Hear From Happy Patients

“Working with Amanda changed how I feel in my body EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I started seeing her before I got pregnant with baby #3. I really wanted to feel at home in my body again, deeply connected to myself, and prepared for another pregnancy. The first thing that told me my experience with Amanda was going to be different was how she listened to me during our intake appointment. I had been experiencing a chronic issue that countless doctors had dismissed over the course of almost 15 years, and when I described my symptoms and what I thought was going on, she actually believed me. Being truly listened to about your own body feels like a rarity in women's health these days.

Each session with Amanda has been incredible, going beyond what you typically think of with pelvic pt and into breathwork, core work, nervous system regulation, lymphatic drainage, skin rolling, fascial release, everything. I was going every few weeks early on in my third pregnancy, and then I started going every two, and by the time I was into my third trimester, I went every week. It was hands-down the absolute best investment in my physical and mental well-being. My first birth had been deeply traumatic, and my second was a C section, so I was focused on preparing very intentionally for this VBAC. While I do think that the physical work I did with Amanda played a large part in my amazing third birth experience, I actually think it was the mental work we did during sessions. She beautifully held space for me to learn to trust myself, feel in tune with my body, lean into what I needed, and really really listen to my gut. Working with her has truly been life-changing!” -KG
