My massage journey starts at the Mount Nittany Institute of Natural Health in State College, Pennsylvania.  Tai Chi was the core background to my massage training, however, I took a special interest in the deeper side of Massage with studying Neuromuscular Therapy and Deep Fascia Release, also known as 'trigger point' therapy.  After graduation in 2003, I began working with late Dr. Andrew Bieber in his Chiropractic office that same year. This professional environment offered a unique approach to the way I massage in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments.
 

FAQ: What kind of massage do I do?

A mix of Swedish, DFR & NMT.

Massage is a uniquely personal experience you want to be comfortable with. Making every attempt to inhibit you to let go of YOU is so important because when you are relaxed so are your muscles making my work more effective.   My job is to get clients used to my work/touch (DFR - deep fascia release & NMT - neuromuscular therapy) which are typically painful therapies, while remaining within the client's pain limits and easing their soreness post-massage.   

I'm currently writing a course on these modalities.  My goal is to copyright and get credentialing through NCBTMB to offer Continuing Education classes to teach at the Knead It or Not Massage & Bodyworks location and more!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Kathleen on Oct 16
Amanda listens to what your specific needs each visit and is very good, I highly recommend her.
by Betty on Oct 03
Amanda is the best! She's very personable and professional, making you feel relaxed and comfortable before you even get on the table. Her massage technics are phenomenal. That's why I drive over 40 minutes to get to get to her, even though there are other massage clinics less than 5 miles from my home. She gives a head to toe experience, taking the time to zone in on any problem areas and working them out with skill and precision. I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️

If you want an amazing massage, Amanda is your person. She is very knowledgeable and knows the exact spot to work on. I’m seeing her for SI joint and hip pain. PT and injections did not help. Amanda is definitely helping with her magical hands.

Amanda is fantastic. She always asks what area is bothersome before the visit so she can focus on that area. Amanda is very professional. The heat packs she uses are wonderful! Highly recommend
