Amy Tuttle, R.D., L.C.S.W.

Amy Tuttle has been committed to preventing and resolving eating disorders and weight issues for over 25 years. As a registered dietitian and licensed clinical social worker with advanced training in mindfulness meditation practices, she believes that difficult relationships with food and weight can be restored through connections with others and collaborative care. Amy trusts that the women and men of all ages, as well as the children and families she works with, have the innate wisdom and resilience to mend themselves with the support and guidance of a skilled, collaborative team of professionals.

Partnering with experienced psychotherapy and health care professionals to assure this quality of care, Amy provides nutrition therapy, mindfulness-based no-diet groups and retreats, and eating disorder prevention programs.

Amy is dedicated to training and mentoring students and other professionals on eating disorder treatment, the no-diet approach, and mindfulness. She provides supervision, workshops, and retreats for psychotherapists, nutritionists, and other health care professionals. She regularly presents at eating disorder conferences, college counseling centers, and professional group meetings and has been interviewed about eating disorders and weight issues in various magazines and on television.

When she was the Director of Nutrition at the Philadelphia Renfrew Center, a nationally renowned treatment facility for eating disorders, Amy provided program development for various eating disorder recovery services, co-authored "Mealtime Support Therapy," part of the Renfrew Center's Healing Through Relationship series, and developed "The Renfrew Experience," a unique day of training for professionals that offered case discussion and experience with inpatient and outpatient group process, techniques, and tools.

A long-time advocate for the Health at Every Size movement, Amy has conducted no-diet programs for varied groups, including women at mid-life, children and their parents at the YMCA, and officers of the Philadelphia Police Department. At the popular no-diet website, Nourishing Connections, she and her web partner, Dr. Karin Kratina, offer no-diet teleclasses, webinars, and professional training, as well as articles, tools, and resources such as "Stay Attuned: The E-zine for Nourishing Connections."
