“Amanda was warm, kind and professional as we prepared to conceive our son. I looked forward to our sessions every week. I had been told that I might have problems conceiving due to my age (I was 41) and past health issues, including chemotherapy. Amanda did not let this faze her or cast doubts on my treatments. We started acupuncture a few months before my husband and I tried to conceive, to prepare my body for pregnancy. I don't know the ins and outs of acupuncture, so I can't point to one thing that she did that did the trick. But, I was pregnant within three months after my husband and I started trying. This was after years of being told by doctors it probably wouldn't happen for me. Now we have a 15-month old boy stomping in puddles. We did not end up needing IVF or other hormonal therapies. I feel my sessions with Amanda helped make this pregnancy a success.”

“Amanda is an amazing human and acupuncturist. She is kind, caring, and gentle in her approach. She is incredibly passionate about the art of acupuncture and its healing benefits and has answered any and all of my questions without hesitation. My weekly sessions have truly been the highlight of my week. In every session Amanda is attentive to my body and pulse, and tailors our session to my specific needs. She is intentional at finding the root cause of what may be going on. Not only is she an amazing acupuncturist, she is an amazing herbalist as well.

I have struggled with my PCOS since I was 13 and as a result have struggled with infertility and pregnancy loss. My partner I had been trying for about three years and had two miscarriages before I started seeing Amanda in October for both my PCOS and infertility. I truly believe that within the few months I had been seeing Amanda, that I became pregnant because of acupuncture and the herbs that she recommended. I have continued to see Amanda and am now 12 weeks pregnant. She has been so gracious and caring towards me; doing all she can to support, and lift, so that my pregnancy continues to stay healthy. I truly recommend Amanda if you are struggling in any way physically, and especially when it comes to fertility.”

“I was referred to Amanda by a good friend who had seen her for over a year for various issues, one being trying to re-regulate her menstrual cycle. At this time, I had been off birth control 9 months and was beginning to plan for pregnancy. The problem was my periods were so unreliable and with my long cycle length, I had a hard time finding ovulation. I was very stressed out and feared I would not be able to conceive. The first time I saw Amanda she made me feel comfortable right away, listening to my concerns and remaining calm and encouraging. Her energy put me at ease and gave me hope. Within hours of leaving my first session- my period came! I was amazed and grateful- for the first time believing in something that I always heard of but never fully trusted- acupuncture. I have seen Amanda every Monday for the last 6 weeks and in this time, I have been able to find my ovulation and conceive, I am 8 weeks pregnant and couldn't be happier or more thankful. Amanda tells me once I hit the second trimester I will no longer need to come in until the end and this thought I don't like at all. It’s not just the miracles that acupuncture has given to me but the time with Amanda that is very therapeutic and calming each week. She is always there to respond to my texts with concerns and questions and always has a calm and hopeful perspective on things. I could go on and on about how much this experience has done for me but I would highly recommend you meeting her yourself, especially when it comes to fertility!"

“Honestly can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Amanda. I went in for chronic migraines (which for the very first time since they started, lessened and eased once I started working with her) but really, I came out with so, so much more.

As someone with chronic health stuff, I know it’s annoying when people are like ‘just try acupuncture!’ but really, Amanda was the first of many health practitioners I’ve worked with that gave me a framework that helped me understand what was happening in my body AND provided me with comfort and relief. She’s also so so sweet and her energy really is like the warmth and magic of golden hour.”

“Amanda is an exceptional acupuncturist and health care provider. Her gentle, compassionate and calm demeanor put you at ease almost immediately upon walking in the door. Amanda has an innate ability to connect with you on a deeper level and hone in on the smallest nuances that can be impacting your overall well-being. No treatment is ever the same and Amanda takes great care to ensure she’s providing a customized plan for you based on where you are spiritually, physically and mentally. Her thirst for knowledge and healing sets her apart from others. Following several years of deteriorating health, a lot of frustration on my part and misstep after misstep from western focused doctors, I found Amanda and she was able to quickly make a positive impact on the state of my mental and physical health. Over two years later, Amanda has become my health partner as well as a trusted confidant. Amanda is a true healer and gem in the wonderful world of eastern medicine.”

“Prior to finding Amanda, my wife and I went through a round of IVF and came out with one healthy embryo. We were fortunate that the transfer took and anxious about it sticking long-term. I started getting weekly acupuncture treatments with Amanda following the transfer and feel forever grateful to her for the care I received during this tender time, and her help in supporting a relatively symptom-free and comfortable pregnancy that went full-term and resulted in a healthy baby.

Amanda blends a combination of skill, intuition and emotional intelligence and practices in a way that is healing to both mind and body.

I found her to be affirming to my relationship constellation, and would recommend her to people in the LGBTQ+ community who are seeking affirming care.

I appreciate Amanda’s commitment to accessibility and willingness to accommodate my personal access needs due to symptoms related to a chronic health issue that I have. I am fortunate to be able to continue acupuncture with her postpartum and look forward to the healing that is to come.“

“I was fortunate to have prenatal massages with Hilde. I have had a lot of massage in my life and Hilde is among the top practitioners I have seen. She is really strong and created an experience that allowed my body to completely relax which isn’t easy in the third trimester! Highly recommend her in pregnancy and beyond.”

