Amanda relocated from Texas to Hawaii nearly six years ago, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a passion for patient care. While she doesn’t hold a formal medical degree, Amanda describes herself as having a “book of medical knowledge” built from over 30 years of hands-on experience in the healthcare field.

Her journey began in 1994, right out of high school in San Antonio, TX, when she took her first job as a PBX switchboard operator. Within six months, she transitioned to the Administrative Admissions Department, where she discovered her love for helping others. This role marked the beginning of her dedication to customer care and building meaningful relationships.

After moving to Dallas, TX, Amanda continued her career in healthcare, expanding her knowledge of overall wellness and being introduced to Concierge Medicine. She spent nearly a decade at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, working alongside a team of concierge physicians and collaborating with Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the founder of Aerobics. This experience was pivotal, deepening her understanding of the importance of health, fitness, and patient-centered care.

Now a part of Kona Integrative Health, Amanda is thrilled to bring her expertise to the Big Island community. She is committed to delivering exceptional care, building strong patient relationships, and supporting individuals in achieving their health goals.

Outside of work, Amanda has been happily married to her best friend, John, for 28 years, and together they have three amazing sons. She enjoys golfing with her husband, photography, long-distance running, and ending her days watching Hawaii’s stunning sunsets.

As Amanda says, “I’m just a Texas country girl living in a Hawaiian paradise world!” 🌺
