Amanda has been a true gift to my healing journey! I’ve struggled with a number of health issues including chronic nerve pain and gut dysbiosis; and where other health coaches have jumped straight to prescribing supplements and drastic diet changes, Amanda took the time to build trust with me and truly listen to the emotional layers of my experience before making any recommendations. She held my fears, shame, and grief with skilled & gentle attunement, and invited a sense of safety and playfulness into our coaching container that is delightful and rare. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone who is looking for a truly supportive thought partner in your life’s path, wherever it takes you!
Stephanie Parker, Somatic Coach and NIA instructor
I found Amanda when I was finished with cancer treatments but still dealing with lingering effects of the chemo/radio, and chronic stress. I was having migraines every other week, trouble sleeping and constant tummy issues. She helped me understand how to listen to my body, how to feed myself, and most importantly, how to make caring for myself a priority. My daughter struggles with IBS and Amanda helped me find ways to support my daughter and make meals that suit us both - not easy with a picky teenager but she now eats more veggies and drinks more water and we're both so grateful for Amanda's help. Give her a call, you will be so grateful you did!

Getting the coaching sessions was just what I needed!. Having someone help me who has walked through the path of profound lifestyle change not only saved my sanity and health but improved my quality of life and enhanced my personal and professional development."

You deserve to feel good.
There is a gap between illness and wellness, and that’s where a lot of us fall.
We need multifaceted solutions that take our whole-selves into account, and listen to our bodies when they give us feedback in the form of symptoms. together, in the container of functional wellness coaching, we'll connect the dots between your symptoms and their origin and unlock your body's innate healing potential.
Wellness that works . . .
Well-being isn't found in dogma, deprivation, or by chasing expensive fads. We bring ourselves back into balance - not by adding more peptides, pills, and rules - but by working with what is already here and stripping away what isn't needed.
What if your symptoms aren't a problem, but a portal?
What if your health struggles are the means to reimagine a new relationship to food, work, rest, and your body?
Meet Amanda
I’m a health and well-being coach based in the abundant Bay Area.
I help women heal their gut, navigate chronic illness, and reclaim their vitality after disease or depletion. I’m a board-certified Functional Nutritionist with credentials in neuroscience-based resonance methods and conflict transformation.
Chronic health issues as a child gave me an understanding of our bodies' power to heal itself and an appreciation for simple, nature-derived solutions.
As a midlife queer in the Lebanese diaspora, my approach is trauma-aware, deeply witchy, a little weird, and wholly wonder-filled. Free time finds me in the kitchen making nourishing, indulgent meals for loved ones, wine tasting, or hiking through the redwoods near my home.
If you’re ready for a journey that bridges science and soul - let’s talk.”
