More about Amanda Dotts, RDN
Founder of Nesting Nutrition
Hi! I’m Amanda Dotts - a registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in prenatal nutrition. Northern Idaho is my home, but I provide virtual services nationwide with nutrition guidance through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I help pregnant women by creating holistic, science-backed nutrition plans specific to YOU.
​
​I’ve been a registered dietitian since 2013, but my passion for prenatal nutrition began with my own journey to motherhood in 2021 after realizing the lack of nutrition education given to mothers during this crucial time period. That experience inspired me to create Nesting Nutrition - a virtual private practice dedicated to giving pregnant women the clarity, compassion, and expert nutrition support they deserve.
I combine my professional training, lived experience, and a whole-body approach to help you feel more energized, confident, and deeply supported during one of the most important (and demanding) seasons of your life.
How my approach to prenatal nutrition is different
I go beyond the basics
I don’t give you outdated, cookie-cutter nutrition advice - I look at your labs, symptoms, food preferences, digestion, lifestyle, and goals to uncover root issues and create realistic, compassionate and personalized nutrition plans that truly work for YOU.
I meet you with compassion
Pregnancy is hard enough as it is! My approach is to meet you where you are. No guilt. No judgement. Just gentle, holistic nutrition support for moms from someone who truly listens.
I make it simple
You don’t need a complicated diet that takes a ton of time to prep. You need a sustainable plan that works with your life.
And here's the best part
Sessions are often FULLY covered by insurance, with NO REFERRAL needed! (Find out how here.) This means that you can focus on your health - without any surprise bills. And if you’re not using insurance, I also offer flexible private pay packages to fit your needs.
I had more energy and felt more comfortable compared to my first pregnancy
I connected with Amanda toward the end of the second trimester of my second pregnancy with the goal of optimizing nutrition and hopefully getting rid of heartburn (which was brutal at the end of my first pregnancy and developed earlier in my second pregnancy). The education provided throughout our sessions was really helpful to me in not only addressing unpleasant symptoms (heartburn) but also optimizing nutrition.
Through the end of my pregnancy, I had more energy and felt more comfortable compared to my first pregnancy — which says a lot considering I was also chasing a toddler this time around. I really liked knowing the "why" behind recommended supplements and foods as it helped me to commit to small healthy changes to support both me and baby both prenatal and postpartum. I wholeheartedly recommend Nesting Nutrition to all pregnant moms.
