Hi, I’m Amanda
My approach is trauma-aware, embodied, and rooted in the belief that the body is a space of sovereignty. This work makes room for slowness, pleasure, and rest.
I’m a midlife queer in the Lebanese diaspora, a total snack-hound, and an incurable horse girl. Find me riding horses in the hills, tasting wine across California, or testing delicious recipes for my clients.

Better health isn't found in dogma, deprivation, or expensive trends. 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 health struggles are the means to reimagine a new relationship to food, work, rest, and your body?
