Practicing acupuncture and herbal medicine for over 20 years has given me the opportunity to address a wide range of conditions from the common cold to immune related disorders. As well, I can see that in most cases nutrition and lifestyle have a significant impact on the number of treatments necessary to correct the issue. I welcome patients that are open to making changes in these areas that will assist their care and lead them toward a state of health and wellness.

Welcome! I’m Amanda (she/her), one of the registered dietitians at Redefined Nutrition. I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD/Autism navigate the challenges they face with eating and nourishing their bodies, as it can often feel like one more thing to juggle. Distractions, sensory sensitivities, and inconsistent eating habits make things like meal planning and staying on track feel like a constant struggle. As a neurodivergent dietitian, I understand these challenges firsthand. Managing nutrition isn’t just about food—it’s about understanding how your unique brain works and finding ways to make eating less overwhelming.

My ideal client is someone struggling with chronic pain, stress, fatigue, or digestive issues—frustrated with conventional treatments that don’t offer lasting relief. They need a natural, effective approach that addresses the root cause, not just symptoms. Their goal is to feel better, move freely, and reclaim their energy. They want acupuncture because they’re seeking balance, holistic healing, and long-term wellness. They come to The Point because they want expert care that integrates both Eastern and Western medicine for real, sustainable results.
