She holds a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Nurse Midwifery and has passed the national certification exam by the American Midwifery Certification Board.

Amanda is committed to safe and personalized care throughout pregnancy and childbirth. For high-risk pregnancies, she collaborates with physician partners to ensure optimal care for both mother and baby. A common misconception is that certified nurse midwives only assist with non-medicated births; however, they support all birth plans, including those involving pain management options like epidurals.
Most certified nurse midwives deliver within hospital labor units or free-standing birth centers. Beyond pregnancy and childbirth, Amanda provides care for women at every life stage, addressing medical conditions and supporting transitions through reproductive health and menopause.
