When I signed up to take Amanda’s MCAS course, I had low expectations. After all, this is a lifelong condition we are relegated to suffer with, right? Nah. For 2 years, I had been working hard on my low histamine diet and was well medicated to lower my symptoms…. but I was burnt out and exhausted, desperate and hopeless. I missed eating my favorite meals (strawberry and goat cheese with balsamic reduction, anyone?!) and despised taking medication FOUR times a day. I was gripped with fear that any amount of mold or antibiotics would cause a resurgence in my symptoms like anaphylaxis. In Amanda’s class, I learned the tangible steps I needed to take to let go of that fear. She utilizes a unique combination of somatic therapy with other techniques and lays out exactly what to do in order to move forward.
Over the last two months, (thanks to her program and with my doctor’s support) I’ve been able to reduce my medication from four times a day to ONCE a day! I’ve been releasing fear and reintroducing high histamine foods back into my diet. And guess what?! NO REACTIONS! If this keeps up, I’ll be able to go off my medication entirely. It feels like a miracle, but it’s not. I literally just followed Amanda’s program, and here I am. Living my life, recovering from MCAS. I learned SO much about what caused my MCAS and how to navigate the complexities of this disease within my body. I really craved the step-by-step guidance I got with this program, and it was worth every penny. She literally held my hand every step of the way. Even if I have a resurgence of symptoms (which I doubt will happen), I feel confident and capable I know exactly what to do to mitigate those symptoms. This was the best Christmas gift I ever could have hoped for! THANK YOU, AMANDA! YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

“I took the “How To Feel” course hoping to gain insight into why I was stuck repeating the same patterns. What I found most valuable was learning the explicit steps to take in order to implement change. Literally 5 steps changed my life. The hardest part was actually being accountable and implementing the steps. I set my alarm 3x a day and did the work. Even when I thought “this is stupid.” But here I am, writing a glowing testimonial because this actually changed my life. I started implementing the steps with my 5 year old daughter at bedtime, and she’s been calming down and going to sleep easier. I realized with the program I wasn’t giving myself enough credit. Change is hard. I need to slow down and sit with what I’m feeling, instead of rushing through and trying to speed the healing up. Instead of running away from the uncomfortable feelings, doing the techniques Amanda taught me have made those previously intolerable feelings….actually tolerable. Neutral, even. It’s allowing me to work through things that I have compartmentalized for years. My husband has noticed huge changes in me, too. I’ve been calmer, more peaceful, less irritated and less angry. I’m communicating my needs without exploding. It’s wild- I wasn’t expecting any of this! I think anyone suffering from feeling “stuck” on the hamster wheel should take this course. Anyone suffering from high anxiety and feeling rushed 24/7 should take this course. Truly, anyone would benefit. I feel extremely grateful to have stumbled upon this absolute goldmine of techniques that has allowed me to regain my sense of peace. Priceless."
THANK YOU, AMANDA! I am so grateful you’ve gifted me access to your courses. They are worth their weight in gold.
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with Amanda,to say I was pleased in working with her is an understatement, she is so easy to talk to. You can just tell that she genuinely cares, and her knowledge and love for the science is amazing. Amanda is excellent at explaining the connection between the labs and how your body is presenting with symptoms. The resources that she utilizes and shares are some of the best out there. Her guidance was so monumental in helping me navigate some pretty intense issues. I look forward to working with Amanda again in the future.
I started working with Amanda initially for the main purpose of wanting some guidance on removing mold from my body. Her knowledge, guidance and support on that aspect alone was priceless to me. She then began working with me on my nervous system and I realized so much about myself and my healing journey and where all of my “hang-ups” have been due to giving no attention to the emotional/mental aspect of healing to make my body actually feel safe enough to begin to heal. She has given and taught me tools that I will forever use to improve my nervous system and continue to improve my health. She has an immense amount of knowledge on literally everything that one needs to get a solid grip on their health journey. Amanda genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her clients and provides lots of resources to help them in whatever way she can, even if it means referring them to a separate practitioner or program where she feels they may find more benefit. Working with her was and continues to be hands down one of the best investments I’ve made in myself on my health journey! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is just beginning to try and heal or someone like me who is years into the process of healing. She is a bright light in the wellness community and I’m forever grateful for her in this space.
