A little more about Amanda:
Amanda is a dedicated healer who brings a wealth of personal experience and professional knowledge to her work, guiding others through their own journeys of recovery and wellness. Having battled an array of chronic conditions from childhood into early adulthood—including allergies, asthma, eczema, anxiety, self-sabotage, low self-esteem, codependency, and substance abuse—Amanda's profound transformation began following a spiritually awakening encounter with mold illness, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, full-body eczema, and topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). This challenging period catalyzed her holistic approach to healing, emphasizing the crucial roles of emotional, spiritual, and energetic wellness alongside physical health.

Amanda advocates a tripartite model of wellness, encompassing:

Energetics: Focus on nervous system regulation and the principles of quantum physics.
Physical Health: Promotion of bodily health and the use of somatic techniques.
Mental and Spiritual Well-being: Commitment to profound inner work.

Amanda places a strong emphasis on psychoneuroimmunology, trauma-informed care, quantum physics, belief systems, and the interplay between the nervous and immune systems, all of which significantly influence overall health. Her advanced training in blood chemistry and various lab interpretations further equip her to guide individuals toward achieving balance and wellness in all facets of their lives.
