Transform the Stress That Fuels Disease
.jpg)
Dr. Amanda Ferris, ND offers the education, guidance and treatment you need when you realize how stress in your current life, or from past trauma is fueling your disease or life situation. If you've done the therapy, changed your diet, done the cleanses, removed the toxins, avoided the allergens, and invested in the supplements and you still aren't enjoying freedom from disease, then you need to address the deep layer of stress that is holding you back. Stress from your present life, or from old traumas, consumes the energy you need to heal.​
" When you have the tools to release the toxic emotions trapped in your body from unresolved past trauma you will be free to heal faster than you ever thought possible" --Dr. Amanda Ferris, ND

Dr. Chris Sowton
Dr. Amanda is such a guide. Her compassion and wide-ranging experience enable her to accompany people on a journey of growth and change. She is more than a doctor, she is an expert at teaching and sharing practices that can open the way to healing and the return to wholeness.
It wasn’t until shortly after we met that I saw the true capabilities of Dr. Amanda. I was diagnosed with a critical illness that turned my life upside down. I come from a very loving and supportive family but there were some things I didn’t want to burden them with, so I leaned heavily on Dr. Amanda. She always greeted me with open arms and an open heart. I was able to share my fears and sadness with her and she always listened to me without judgement. Dr. Amanda responds with truth and compassion. She heard things that were unsaid and always guided me to the answers I needed to hear. She helped me get through the most difficult time in my life and continues to help me on my journey of ups and downs. Thank you Amanda.
