Amanda is originally from Argentina born and raised. She is a classically trained musician & neuroanatomist. In 2021 she resigned from assistant professor position at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, where she taught Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to first year med students, physicians assistants and physical therapists, and went back to school for training in Traditional Naturopathy. Along the way she started a Health Coaching and Wellness Education business, Horaios Wellness, LLC, where our mission is to provide accessible health and wellness information for anyone ready to take charge of their own health. She also became a Consultant for BRMT USA (where we use rhythmic movement training to integrate active primitive reflexes), and completed her certification in Applied Quantum Biology, through the Institute for Applied Quantum Biology. She believes that INSPIRATION plus EDUCATION is the best medication. Our overarching vision is to bring the principles of Natural Law back into the health and wellness setting in order to transform the current, fear-based sick care paradigm into an awe-filled model that nourishes and sustains healthy living. She works one-on-one and in groups, both in person and via zoom, offering health coaching & educational opportunities where we discuss and investigate practical ways to implement habits that nourish our body clocks, our body water and our autonomic nervous system. She also hosts monthly community conversations at a local yoga studio, and has an online community, where they talk about assorted health and wellness issues and how to approach them through a quantum lens.

“Everything is connected to everything,” explains Amanda Stencken, PhD, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discuss the way small movements—rhythmic integrated movements to be exact—can create huge changes in the body. As Amanda explains, during our development in the womb and in our earliest years, our bodies make unconscious movements to help us develop and connect all of our parts to help us function optimally. When these movements, after serving their purpose, fail to phase themselves out, issues ranging from ADHD and autism to anxiety and weight gain arise. On today’s episode, Amanda explores the idea that the body stores all of our life baggage in our water, particularly in our fascia. And when we engage in movements that the body associates with safety, we open up pathways to allow for the rapid movement of information and ultimately healing. You’ll hear her explain why we need to learn to slow down, listen to our bodies, and trust that if we learn to give the right inputs, it will take care of the outputs. The best news is that it’s never too late to start to heal. Today Amanda and Meredith will share personal stories of healing through rhythmic integrated movements, as well as its benefits to women at all stages of menopause and its effects on trauma recovery. Quotes: “What a lot of people have figured out from observing babies and kids is that a lot of behavior issues, learning issues, reading disabilities, reading deficits, all go back to primitive reflexes that, for whatever reason, didn’t disappear when they were supposed to. They remained active…So what happens is these reflexes are active until different brain parts are linked up.” (9:20 | Amanda Steencken) “The gentle movements that we do in rhythmic movement training, what are those doing? Could it be that those gentle movements are also generating electrons and charging our fourth phase water…could the water associated with that hold safety signals and safety information that got cut off life happens?” (33:03 | Amanda Steencken) “Trauma. Abuse. A surgery. A disease…All these things affect our water, and if our water is so integral to information transmission and to memory storage, could it be that something so gentle as rhythmic rocking… is unsticking the water in us and allowing information to flow again?” (33:41 | Amanda Steencken) “As we go on this journey of true healing, a key part of that is learning the language of the body, learning how to listen. And most of the time the things that the body says in terms of symptoms, pains, so on and so forth are the body’s way of telling us to, ‘Slow down. Chill out. I’ve got what I need. Trust me.” (43:50 | Amanda Steencken) Links Primitive Reflex Integration - https://mailchi.mp/horaioswellness/sakpen0807 Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training - https://www.brmtusa.com/primitive-reflexes Connect with Amanda Steencken, PhD: Website: https://horaioswellness.com Book A Call w/ Amanda: https://calendly.com/horaioswellness/complimentary-discovery-conversation-video?month=2024-08 Socials: https://www.instagram.com/horaioswellness/ Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Pioneering practitioners who teach circadian health & quantum biology.

“If you address the inputs, the outputs address themselves,” says Dr. Amanda Steencken, who joins The Quantum Biology Podcast to discuss her work with primitive reflex integration work. Primitive reflexes, she explains, are the body’s involuntary movements, which occur down to the subatomic level, in response to stimuli that promote brain development and keep us safe in the world. When this connection is never stimulated, or gets turned off for myriad reasons, the results are anything from fallen arches in the foot, to chronic pain, to anxiety and learning disabilities. The particular form of rhythmic movement training that Amanda practices imitates and recapitulates the movements done during development in utero, thus stimulating the brain connection. After getting her PhD in neuroscience and later studying naturopathy, Dr. Amanda discovered primitive reflex integration work, while looking for treatment for her own family The changes she has seen and experienced from it, combined with light optimization and balanced circadian rhythm, have been so remarkable as to lead her to place movement above nutrition and even oxygen in terms of vitality and importance to healing and optimal health. This practice is also beneficial for those stuck in fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses of their sympathetic nervous system. As rhythmic movement recreates the activity of our safest environment, it also shines a light on the importance of moving past fear to move toward healing. Join today’s podcast to learn how less is more, why healing is never pretty, but the smallest adjustments can yield the biggest results. Quotes “Food is important, but I’m at the point where I really strongly believe it is not the most important thing. Until you fix the light and until you become more aware of how to nourish your body water and your mitochondria, it doesn’t matter how keto you go, or how organic you eat, or how little junk food you have.” (17:27 | Dr. Amanda Steencken) “It boggles the mind how simple it is, and yet how dependent we’ve become. I mean, this is how I work now: I need the computer, I need the phone, I need the internet. I think that’s the truth for most of us, so we have to be even more diligent about the light breaks and the morning routine habit and all the little ways in which we can support our systems because we’re completely bombarded all the time with toxins.” (22:17 | Dr. Amanda Steencken) “When we teach these gentle rhythmic movements, we’re reminding that nervous system of something that it already knows. And the beautiful thing about what I just said is that we’re telling the nervous system something that it knows and therefore it can feel safe. We’re recreating the safety cocoon that we started our life out on earth in.” (53:38 | Dr. Amanda Steencken) “If you address your inputs, the outputs address themselves.” (105:21 | Dr. Amanda Steencken) Links Connect with Amanda Steencken: Amanda's Website: https://horaioswellness.com/index.html Book A Discovery Call with Amanda: https://calendly.com/horaioswellness/complimentary-discovery-conversation-video?month=2024-03 Sara Pugh's Quantum Ketosis Course: https://www.appliedquantumbiology.com/ketosis To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification for Practitiners: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Pioneering practitioners who teach circadian health & quantum biology.
