Amanda's consultations are based on nutritional symptomology. She feels every body is unique and needs individual attention and assessment. Amanda also takes into account stress factors, current exercise levels, family history, medication usage, and previous lifestyle factors, in addition to daily eating habits. Working with the different body systems she helps to bring about balance in the body.  Amanda believes the body needs to be treated from a holistic point of view rather than a reductionistic view. With this in mind, she will teach you to use the healing power of good quality, natural, “alive” foods with specific lifestyle changes to attain a revitalized, healthy body.