I have loved working with Amanda. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in multiple areas of mental and physical health, she is very down to earth and relatable. It’s rare to find a combination of someone with such extensive training in mental health and chronic illness. She helps tie together all the pieces and understands the complexities of how systems and experiences are interconnected. Highly recommend working with her for anyone struggling with mental, emotional, or physical health issues!
Amanda significantly helped me with histamine response/reactions as well as understanding what histamine does, how the nervous system affects it, and how to keep it bay through the Happy Histamine course. That six week period was packed with valuable information that I still review to this day.
"When I first came to Creating Balance Health, I was broken. My brain didn't work - I couldn't read, retain, or write letters. I had stopped doing all of my favorite things. Lyme disease took away my energy and replaced it with pain. Over the past few months, utilizing the full body scans and regimens given to me by Balanced Health, I've gotten my life back. I can read books again, plan homeschool curriculum for my toddler girls,and just enjoy life again. I am eternally grateful for the gift of education they've given me - the consultations with Amanda Wegmann were invaluable. Truly, the information from your scans is just the first step. without Amanda's vast knowledge and expertise, I wouldn't have been able to make all the changes and heal so quickly. The road to heal from Lyme disease is a long one, but I'm finally back in the drivers seat thanks to Creating balanced Health."
I found this program to be so enlightening and really helpful. Between the education aspect in the calls, and then the tangible tools afterwards in the podica account, it was wonderful. As far as any of it being hard to grasp, I personally struggled with the meditations and the 5 channels of awareness. Not because it wasn't broken down or explained appropriately, but because I tend to get foggy and "shut down" when it comes to feeling things. I couldn't quite do any 5 channels of awareness without your guided meditation because I would forget what the 5 channels were immediately afterwards. Not a you problem, definitely a me problem I actually didn't even know there was going to be meditations and tangible tools to use after each live call so that was a bonus to find out after I signed up. I started neurofeedback a couple months ago and it has been such a helpful tool to help me actually be calm enough to sit and focus during these sessions so I found How To Feel to be really helpful in conjunction with other nervous system regulation tools. As far as benefiting the most, I think anyone stuck in freeze or even in chronic fight or flight could really benefit from this and I just want to thank you for bringing it into the world. My clients who signed up also shared that they felt so seen and so validated after each call. Thank you Amanda.
Amanda is a real powerhouse in the health and wellness space. She's always seeking the best in physical/mental/spiritual health for herself and her clients. I am continually inspired by her passion for growth and her multi faceted approach to healing. She has helped me to understand the deep, interconnected, wholeness of health. She is present and always open to an individuals experience and holds space for those experiences masterfully. In doing this, she partners with you on your healing journey. If you're on a chronic illness journey you know how powerful this can be! She asks powerful questions and shares rich resources. Amanda empowers you to reach for your own greatness and to listen to your heart and body. I'm so grateful that our paths collided!
Amanda is truly amazing! She’s extremely knowledgeable in her field, and what she doesn’t know immediately she will research with vengeance until she’s comfortable enough to speak on it. She has a plethora of well researched, high quality products in her wheelhouse. I have always felt confident with her advice and recommendations, as she’s tried many of the products she recommends first hand. So thankful for the work she does!
Working with Amanda has really helped me to greatly improve the symptoms I was having because of MCAS and mold toxicity. I believe that her skillset is truly unique in the world of health practitioners.
If you are looking to dive deep and do some healing work, she’s your girl! She looks at everything for multiple perspectives so you can really get to the root cause. Literally everyone can benefit from working with her.
Amanda is amazing and so knowledgeable. She is very punctual and gives a perspective that most practitioners cannot. She incorporates the mind body connection and is able to take her years of healing and learning and drill down to the few main things you need to work on. She is one of the smartest practitioners I have ever worked with- and I’ve worked with a bunch! Highly recommend!
'I made contact with Amanda through Instagram following a number of years battling mold toxicity. I was still trying to work out how to improve my sinuses. We had a number of exchanges and some of the advice & suggested interventions allowed me to breathe more easily for the first time in a number of years.
I've had a few other contacts over a number of months and Amanda has always responded. The impression I have, is that she genuinely cares about people and their long-term health.
