Hey, I’m amanda.
I’m a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Certified Holistic Chef (aka Oso Nourished), Makeup Artist, and Hairstylist based on Vancouver Island, in Nanaimo, B.C. — a multi-passionate human who can’t sit at a desk for too long and loves to help people feel their absolute best.
With over 15 years of makeup artistry and hairstyling under my belt, and over a decade as a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, I’m here to help bring out your natural glow and guide you in championing your own unique wellbeing journey.
I believe that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t belong in nutrition or makeup – there isn’t one magic cream, product, or pill that works for everyone. Embracing the philosophy that each person is unique, I approach my work as putting together pieces of a wellness puzzle.
My holistic nutrition education not only deepened my understanding of how the body functions as a whole but also inspired a creative approach to teaching people how to nourish their bodies in a way that works for them. As a Certified Holistic Chef, I'm thrilled to offer nourishing, healthy meal prep chef services and healthy meal prep coaching focused on high-quality, whole foods based eats for elevated energy and productivity.
An introvert at heart who loves people, outside of work you'll find me recharging in nature with my rescue sled dog, getting cozy with a book, staying active through a spin or yoga class, or plotting my next trip abroad.
