Hey there! I’m Amanda, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist who believes nutrition should be realistic, not restrictive.
My journey into natural nutrition started when conventional treatments failed to help my migraines and digestive issues. I wanted real solutions, not quick fixes, so I dove into studying health—earning a degree in Kinesiology & Physical Education from Wilfrid Laurier University, a diploma in Natural Nutrition from The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (where I passed my board exam to become an RHN), and a certification in Perinatal Nutrition.
Life threw me some major curveballs—IVF, a high-risk pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and even heart failure thanks to a congenital heart defect. If anyone understands how tough health challenges can be, it’s me. That’s why I focus on meeting clients where they are, creating sustainable changes, and making food work for you, not against you.
I see clients virtually and in person at The Atrium in St. Thomas, Ontario. I also run group programs and corporate wellness talks—because good nutrition should be accessible and doable for everyone.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me in my garden (houseplants hate me), reading in a sunny spot, or chasing my toddler and dachshund. Oh, and I love both coffee and tea, prefer savory over sweet, and confirmed my fear of heights by skydiving—never again!
If you're ready for a balanced, no-stress approach to nutrition, let's chat!
Why Blue Spruce Wellness?
I believe that nutrition doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful—it’s all about what we can add to support your goals, not what you have to cut out. No guilt, no stress, just real-life strategies that actually work for you.
True health isn’t about chasing a number on the scale (because let’s be real, it doesn’t tell us much). It’s about waking up feeling well-rested, having steady energy through the day, and building a positive relationship with food. It’s about feeling good in your body, not fighting against it. That’s where I come in.
One of my favorite tools? A good old-fashioned food mood journal. It’s like a diary for your plate, helping us uncover what fuels you, what drains you, and how we can fine-tune your nutrition to help you feel your best. Think of it as a way to connect with your body, not a rigid set of rules.
My approach is all about meeting you where you are (because, let’s be real, no one is perfect—not even me!). Together, we’ll build a personalized roadmap focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and movement to help you feel your best. If the kitchen feels intimidating, don’t worry—I love to cook and will help you gain confidence with easy, delicious recipes that actually fit into your life (no more sad veggies rotting in the fridge).
My goal? To help you make sustainable changes, celebrate your wins, and feel empowered in your food choices. Let’s ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and find what works for you.

Discovery Call
Let’s get to know each other! During our first call, it’s all about getting comfortable and determining if my approach to wellness accommodates your lifestyle. We all have different needs, so let’s assess what Blue Spruce Wellness can offer you!
Initial Assessment
Let’s assess a strategy that’s right for you, without typical meal planning or diet culture! This is where we take the time to get to know your needs on a deeper level and understand your relationship with food and nutrition. This discussion will be relaxed and judgment-free every step of the way. Through this, I’ll determine which tools are best suited for your lifestyle while also providing you with recommendations. The best part is that it’s a two-way street, so I won’t just toss directions at you; it’s a friendly, collaborative back and forth!
Personalized Recipe Plan
Personalized recipe plans are what I like to call my flexible spin on a meal plan. We’ll go over your favourite techniques for prepping, food preferences and cooking capabilities. From there, it’s all about finalizing a plan catered to you and designed to bring joy back into the kitchen. The plan is designed to meet your nutritional and lifestyle needs, so you can explore new ways to prep and cook foods you love, while also fueling your body in the right ways and ensuring your body feels good.
We’ll keep things as fresh and flexible as possible so you can get the most out of the service! At any point, you can purchase an ongoing recipe revision so that we can reassess how things are going – specifically what recipes and ingredients are working well with your body, and also where we can improve!
Wellness Check In
Additional calls and conversations can be booked at any time, no matter which program or service you’re partaking in! Ask questions that are on your mind, gain additional feedback, or reassess your current path. Let’s book a wellness check-in and catch up.
