Hi! I’m Dr. Amanda and I work with individuals who are seeking a way to live a more authentic, purpose-driven life without the constant distraction of pain and tension in their bodies. These individuals know health, vitality, and community are the key pillars to advancing them in the direction of their goals. I am a first time momma to baby Cooper (born 10/1/23) and I love being a wife and chiropractor.
MY STORY:
Through chiropractic, I went from dull and exhausted to full of life and living out my purpose every day and I know that’s possible for you, too.
I was once stuck in a job I hated, living with chronic pain, and wondering; could this really be it?! Is this all there is? I was making cold calls all day at a sales job which further exacerbated my neck pain until one day, something deep inside told me to try chiropractic. The day I had my first adjustment, my whole life changed. Immediately after leaving the chiropractic office, I called my grandma and told her, “it feels like lights are turned on in my body that I didn’t even know were off. My whole body is buzzing with electricity and excitement.” My neck pain subsided, I could think clearly about the choices I was making, and I finally start planning what I wanted to do with my life. For the first time since my childhood, I was ready to play and fully participate in this beautiful world we live in. Within 8 months I began chiropractic school at Life Chiropractic College West.
Chiropractic changed my life and it can change yours too. When your nervous system is clear, you can experience uninterrupted guidance toward your highest self and the fullest expression of your being. We will work together to improved your every day function and mobility. I’m eager and ready to work together, especially if you’re experiencing pain, because I know that when you are no longer distracted by the pain, the real work begins.
Random things about me:
I love playing volleyball in our community rec leagues, I love to get crafty when I can, I enjoy making new recipes but its really all about the presentation of the food to me, I love a savory red wine, and love playing board games with my husband.
TESTIMONIALS
“I had the distinct pleasure to work with Dr. Amanda in multiple different contexts. She was a peer and colleague of mine in school, the context in which I got to witness her intelligence, perseverance, expertise, and immense compassion. It was because of witnessing her in this way that I reached out for chiropractic care. Working with Dr. Amanda is an absolute joy. She was consistently attentive, incredibly present and effective at what she does. Dr. Amanda helped me feel safe when there was pain, and always helped me remember that there is hope even when there is fear. I look forward to referring my loved ones to Dr. Amanda for support along their own healing journeys!” -Abby P.
“Amanda has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is super thorough, empathetic, and meticulous when it came to our weekly adjustments. I couldn’t have asked for better care and someone who is more passionate about the work they provide to their client. I am so happy I found her to help me through my journey!” -Jaci D.
“When Amanda became my chiropractic intern at Life West Health Center, I was still a new patient to the clinic and to chiropractic care in general. Since then I have learned so much from her! She is super bright and intelligent, and I knew right away that she has a heart for what she does in chiropractic care. Her continuous enthusiasm about health has encouraged me to learn more about how my body works. I was always asking her numerous questions and she always had the solutions. Amanda is so knowledgeable! To this day, I still reach out to her and bother her with questions. My body has made so many positive changes within the past year, not only from chiropractic care but also changing my way of living as well.
The one part I always looked forward to out of my hectic week was to come to my weekly visit with Amanda. I am a student/student teacher and have severe anxiety most of the time. Coming to my appointments with Amanda have not only helped me physically, but mostly mentally. Just sharing my struggles, childhood trauma, and life updates with her really put my mind at peace. Amanda created a safe space for me to open up and share my thoughts and feelings. I appreciate everything she has done at Life West. I am super proud of her for achieving her goal in becoming Dr. Amanda Randolph!” -Melissa M.
Family, Pregnancy, and Pediatric Chiropractor - Webster Certified
Hi! I am Dr. Mara, I am committed to caring for whole families. My mission is to inspire lasting health, instill self-assurance, and facilitate a strong foundation of well-being, ensuring that every individual feels empowered through all facets of life.
My approach to every new practice member is with a compassionate focus on nurturing empowerment, trust, and support while also being committed to fostering a sense of capability and confidence within every mother and child. I have additional training in Webster Technique, being a Certified Birth and Labor Doula, Infant Adjusting and Breastfeeding Assessment Course, Craniosacral Technique, Dynamic Body Balancing and currently working towards my Perinatal Certification from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
My journey into chiropractic care started following a series of 12 concussions over four years, coupled with debilitating migraines and post-concussion syndrome. Throughout my undergraduate years as a Division II collegiate swimmer, I grappled with the adverse effects of medications and steroid injections, which hindered my quality of life. Recognizing the toll they took on me, I transitioned to a smaller Division III school in Western North Carolina, prioritizing self-care. Serendipitously, I stumbled upon an opportunity to work as a chiropractic assistant near my new campus. Here, I was introduced to the profound link between my physical well-being and the functionality of my nervous system, leading to a pivotal realization.
By the end of my senior year of college I decided to become a chiropractor myself. I decided to leave North Carolina and make the cross country trip to attend Life Chiropractic College West. I graduated summa cum laude with research honors in 2023 and shortly after decided that the PNW was where I wanted to call home!
Outside of the office I love hiking, traveling, lifting weights, painting, finding great coffee shops, reading and doing research for the chiropractic and women’s health profession!
