Amanda has been a dedicated practitioner of holistic medicine since 2016. She is an open-minded and welcoming individual who strives to listen deeply to the needs of every patient and provides a sense of trust and compassion. Her goal is to help you to achieve your optimal health and wellness and empower you to understand your body and discover the gentle power of the healing arts. Amanda has had many positive experiences treating a wide variety of conditions such as: digestive disorders, sleep difficulty, pain management, anxiety, stress reduction, allergies and many other pathologies. She has both a special interest and high success rate helping couples with fertility and conceiving naturally as well as increasing the success of IVF. As part of her clinical education in the three year program at The Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Amanda worked with women of all ages to help regulate their menstrual cycles, relieve pain and symptoms of PMS, balance moods and emotions, stabilize hormone levels and support the fertility process, as well as provide pregnancy support. “When I began my studies in Acupuncture, I had no idea what an immense impact this ancient traditional medicine had to offer the modern world of fertility and reproductive health. While I continue to study and learn, I can’t help but be excited and honoured to have a hand in the astounding results Chinese Medicine has brought to many of my patients in building their families and improving their overall health and well-being” Amanda is a professional member of the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia. She is an advocate of continuing education and is always looking to expand her knowledge through education and research. “As an Acupuncturist, I enjoy being able to bridge the gap between holistic and western medicine while providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to heal. I am always looking to integrate new treatments and therapies into my practice and believe that continued learning is important for any good Acupuncturist” Amanda is currently working on her 3 year Somatic Experience Practitioner designation and is excited to combine these two powerful tools in one highly effective treatment. Amanda is also trained in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Qi Beauty (facial rejuvenation with out needles). In addition to her strong commitment to health and wellness, Amanda enjoys connecting in nature with her family and keeping active through competitive sport - such as fast-pitch, ringette and golfing to name a few.
