Bio:
Amie is the Head dietitian and owner of Target Nutrition.
Amie fell in love with learning how to adapt her nutrition to support exercise and performance. Amie personally competes in weightlifting and her peak interest is in helping athletes make weight for competition. However, she shows a great interest in CrossFit as she trained in this sport for many years and understands how nutrition plays a significant role in recovery and performance.
It is her greatest joy teaching her clients how to eat the right food at the right time in order to increase their quality of life, energy levels and performance. It is not just all about body composition changes. She wants the best for her clients, for them to feel like they can train to their highest capacity and feel that they have the energy to do so.
