About Amy Kiser, MBA, FNTP, BCHN

PictureAmy Kiser

Amy is a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist and earned her Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner certification through the Nutritional Therapy Association.  Amy is a member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals and the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA).   

​As a Partner at a major New York City advertising agency working on Fortune 100 brands in her 20s and 30s,  Amy had a fast-paced lifestyle involving long work hours and poor eating habits. This plus earning her MBA part-time while working took its toll on her health. Continued stress over the years led to digestive and hormonal issues as well as a diagnosis of two autoimmune diseases. After numerous trips to several doctors didn't improve her condition, Amy took matters into her own hands and conducted extensive research to discover and adopt dietary changes and other natural therapies that significantly reduced her symptoms. In addition, she was also able to apply what she learned to improve her daughter's celiac disease symptoms and related issues, all which led to a happier child and improved family dynamic. This success with natural therapies inspired her to seek out a science-based nutrition program so that she could help women and children make sustainable improvements to their health. 

With an undergraduate degree in psychology and recent work for non-profit organizations, Amy has always been passionate about helping others and is thrilled to  empower others to lead  happier, healthier lives through nutritional therapy. She lives with her husband and two children. She enjoys cooking, travel, yoga, Pilates, indoor cycling, and spending time with friends and family.

What Clients Say About Amy

"I am so grateful to Amy for helping me finally solve some of the digestive problems that have affected me for years. I am feeling much healthier from the dietary changes she recommended. Her pleasant and comforting demeanor was matched with exceptional knowledge and professionalism. She was so attentive in her assessment of my issues and thorough in developing a completely personalized nutrition plan for me that it is hard to believe I worked with her for just a few months. A truly life-changing experience!" -Grace, CT

"I highly recommend Amy!  I have been working with her for almost a year.  My initial goal was to better understand my diet and make better choices.  While I was not focused on losing weight, I ended up doing so.  More importantly, I feel so much better and my hypothyroid condition is now managed through my diet as opposed to medication."  - Sharon, CT

"Amy is so knowledgeable about nutritional health and helped me tremendously to identify the cause of my symptoms and determine the best ways to alleviate them. She is such a pleasure to work with and is a guiding force for my renewed health." -Sheila, New York City

"If you’re female and in your 40s and can’t figure out why you’re always tired and can’t shed those extra pounds – Amy is the person for you! Amy helped me understand why I was always exhausted even though I was eating healthy and exercising. She taught me about the vitamins and nutrients my body was craving to get back to where I feel my best. And to top it all off… I lost 10lbs and have never felt better!"  -Shannon , CT

"Amy is incredibly knowledgeable about how to incorporate nutritional changes into everyday life in a way that is manageable. My daughter knew that gluten and dairy upset her stomach, yet she didn't want to stop eating them. Amy provided strategies to use with our family so that making changes to my daughter's diet wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be."  - Rosemary, CT
