HER STORY ⟡ Amanda Horn
Today we are meeting Amanda Horn, owner of Knoxville Integrative Women’s Health!
Amanda founded KIWH after navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, hormone dysfunction, and metabolic fluctuations. As an APRN midwife, she is acutely aware of how healthcare CAN marry holistic therapies with traditional western medicine. Using a combination of supplementation, lifestyle medicine and commercial or compounded medications, she works to help you meet your wellness, fertility, metabolic, weight loss and hormone goals!
Why did you start Knoxville Integrative Women’s Health?
I wanted to give women the kind of healthcare I so desperately wanted, myself, while navigating my own wellness journey. Women deserve validating, empowering, redemptive healthcare.
What do you love about being a business owner?
I still have a hard time thinking of myself as a businesswoman! I am absolutely first and foremost a women's healthcare clinician.
What I *do* love is the freedom I have to provide the kind of care that we are all so, so desperate for. I love that I can have hour long appointments with my patients, and that we have the freedom to work *together* to make a plan of care that is right for them.
What type of impact do you hope to have on those you meet and/or who purchase your services?
I hope that my clients feel forward momentum. That they are empowered to use their voice, and that they feel validated in their concerns. And that they receive care that redeems the medical system.
Who or what inspires you?
All of you! The resiliency of women never ceases to amaze me. Despite dismissals, blowings-off, and sometimes worse, we continue fighting for the communication and care that really should be baseline.
What is your favorite piece of advice you've ever received or favorite quote?
"..people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
Beauty is a feeling- a feeling of wholeness and brightness. I think we find beauty everywhere, but inwardly, we find it when we feel *ourselves*.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
Just GO. It's never going to be 'all' ready. It doesn't have to be. Just go!
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
You ARE in charge of your own healthcare. You ARE the leader of your medical team, regardless of how someone has made you feel in the past. YOU are in charge, because no one cares how well you are, more than yourself.
