Amanda Ree is dedicated to enhancing the wellness of both humans and animals. Her profound connection to the natural world began with a remarkable rescue by her family dog when she was just three years old. She grew up immersed in the nurturing environment of her family's Lake Tahoe pet store.
 
Amanda's spiritual journey took root in 2001 at the Sivananda Yoga Centers, where she achieved her 500-hour yoga teaching certification. In 2006, she embarked on a transformative mentorship with the renowned Dr. Deepak Chopra, enriching her knowledge of conscious living and holistic health over the next 15 years.
 
Fueled by her unwavering devotion to both dogs and spirituality, Amanda established Sama Dog Wellbeing in 2016. Sama Dog offers education, products, and services, providing canine companions with Ayurveda-inspired care to achieve whole-being balance.
 
As an ordained animal chaplain, an instructor of meditation and Ayurveda, and a Flower Essence practitioner, Amanda combines diverse healing modalities to nurture the physical, emotional, and energetic well-being of animals and humans alike.
