reach out as the regulations vary by state and they may change, or I will do my best to give you a referral.

I am in network with many BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) and United Healthcare (UHC) plans. In-network coverage depends on your insurance plan and state. I will bill your insurance for you, however, you are responsible to know and understand your benefits. If you do not have BCBS or UHC, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement upon request. You may also be able to use your HSA card, but always confirm with them that this is a covered service.

For self-pay clients, initial one-on-one sessions are $250 and follow-up sessions are $150. I can also make custom package of sessions made just for you as a self-pay client upon request. Unlimited in-app messaging and food/mood/exercise review log review and messaging support between sessions is also included.

You can pay directly with a debit, credit, or HSA card through Practice Better. Again, it is your responsibility to confirm with your HSA if nutrition services are covered. Payment is due at booking. Payment plans are available for packages and on a case-by-case basis.

Current clients have the ability to receive customized meal plans as an optional add on. Non-clients (people who are not working with me one-on-one) can purchase customized meal plans by contacting me.

I also offer a variety of other services from run coaching to speaking engagements to brand partnerships to freelance writing. Contact me to start a conversation or learn more.