“Amanda is an amazing practitioner. I was struggling immensely with post viral symptoms and I had little hope of improving when I started, but I have done nothing but improve since. She performed a complete and accurate assessment of my physical and emotional health. She takes her time to develop an appropriate management plan that includes acupuncture and herbal supplements if appropriate. She listens intentionally and most importantly, she truly cares about you as a complete person. She improved my health overall and relieved my pain.”

“The acupuncturist you choose makes a difference. I have been to other acupuncturists before who did not have the in-depth training or expertise that Amanda has - she is extremely knowledgeable about acupuncture and Chinese Medicine as a whole. I had a painful shoulder with decreased range of motion, Amanda performed acupuncture and most of the pain was gone with one treatment and I have not had a problem since. Amanda is amazing!”

-C.S., RN

“Amanda has been a lifesaver to me. I have been suffering through hot flashes the past three years because I did not want to take meds or do HRT. I wanted a natural approach, which Amanda offers. She has ben treating me for the past year and my hot flashes have been reduced 90%. Every appointment, She listens to my issues and treats according to what is going on with me that day, while always including treatment for hot flashes. She is gentle and intentional in her treatment. She has a warm, welcoming personality to go with the treatment. I recommend her 100%”

-P. H.

“Amanda is great at what she does. She’s very kind and does her best to ensure that I’m comfortable during my appointments! She’s happy to answer any of my questions about her methods and the history of acupuncture. I would definitely recommend booking an appointment with her!

-Carter

“I first went to Amanda after pulling out my back July 2019. Every session since has been such a wonderful experience! I have been to several acupuncturists before, but none with the healing presence, care, kindness, and dedication to working WITH me to heal anything from physical pains, to mental/emotional concerns, professional/personal challenges, etc. I am a mental health therapist, and my time with Amanda has been my favorite form of self-care. My career involves so much active listening and talking, so my healing happens through purposeful silence and energetic balance. She is very intentional about making space for that every time”

“Our journey of infertility started in October of 2016. We tried for over 6 months without any help. Eventually we saw there may be larger issues we could not control. We started with a few checkpoints through specialists. After crossing out major issues, we began our REI treatments. After 1 surgery and 4 IUI’s we decided to invest in the IVF cycles. After a mock IVF for tests and an additional 3 IVF’s we still had no results and no answers. During our last IVF, I contacted Amanda Dobron to pursue fertility acupuncture. During these sessions I felt heard. She listened to me, my body, my stressors, my ambitions and created a plan specific to my needs. In December of 2019 we were without embryos and at a crossroads of what to continue and what to cease. I decided to still see Amanda Dobron for private acupuncture sessions and attended her yoga/accu sessions. The following month, January 2020, we found out we were indeed pregnant. I am thankful to all the specialists, including my local REI doctor, involved in my journey, all the prayers, and Amanda Dobron’s acupuncture expertise and knowledge specifically in the infertility world. I am thankful to all participants for the success of our long and emotional journey.”

“At Golden Hour, Amanda has been so attentive to my wellbeing. At every appointment she is present and listens carefully with empathy to my discomforts. I have seen so much improvement in my mental and physical health. Everyday I notice more and more the changes in my movement and body. I am so grateful for her and all the dedication she has for the clients as well as for the practice.  Thank you for being part of my well-being and for all you do Amanda! You are greatly appreciated!”

“Amanda Dobron has been nothing short of stellar as my therapist. After undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy I developed grade 3 neuropathy. Initially, my personal focus for treatment was on dealing with the neuropathy that I have in my hands and feet. Through use of our pretreatment intakes, I’ve learned to be present to other parts of my overall health. Amanda has helped me to improve the relationship I have with my mind, body, and soul.

I feel very comfortable with the level of knowledge that she displays every session. Amanda doesn’t just go around tossing theories about, she finds her information at the source. Before treatment we have a detailed intake which includes some Q & A with me. Even more beneficial is the reading of my pulses that she does.  Looking inward, and letting my body communicate. Through this communication we tailor our treatment plan for the day.

Amanda has proven to be very skilled with the use of needles during my treatments. Acupuncture is always a seamless and pain free experience with her. That being said, her knowledge goes beyond the needle. Moxa, herbs and e-stem are tools that have also been commonly incorporated into my treatments.  

Above everything else Amanda is simply a wonderful person who takes a keen interest in her patients. She has an awesome energy and is an excellent communicator. I really feel that she looks beyond the surface when making her assessments. She has taken the time to build a good patient/therapist relationship with me. I always feel the benefits of my treatment immediately after my session.”

“Amanda Dobron, Acupuncturist: If I was apprehensive about a chiropractor then I was highly skeptical when it came to acupuncture. Having tried it in the past, I figured I understood it and it wasn't for me. I have never been so wrong. I'm not sure how to describe it without using the words magical and mind blowing. Amanda takes extra time with her patients to offer the treatment that matches their individual needs in that moment. I can actually feel the energy flow change in my body. When my session is complete my anger, pain and anxiety are lifted and I float around on a cloud for several days.”

“ I am in my 60's and have never had acupuncture before. I went because I was having trouble with my stomach due to acid reflux. My stomach would bloat to the point where I looked like I was 5-6 months pregnant, get hard as a rock and hurt.  My doctor had prescribed meds for it, but I would still have issues. Thanks to Amanda, I had several treatments for my stomach and was able to go off my prescribed medicine. I told my doctor about it and he was happy that I could get off the meds. That was over a year ago. In addition, I had a strong headache that was localized in one spot. Amanda was able to treat it and the headache was gone once she finished. I highly recommend Amanda.”
