When's the last time you felt GREAT?

Something we hear – again and again – is that people come to us in pain, or tense, or unable to sit/walk/be comfortable for long stretches of time, but after spending a month or two of quality time with us, they aren’t living in the same discomfort.  They are living pain-free, or atleast in a lot less pain than they used to live in.  Or they are happier, less stressed, and feel more connected to other people.  Or maybe a combination of all of the above.

If you want to know how we judge the quality of our work – that is EXACTLY the standard that we hold ourselves to – we want you to be more comfortable, happier and more connected.  The world becomes a better place every time someone feels a little more free from pain, anger, loneliness or tension.  

So, are YOU ready to feel GREAT?

Amanda grew up on Better Days Farm outside of Greensboro, MD.  She completed a B.A. in Writing and Literature at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, where she also intensively studied Mahayana Buddhism.  She then earned a Master of Science in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University.

Amanda’s passions include literature and community service.  As a young mother of two children, she was fortunate to be able to bring these passions together in a fulfilling career in Youth Librarianship at a busy public library.  When her children were teenagers, she had the opportunity to begin her study of acupuncture at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) and is looking forward to a second career in Chinese Medicine.  She graduated with a Master of Acupuncture degree in May 2019 and completed the Doctor of Acupuncture program in 2020, including the completion of an internship at the Kaufman Cancer Center at Upper Chesapeake Hospital in Fall 2019.

Amanda brings her extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families to her practice.  She is excited to bring her lifelong focus on building community, ensuring equity of services, and supporting the health of the whole family to the field of integrative medicine.
