Happy Valley Nutrition, PC in Amherst

I see Morgan M with happy valley and I honestly could not be more thankful for her and everything she has done for me. She is consistently going above and beyond for me, as I assume she does with all her clients. Amanda, the one who runs the practice, is absolutely amazing as well and is just so accommodating. Through all my struggles, I have received nothing but phenomenal support and care from this practice. If you’re looking for a nutritionist, I don’t think there’s a better person to see and I feel so lucky to have been connected with Happy Valley

I have had an incredible experience working with Cara at Happy Valley Nutrition. Her compassionate listening, insightful comments, and unwavering patience and support as I have been on my health journey has been so meaningful to me. I would recommend Happy Valley Nutrition to everyone I know!

Happy Valley Nutrition is the most affirming, fat inclusive, non-shaming provider I have ever worked with. Amanda has changed my relationship with food and movement and helped me recognize that I am more than my body, I am more than the food I eat, and that there is no morality attached to chocolate

Cara, Amanda & their team are amazing, supportive, and full of knowledge. Their HAES and anti-diet approach to nutrition is perfect if you are on the journey to break up with diet culture and learn more about intuitive eating.

As a health care provider who digs deep into people's histories, I know that many people suffering with health conditions have struggled with disordered eating patterns on and off throughout their lives. Amanda and her team facilitate their clients' journeys to develop healthy relationships with their bodies and the food that nourishes them--imperative steps on the path to a healthy and fulfilling life! I recommend Happy Valley Nutrition without hesitation!!

When I first learned of Happy Valley Nutrition, it was a breath of fresh air! I had just begun learning about Intuitive Eating (IE) and Health At Every Size (HAES) online and was delighted to find a local practice that was aligned with those models and principles. As someone who has struggled with body image and dieting my whole life, I was enthusiastic but slightly skeptical at the start. After all, I had been conditioned by generations of family members (and society) to believe that my worth was dependent on my body size and shape. After my first one-on-one meeting with Amanda, I could feel those long-played tapes in my head begin to unwind. My weekly sessions with her have taught me how to apply IE/HAES principles to my life as well as how to repair my relationship with mind, body, and food. I love that Amanda addresses these issues from all angles without any focus on weight loss. I have found new joy in meals, celebrations, and holidays as a result. The cherry on top is Happy Valley Nutrition’s Anti-Diet Society offering. Blending education, connection, and support, Amanda and Cara have treated a truly unique and wonderful community unlike any other I have ever experienced. Sharing a safe, loved, and nurtured space with like-minded individuals has allowed me to build my confidence and create friendships as we all watch each other blossom. The opportunity to share resources and lived experiences with this group (both online and in person) is priceless. I recommend both Happy Valley Nutrition and the Anti-Diet Society to everyone I meet.

Working with Amanda is helping me take charge of my health. She gives me the accountability I need to move forward while also helping me uncover some of the patterns that have kept me stuck for so long. Her approach is warm and caring with just a touch of non-nonsense, down to brass tacks attitude. It’s like having a beloved aunt or best friend be your cheerleader and coach all at once. I highly recommend her!

I've struggled with weight all my life, I've had 3 weight loss surgeries, all of which haven't been successful in the long term. I'm a DIETITIAN even. Amanda has inspired me to let go of all the negative perceptions about my body that have been told to me from a very early age (4). I had believed what everyone said about me and I eventually began to criticize myself. even when I looked around, all I could see and think about was body size. Amanda's given me the freedom to let go of all that, embrace myself, and now I'm on the journey to discover what makes me happy including my body size. I highly recommend talking with Amanda. I'm glad I did. also, I get her emails which help me to stay focused on my journey.
