Helping families build a foundation of health through real food, practical nutrition, and everyday learning.
I'm a Registered Dietitian, Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, and homeschool mom who believes true health starts at the root.

Hi, I'm Amy.
A dietitian's knowledge.
A homeschool mom's heart.
Growing Up Nourished began with a simple desire: I wanted my own children to understand the why behind the choices we make every day.
I wanted them to understand how real, whole foods nourish their bodies, why the quality of the food we choose matters, and how God designed our bodies with incredible intention. I also wanted them to see that food is about so much more than nutrients. It connects us to the land, to culture, to family, and to the way people around the world live, gather, celebrate, and care for one another.
As a Registered Dietitian and homeschool mom, I kept looking for resources that brought together real food, nutrition, faith, culture, and hands-on learning in a way that was beautiful, practical, and actually enjoyable to use.
Eventually, I realized I needed to create them. That is the heart of Growing Up Nourished.
It started at our own kitchen table.

The perspectives behind the resources
Building lifelong confidence around food
Understanding the why behind nourishment
Whole foods over food rules
I believe food should help children understand where nourishment comes from: the land, the farmer, the kitchen, the family table, and the traditions that connect us.
Food is more than nutrients.
real food first
Faith is woven through everything I create.
I believe God designed our bodies with purpose, created this beautiful world for us to steward, and calls us to care for ourselves and others with gratitude and intention. Read my statement of faith.
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31
I wanted resources I couldn't find.
Resources that connected real food, science, faith, and hands-on learning in a way that was beautiful and easy to use.
So I started creating them.

Everything I create is tested in real life, with real kids, in a real homeschool.
You'll find me homeschooling my boys, cooking real food, tending to my three fig trees, reading good books, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying the everyday moments that make up our life.
