About Amanda
Hi, I'm Amanda.
I'm a mom, a family nutrition consultant, and the founder of The Balanced Child. I earned my B.S. in Family & Consumer Sciences, Nutrition & Food from California State University, Sacramento.

I created The Balanced Child because feeding kids can become surprisingly complicated. Between nutrition advice, picky eating, busy schedules, school lunches, grocery decisions, and the pressure to somehow get it all right, even everyday choices can start to feel overwhelming.
I believe families deserve support that makes feeding feel simpler, not more complicated.
My approach combines my education in nutrition and food with a practical understanding of family life. I help parents sort through the noise, identify what matters most for their child, and make realistic changes without expecting perfection.
