My Story
Hi, I’m Amanda—and my healing journey started in a really uncomfortable place.
In my mid-twenties, I began experiencing spontaneous, explosive diarrhea. It was embarrassing, unpredictable, and completely disruptive—to my work, my social life, even time with my family. I went to my doctor, who couldn’t give me any clear answers but suggested I start tracking my food.
So I did. For 18 months.
Eventually, I discovered the culprit: fried foods—specifically, foods cooked in soy oil, which was just starting to be used more widely in restaurants. That discovery changed everything.
I had essentially created my own elimination diet—long before Whole30 or gut protocols were mainstream. And while my digestion improved, something else started to shift. I noticed my anxiety lessening, my sleep improving, and for the first time in years, I had real, clean energy.
That’s when I got curious. I began confronting my sugar addiction, stabilizing my moods, and healing my body in a way that rippled into every area of my life.
It was the first time I truly understood: food is not just fuel—it’s information. It can hurt us, or it can heal us. And that’s the belief at the core of everything I now teach.

For the last few years I have been dealing with perimenopause symptoms, shifting hormones, blood sugar imbalances, extreme anxiety, constant low energy and just plain not feeling like myself anymore. I was at a really low point and didn’t want to feel like this anymore. I wanted a more natural approach and was looking into functional medicine when a friend recommended Amanda to me. Amanda was such a blessing to me! I love that she takes a full body approach and sees you as a whole person and not just your symptoms. She took the time to really listen and made me feel validated. Her approach is all in and definitely takes commitment but it is worth the time and effort to give your body enough time to reset, reduce inflammation and to really establish new lifelong healthy habits. I went all in, it was definitely challenging at times, especially in the beginning, but Amanda is so encouraging and always answered any questions I had. She works with you to set you up for success. I would highly recommend working with Amanda if you are ready to put in the work and are looking for a more natural approach to feeling like yourself again especially during perimenopause.

My initial sessions with Amanda focused on my current physical health while navigating perimenopause. Throughout my experience, she's taught me how many other areas influence my health. While I first sought out solutions for physical issues, she has helped me with navigating root causes within my emotional needs and seeing the ripple effects throughout my life. I've gained knowledge on how better to listen to myself and my body and continue to develop fundamental habits that direct me towards a more wholesome lifestyle. I highly recommend Amanda and her all encompassing guidance for anyone that is struggling to meet personal goals or to gain a greater fulfillment out of life. With her patience, knowledge, and encouragement, I have discovered a clarity that I've been missing for years.

When I started with Amanda I was in a very discouraged place in my body. I was overweight and felt like my body was constantly pushing out of my skin. I was uncomfortable and unable to fully live in the life I had with my family. I was discouraged because I had tried several options but nothing seemed to work for my body and I felt so alone. I was living in a state of escapism just trying to get through each day. But I yearned for a full life. As I began my time with Amanda I was excited but cautious. As I spent more time with her, I was reassured by her knowledge and resources as well as her attention to the whole of me, not just my weight. She walked with me and helped me with every struggle. I still had to make the day to day, moment by moment choices but her accountability is what made all the difference for me. I would completely recommend her for anyone who desires to more fully live out who they were designed to be. She helped me be ME and I am so thankful!
