Meet Amanda

I’m Amanda Smith, the founder of Integrated Body. I’ve spent 20 years immersed in massage therapy and holistic healing, from both an Eastern and Western perspective. Since 2016, it’s been my privilege to teach, inspire, and empower those stepping into this incredible field of healing as a tutor with Holistic Health Training Ltd. I’m a qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Remedial Massage Therapist, passionate about helping others cultivate a deeper understanding of wellness — both in their own lives and in the lives of their clients.

In my clinical practice, I specialised in supporting people living with chronic pain — including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and polymyalgia. Through my work as a remedial massage therapist, I developed a deep understanding of the body’s patterns of tension, pain, and healing. But I also began to recognise that symptom relief, while valuable, wasn’t always enough. I wanted to understand the deeper ‘why’ behind the pain — the root causes driving these conditions. That curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Natural Medicine, allowing me to expand my approach, integrate evidence-based natural therapies, and support true healing on every level.

Alongside my own practice, I’m proud to be a tutor with Holistic Health Training Ltd, where I teach NZQA-accredited and professional development courses. This is a truly special organisation that lives and breathes the principles of holistic health. We understand what draws people to this path — the desire to help, to heal, and to make a meaningful difference. Our tutors share that passion, and together, we’ve helped hundreds of students gain certificate in holistic therapies, launching them into careers as compassionate, skilled holistic health therapists. Our graduates are known for bringing mindfulness, care, and attentiveness to every aspect of their practice.

Before my time in healthcare and education, I worked as a journalist — driven by a desire to advocate for those whose voices weren’t heard. That same calling to support and uplift continues in the work I do today.

I believe true wellness must embrace all aspects of life — physical, emotional, spiritual, and social. Through individualised, whole-person education and care, I support my clients in building resilience, and empower my students to grow in confidence and create thriving practices rooted in meaning and integrity.

Whether you’re here to learn or to heal — welcome. I’m here to support you.

    “Amanda is an amazing naturopath, helping me with my hormones, gut health and my nervous system. Amanda was always very thorough with my treatment plan and made sure I knew exactly why I was being prescribed a specific herb, supplement, dietry or life recommendation. Her beautiful nature and intuitive skills helped heal me and I would recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a natural approach to achieve their health goals”

“I’ve taken several of Amanda’s massage courses, and each one has been incredibly informative and well-structured.

She has a real gift for teaching—her explanations are clear, her techniques are easy to follow, and she always provides valuable insights that go beyond the basics.

On top of that, Amanda is such a lovely person! Her warm and approachable nature makes the learning experience even more enjoyable.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, I highly recommend her courses.”
