From Beauty to Books: Get to Know Amanda!
Do you ever feel like you don’t really know that much about your practitioner? I’ve certainly felt that way before. When I created GOODBODY, I wanted to not only create a practice focused on YOU, but also a community. So today, I’m sharing a few facts about myself so we can get to know each other!
1. Favorite beach in the whole wide world: Siesta Key! Located in my hometown of Sarasota, FL.
2. I spent a month in China studying Acupuncture and Herbal medicine at Cheng Du University and Hospital. While there I visited the pandas, climbed The Great Wall, and attempted to eat THE SPICIEST Sichuan hot pot. Regretted that the next day!
3. Favorite form of exercise is hot yoga, I’m a regular at Blackswan Yoga in Austin, TX.
4. Favorite local coffee shop: Cosmic Coffee
5. Go to dish I cook to impress others: Asian Glazed Salmon served over black rice with veggies… delicious! (maybe a link to that recipe on the blog here)
6. Some of my favorite health related books that I think everyone should read:
-
- Woman Code by Alisa Vitti
- The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer
- Medical Medium Liver Rescue by Anthony Williams
7. I’m a dog lover! I adopted a miniature Poodle eight years ago. Murray has been my best pal ever since 🙂 He likes getting coffee with me at Cosmic.
8. The best habit I’ve started in 2019 is beginning my day by setting intentions, finding gratitude, and reviewing a list of future goals. I verbalize these out loud in order to make them more powerful.
9. I love all things glam! I look forward to my morning skincare and beauty rituals. I’m always on the hunt for new organic products.

10. My favorite part about being an acupuncturist is that I get to be a part of someone’s healing journey. Each patient is special and we have to work together to find the right solution to their health concerns and needs. When I get to see positive change happening in their health, stress levels, and mood it brings me so much joy.
Beautiful website. I am very interested in what you provide. Looking forward to finding out more. Very professional.
This was my first time experieriencing accupuncture and cupping. I have severe lower back pain and I’ve tried everything to remedy the issue. Goodbody Wellness has a great location and ample parking. Amanda is patient and professional. She relaxed me before and during the treatments, and explained everything as she worked. She helped me reposition myself over and over when my nerve pain would not cooperate for me. Her tenacity and patience provided me with a resting position which resulted in effective therapy. I highly recommend Amanda for any of your body’s needs. Goodbody Wellness is my new favorite place. My lower back is incredibly grateful.
