There are several ways to enter my work.
Through art, I create paintings and objects that bring the feeling of nature into your life & into your space.
Through guidance, I help people find clarity within complicated health and life transitions.
Through intimate experiences, I create time and space to slow down, reconnect and experience something differently.

Guidance
Let's walk together.
If I could walk with you on the beach, I would.
Sometimes a health or life transition changes more than you expected. Having someone walk alongside you can make all the difference.
This might be a new diagnosis, a medication change, stepping away from something that no longer serves you, or a shift you can't quite put into words yet.
You may find yourself overwhelmed by information, decisions, opinions, and uncertainty — while also realizing that you have changed, and the life you are returning to may no longer feel quite the same.
What's needed now isn't more information — it's space to slow down, find your footing, and return to a life that feels grounded and truly your own.
I offer private, one-on-one guidance for people moving through significant health or life transitions.
My role is to help you step back, see the larger picture, understand the information in front of you, and find greater clarity around your next steps.
Orientation
Your first step toward clarity, support, and a way forward.
A focused session to create clarity around where you are now.
We begin by looking at the landscape as a whole — what has brought you here, what you are navigating, what feels uncertain, and what questions are asking for attention.
We may explore:
- Your current transition and what is changing
- Health and wellbeing as they relate to your broader life
- Patterns, relationships, environment, and daily rhythms
- What supports your vitality, connection, creativity, and sense of self
- Your authentic expression and the parts of yourself asking to be brought back into your life
- Potential practitioners, resources, or forms of support that may complement your path
From there, we identify priorities and create a framework for what to explore next. Additional resources or guidance will be provided following the session.
Personal Health & Integration
Our work is shaped around you — what you are experiencing, what is changing, and what you need during this particular time in your life.
There is space here for the practical and the personal, for questions and uncertainty, as well as the emotional, spiritual, and soulful dimensions of what you are moving through. We make room for the parts of life that don't always have a place in conventional healthcare — the need to feel safe, to be heard, to reconnect with yourself, and sometimes simply to breathe, laugh, create, or find a little lightness in the midst of something difficult.
Together, we may review and organize health information, explore areas of research, prepare for medical appointments or important decisions, gather resources specific to your circumstances, and connect you with other practitioners or professionals when additional support would be helpful.
The work is responsive to your life rather than a prescribed formula. Some days may call for clarity and practical direction; others may call for reflection, emotional support, play, rest, or simply more space to listen to what you already know.
At the heart of this work is restoration and coherence — creating the space to come back into relationship with yourself, your body, your life, and what matters to you. The intention is not to separate the different parts of your experience, but to help you see how they belong together and find a way forward that feels more grounded, connected, and your own.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. This is a space to be supported as you move through this time in your life — with guidance that can evolve alongside you.
Baja Sojourns
For those seeking a more immersive experience, private Baja sojourns are available by request.
These are individually designed experiences offering space for reflection, restoration, hands-on work, partnership with practitioners, and integration — within the landscape of Baja.
This is educational and integrative work, offered alongside your medical care rather than in place of it.
If this speaks to where you are, I'd love to hear from you.
BEGIN A CONVERSATIONABOUT AMANDA
I'm not the practitioner I am today because of what I know — it's from what I've experienced, and what I've been open to learn.
Decades of pharmacy, studying functional medicine, exploring root-based models of healing, and my own personal healing journeys have all helped me recognize the deeper layers of healing. Through it all, I've learned what it truly means to hold space for others on their journey — to guide you back to your true self and vitality.
My own path has led me here — navigating multiple spine injuries, life changes and loss at the same time, standing up for what I knew wasn't working and trusting what could, and the unexpected ways life can ask us to begin again. I am grateful for what it has taught me — that information is only one part of what we need. We also need safety, even if it's one person who sees us clearly, gives us a perspective of what's possible, a connection that gives us our courage, and space to integrate what has come up for us and how we want to navigate it.
Today, I bring these together to support you through significant transitions — with a focus on restoration, coherence, and finding a way forward that feels possible and completely aligned to you.
