We can solve these problems together...
You're struggling with recurring mental, emotional, and physical symptoms and/or a chronic illness and seeking an alternative path to healing.
​
You've tried conventional therapies and medication, but nothing has helped.
You're in an ongoing battle with your symptoms, wondering if
this is how you'll always be.
​
You feel like the methods you've tried are superficial band-aids masking a deeper, root cause.
​
You believe there's a link between your psycho-emotional state and your physical symptoms, but you're not sure what to do about it.
​
You're ready to heal your psyche and body and start a new chapter of life in which your symptoms do not define you.
​
​
Your symptoms are a language.
Work with a clinical mind-body therapist
with a track record
of helping people heal at the root cause
& rebirth their lives.
"I'm 40 years old now and have been in and out of traditional therapy since I was 12. In 28 years, it just hadn't helped - although I desperately wanted to heal.​
After working with Amanda, I'm no longer debilitated by symptoms, and I can feel a reality where stress and trauma don't rule my life. It's like I was living in a dark forest of perpetual night and the sun is just rising for the first time."​

The science behind my approach
Psycho-neuro Immunology
The scientifically known link between mind & body
In the 1990s, the mainstream scientific community began to acknowledge the link between the mind and body through a field of research known as psycho-neuro immunology.
​
This research guides our approach here at Rooted Rebirth, resulting in our history of enabling clients to NATURALLY heal the root cause of their symptoms.​
​
I do not and cannot diagnose or treat illness. Instead, I look at chronic mental, emotional, and physical symptoms as messengers communicating an unresolved psychologic conflict living within the subconscious and unconscious parts of self.
I help clients identify and work through these core conflicts which results in the reduction, and in many cases, the eradication of chronic illness, recurring symptoms, and trauma and stress disorders that conventional methods were ineffective at treating.
Hi, I'm Amanda
I'm a Clinical Mind-Body Therapist, Stress and Trauma Specialist, and Cross-cultural Educator. While working in Chicago's health care sector, I observed the link between mental and physical health. I helped dialysis clinics improve patient outcomes by implementing mind-body education and depression management services. I was later discouraged by industry norms that prioritized profit over impact. I left in 2013 to volunteer in the Peace Corps in South Africa. ​
That's when I met David Patient, one of the first people to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Doctors told him he had 6 months to live, and there were no effective drug therapies at the time. But David pioneered his own holistic treatment plans and lived another 34 years. He co-authored the book, The Healer Inside You, and was my mentor from 2013-2017 until he passed away from other causes. While in South Africa, I trained with David and Neil Orr, a psycho-neuro immunologist, who were consultants to NIH and the United Nations.
Afterwards, I moved to Colorado to mentor with a body-centered psychotherapist and studied with the world's leading experts on trauma in Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's Traumatic Stress Studies Certificate program.
​
Personally, I've endured and transcended my own suffering, healing naturally from adult onset asthma, IBS, adverse childhood events, and complex trauma. That journey brought me into an embodied understanding of the scientifically known link between mind & body. Because I know disorder and dis-ease intimately, and because I've experienced the miracle of natural healing, I have a unique passion for helping people finally breakthrough when nothing else seemed to work.​​
I do not have the ability to diagnose or treat illness as I am not a licensed medical professional. I am a clinical mind-body therapist who supports people in working through the psychologic roots to chronic illness and recurring symptoms. My unconventional approach has resulted in breakthroughs for people who were previously discouraged by decades of unsuccessful conventional approaches.
