Hello i’m Amanda;
For years, I struggled in silence with chronic health issues—mystery symptoms that left me exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like a stranger in my own body. I battled hormonal imbalances, gut dysfunction, chronic fatigue, infertility, Lyme Disease, mental health issues, histamine intolerance, and the debilitating effects of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Alongside the physical challenges, I also faced the weight of mental health struggles and the impact of past trauma, all of which compounded my journey to healing.
Doctors told me it was just anxiety. That my labs looked “normal.” That I would have to “just live with it.” But deep down, I knew there had to be another way. I refused to accept that feeling unwell was my forever, especially at such a young age.
Through years of research, trial and error, and a relentless pursuit of true healing, I discovered the power of root-cause healing, holistic nourishment, and nervous system support. I learned how to work with my body instead of fighting against it. And most importantly, I discovered how to reclaim my health, energy, and vitality in a way that felt truly sustainable.
Now, my mission is to help other women do the same.
As a Functional Health Practitioner, I take a root-cause approach to wellness, focusing on the body as an interconnected system rather than just treating isolated symptoms. My method combines functional lab testing, personalized nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and nervous system regulation to uncover and address the underlying imbalances contributing to your health challenges. Healing is not just about diet or supplements—it’s about understanding your unique body, supporting its innate healing abilities, and creating a plan that works for your life.
I believe that you are not broken. That you don’t have to “just deal with it.” That true healing is possible when you are given the right tools, knowledge, and support.
Together, we will take back your health—so you can wake up feeling vibrant, strong, and in control of your body again. I want you to feel empowered, educated, and excited about your healing journey, knowing that you have a practitioner who truly understands what you’re going through.
If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of chronic illness, let’s take the first step together.
Are you ready to feel your best again? Let’s start your journey today.

my health journey
YEAR BY YEAR
2016
THE YEAR I BEGAN NOTICING MY HEALTH WAS DECLINING
After moving away from everything I had ever known with my at the time boyfriend (now husband) things began really working their way to the surface with past traumas, the sense of feeling unsafe in a new place (Texas) and dealing with a laundry list of symptoms that were not seeming to go away. I was going to multiple Doctors to try to get answers on why I had excruciating pain during my periods, around my ovaries, was unable to lose weight regardless of how much I worked out and “dieted”, had zero energy, couldn’t sleep, had painful bloating and constipation which made eating anything stressful. Their solution was always birth control, which I never did well with. It took the next year at the right time (catching a cyst on my ovary) to finally get a diagnosis of PCOS – with zero real supports on how to manage it.
2018
THE YEAR I THOUGHT MY HEALTH WAS AT ITS BEST
Wedding prep meant going hard in the gym which I had been doing the past two years since getting engaged. Although I was at my “fittest” place since I was in highschool, I was still struggling with symptoms I was bandaiding these with birth control and spironolactone, unaware what was brewing beneath the surface. These symptoms only became 10x worse when I decided to get off birth control and spironolactone after our wedding end of 2018. My mental health began to quickly decline not realizing we were living in toxic mold.
2020
THE YEAR THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
End of 2019 was a traumatic loss in my life that shifted everything for me. My husband and I both decided it was time to leave our extremely stressful job traveling as my mental, physical and emotional health were at their absolute lowest. Then lockdown began not long after and as you know life was pretty crazy this entire year on top of me trying to navigate a loss that I felt extreme guilt for. It felt like my world had completely stopped and I had to make the decision to either push through and ask for help in a different approach or worse. I searched for a holistic practitioner and was able to begin doing the DEEP work of Root Cause which was ultametly what led me to my life completely changing for the better and becoming a practitioner myself!
2021
THE YEAR I CHASED MY DREAMS
After having life changing results in this side of health and finally getting to a place where I could handle more than the bare minimum (because of my health) I took the leap and enrolled in the Nutritional Therapy Association to begin my career in holistic health and nutrition! As someone who always struggled with learning and enjoying learning- this just came so naturally to me and I KNEW this was my purpose! I was consistently working on my own health, digging deeper each and every day for supports and diving into my course.
2022
THE YEAR I OPENED MY PRACTICE
After graduated the NTA in May of ’22, I took the leap of opening my own virtual practice to serve clients on their journey! It has been an exciting journey to be a part of my clients lives and every day I feel honored that they trusted me to support them. I have continued to add additional certifications since (Master Blood Chemistry, Integrative Health Practitioner) and will continue to do so to give my clients the all around support they need!
