Meet Amy

Hi, so glad you found us!

I’ll be honest — when I first became a dietitian, pelvic health was not on my radar. My world was chronic disease management, metabolic health, digestive issues, and medical nutrition therapy, and helping people understand why their body was doing what it was doing. I loved that work and I still do.

But over time, something kept coming up. The women I was sitting across from weren’t just dealing with blood sugar or digestion in isolation. They were dealing with urgency, constipation, bloating, discomfort — and nobody had ever connected those symptoms to what they were eating, how they were hydrating, or what was happening in their pelvic floor. They were getting pieces of the puzzle from different places, but nobody was helping them put it together.

When Christian reached out to me about joining Pelvic Pathways, it immediately made sense. She had been seeing the same thing from her side – women coming in with pelvic floor symptoms that nutrition was directly influencing, and no one was addressing it. She knew a dietitian needed to be part of the conversation, and I knew this was exactly the work I wanted to be doing.

My approach has always been rooted in the belief that information alone doesn’t create change. Understanding does. When you know why your body is responding the way it is, and why a certain habit or food or pattern matters, you stop white-knuckling your way through a plan and start living it.

That’s what I bring to Pelvic Pathways: nutrition and behavior change that connects to your real life, your symptoms, and your goals. Not rigid. Not one-size-fits-all. Just clear, compassionate support that makes sense for your whole body.

So happy to be on this journey with you.
