HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Life-changing has become such a cliche term, but I have to use it in regards to my work with Amanda.
I went in skeptical but desperate and a few months later have begun to radically transform my behaviors and beliefs around food, weight and health.
I cannot recommend this process highly enough.
The emotional freedom is tremendous, and Amanda is so knowledgeable and understanding. It’s hard work, but Amanda makes it a journey of curiosity.”

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM AMANDA MITTMAN,
Registered Dietitian and founder of Happy Valley Nutrition
WE TAKE INSURANCE
Coverage depends on individual plans and benefits.
Did you know that you can use your insurance to cover visits with a Registered Dietitian, often with no copay?
Contact us to learn how and for any specific questions for using insurance to cover visits.
We do not accept MassHealth or Tufts Public/Direct plans as they do not credential private practice dietitians. We offer out of pocket rates for these clients.
While we do accept Medicare plans for nutrition counseling, only Diabetes (not “prediabetes”) and kidney disease are covered.

HOW IT WORKS
Step 1
LET’S TALK
The first step can feel like the hardest and we totally get that.
We’ll begin with a free clarity call where you get a chance to tell us all about you! We’ll discuss your health goals, and what type of support will best suit you.
Don’t want the call? No problem- we can just book an initial appointment!
Step 2
LET’S WORK
During your first session, we’ll explore your personal history and how we can best achieve your health goals together.
During the session we’ll create a plan that best suits you and discuss the ideal ways we can support you until our next appointment.
Step 3
LET’S GO
Feeling good in your body doesn’t happen overnight — it takes time.
Creating a bold, healthy life on your terms is a life-long journey that is equal parts amazing, inspiring, and honestly…sometimes downright terrifying.
It takes bravery, dedication and sometimes a little audacity to get where you want to go.
Nutrition counseling services can be done in-person (Amherst office) or via Telehealth.
