About Me

Dr. Amanda Santa Maria

I’m a double board-certified physician with advanced training in complementary and integrative medicine and a genuine love for all things wellness and aesthetics. My approach blends evidence-based medicine with thoughtful, natural enhancement—because looking and feeling your best should always be rooted in science, safety, and intention.


I believe in truly understanding each treatment I offer, which is why I personally explore and experience many of the therapies and techniques before incorporating them into patient care. This allows me to approach wellness and aesthetics with both clinical expertise and firsthand perspective.


In addition to my aesthetic practice, I work full-time as an emergency medicine physician, bringing a high level of medical judgment, precision, and attention to safety into everything I do. Every treatment I offer is selected with care and guided by medical standards, ongoing education, and a commitment to quality.

My Philosophy

I believe wellness and aesthetic care should never be one-size-fits-all. The most meaningful results come from personalized treatment plans, thoughtful guidance, and an ongoing provider-patient relationship built on trust and transparency.


My goal is to support your mind and body through customized, physician-led care that prioritizes safety, balance, and long-term well-being. Whether you’re new to aesthetics or looking to refine your routine, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and confidently cared for—every step of the way.

My own Aesthetic and Wellness Journey

I have always known I wanted to be a physician, and I truly love my work as an emergency medicine physician. However, after six years and two residencies, I found myself burned out, chronically fatigued, frequently sick, and physically far from my best. That experience led me back to my training in complementary and integrative medicine and prompted me to reconnect with the practices, interests, and passions that once made me feel energized and confident.


As part of that journey, I returned to traveling and sought out global perspectives on aesthetics, including time spent in Korea learning about advanced techniques and emerging trends through my own treatments and education. I also began a structured weight-management program, gaining a personal understanding of the physical and emotional challenges that can accompany weight changes and metabolic health.


Through my own wellness and aesthetic journey, I discovered a deeper passion for helping others feel like themselves again—or simply enhance what is already there. I believe aesthetics and wellness are deeply personal and should always be approached with care, intention, and medical guidance. My goal is to help patients align how they feel on the inside with how they see themselves on the outside, supporting confidence, balance, and overall well-being.
