Amanda acuna

I developed a passion for holistic health after my own experiences with autoimmune disease. Conventional medicine had me on harsh medications for life and my quality of life was still poor. I decided to try an alternative route and within a year, I experienced healing which I was told was not possible. Here I am, over a decade later, guiding people through their own health journeys and I can’t even count how many people I have witnessed HEAL, achieve long remission—or at a minimum, drastically improve their symptoms and quality of life. I believe here is more hope for chronic disease than we are led to believe.

I specialize in digestive issues as well as insulin resistance & PCOS.

A little glimpse into my daily life…I’m a homeschooling mama to two wild boys who keep me on my toes. Family life is much different than my original journey when I simply had to worry about feeding myself. I bring this into my work by helping clients implement diet and lifestyle changes that work in their specific season of life. I do NOT believe in a one size fits all approach and you will NEVER see me recommend the same “plan” for more than one client. Health is individual.

What past clients have to say…

“Amanda has a wonderful energy and spirit that helps you feel at ease as soon as you meet her! She is very knowledgeable about the many different ways to help every person who hires her as their health coach. You will not be disappointed!” -Jessica V.

”After working with Amanda I felt more empowered to make better food and lifestyle choices that aligned with my health goals. With her help, I was able to identify certain food sensitivities and choose better meal options to maintain my energy throughout the workday.” -Jasmine J.

“Amanda helped me achieve my goals and acquiring better eating habits, educating me on some food alternatives and their benefits. All that time we spent together was very informative and pleasant. Thank you Amanda!” -Pamela L.

I'm here to support you on your individual journey to uncover your own gifts and find playfulness, happiness, and abundance, so you can enjoy life to its fullest with the infinite support of the universe on your side.

I don't believe anyone needs to be "healed.” You simply need the space and support to clear what’s blocking your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Through various modalities, I help you uncover the layers and blocks that may be keeping you from authentically being you.

I’ve been fortunate to travel to some incredible places and meet amazing teachers and mentors along the way. I’m a certified yoga teacher, Integrative Health Coach, and Reiki Level 2 practitioner, but I feel the real magic goes much deeper. I’ve studied breathwork, somatic movement, shamanic healing, holistic medicine, and nutritional healing across many traditions.

My own spiritual journey began through a long history of autoimmune issues and "mystery" ailments that seemed to be never-ending. What started as a pattern in childhood intensified when I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age 18. I was tossed from doctor to doctor and given various medications and injections that never fully worked. In college, I started practicing yoga in my dorm room to maintain my mental sanity and joined a meditation group on campus, all the while still partying and believing the doctors were right that “nothing I ate, drank, or did would change me and I'd be stuck like this forever.”

One year into this madness, I had a "moment" during yoga where I found myself reconnecting with my body and trusting that I had the answers within me. I was drawn to the library, where I was guided to a book called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle, Intestinal Health through Diet" by Elaine Gottschall. This book was written before I was born, and yet none of my doctors had ever heard of it or suggested anything about diet, other than “eat less fruits/veggies and more white bread/pasta,” which felt counterintuitive. I discovered a holistic health practitioner and nutritionist who were actually interested in helping me reclaim my health, stopped my aggressive immunosuppressants and other medications, and dove down a path to heal myself with food.

Food has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up a picky eater but was fortunate to have a mom who was a nutritionist and dad a chef, leading me to develop a love for baking before I cuold read. That said, I never believed in compromising my taste buds for health, so I embarked on a mission to make healthy, healing foods taste good, a passion of which has served me and others very well. Over a decade later, I can safely say I'm medication-free, healthy, and happy, all driven by the healing power of food and intention.

After following more of these intuitive "nudges" I began to believe more in the magic of listening and learning. Through being open to guidance and connecting deeper with plants, nature, and all of the support that surrounds us, I found things began to come effortlessly. I overcame the Western belief that working harder equates to success, and while I do continue to work hard, I found it less taxing to do so from a place of truth. I successfully passed my CPA tests in 3 months, a feat that typically takes 1+ years, and continued to pursue my passion for learning. I found myself deepening my love for yoga, expanding my knowledge of holistic healthcare, and going on to get various certifications in these to share with others. Through living in this alignment and listening to my own intuition, my life has been completely transformed.

Why did I share all this about me? Because wherever you are coming from, know that you too can access your intuition and allow life to be easy. It doesn't have to be exhausting, anxiety-ridden, or stressful. IT CAN BE EASY. I am here to help you connect deeper and learn skills to balance your own energy field and find the support you need to thrive.

I truly believe we are all here for a purpose and have the innate ability to heal ourselves and others and am honored to support people on their journey to do just that.
