About Amanda

Amanda Baenisch CNHP

Amanda Baenisch CNHP is a Natural Health Practitioner who has been working with people to improve their health and wellness through natural health counseling for 17 years. She is always continuing her education and is working toward a doctorate in alternative medicine. She is practicing in the Lake of the Ozarks and sees clients through virtual visits all over the US.

Amanda practices from a functional medicine perspective. This is an exciting way to approach health! She will work to identify the root causes of what is ailing you and address the underlying factors that are causing symptoms and adversely affecting health. Amanda works closely with her clients to find remedies to their health issues and identify problems before they become a problem! This means in most cases your symptoms will disappear for good! Amanda sees fewer clients daily to provide longer visits with each client.

Amanda is also a hormone specialist, a certified BodyTalk practitioner, a certified enneagram coach. Amanda has had her own healing journey that included healing past emotional trauma. She believes that these emotional traumas lead to her physical body’s poor health, including autoimmune disease. For Amanda it was the combination of functional medicine, BodyTalk, and coaching that restored her to health (including complete remission of her autoimmune condition!). It was important to Amanda to offer these same services to her clients.

Amanda began her life in California and lived in many parts of the country growing up. As an adult she ended up in Kansas City where she practiced from an office in her home and homeschooled her children. After several years of the suburbia lifestyle Amanda and her husband caught the travel bug and traveled the country with their kids in an RV! They settled down in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri in 2015 and love life at the lake! Amanda is still homeschooling one child and is practicing at Absolute Wellness.
