Thriving In The Postpartum Season
In this episode, I’m going through some of the most helpful areas to focus on for an enjoyable postpartum season with your new baby.

Amaia's Birth Story
In this episode, I am sharing my second daughter, Amaia’s birth story. I will also be answering questions this community submitted on IG! This is my birth experience and I will say, I had a beautiful birth at home, it could not have gone better. My first birth was very painful, I thought about giving up multiple times, and had a lot of fear in the beginning. I held a lot of resentment for a while about the pain I went through but I’ve come to change my tune and be grateful for that birth. Kat...
Customer Reviews
A wealth of knowledge
Amanda’s depth of knowledge comes through in every episode. Her personal experience, clinical experience, love of research, and passion for women’s health are what immediately drew me in. But what I believe truly sets her apart is her balanced view of meeting yourself where your at, letting go of the obsession over healing, and becoming curious about what your body is telling you.
I’m also loving the Master your Minerals course. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you!
I just found this podcast, and I’m feeling so hopeful about getting really healthy. You take random things I already knew and put them all together to make sense.
I learned how to support my body
I was on my last and 3rd pregnancy and struggling with low thyroid issues and this podcast was so revealing and helped me so much! My prior babies were both born on 37 weeks; I think stress and lack of knowledge of how to support my body had create that environment. After listening to a good amount of episodes and trying to implement some changes I not only did not have to worry about my thyroid but my baby was born full term, on her due date. 2 years later my very irregular periods have become very regular basically always starting on the same day of the month, I don’t have pain while on it and I just feel like a have so much more energy. I am still learning but I am so grateful for this podcast and all the info and health she has brought me. I keep sharing with friends and family (in Brazil) because I think this info here is gold and we don’t see much of it around. Thank you!
