Amanda Ree grew up at her family’s pet store in Lake Tahoe, and since being saved from drowning by the family dog when she was just 3 years old, Ree continues to hold an innate soul- connection to animals. Her spiritual studies started at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers, and in 2006, Ree began working and studying directly with Dr. Deepak Chopra. As a lead educator and vice president of the Chopra Center, Ree gleaned wisdom from many of the world’s top leaders and experts in health and wellbeing.
Ree's passion for dogs and living consciously merged with the creation of her company, Sama Dog: Wellbeing for Dogs + Their Humans. She has been a canine wellness practitioner and certified educator of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga since 2001. Through SamaDog.com, she offers education, products, and services for canine companions to find whole-being balance, or sama by teaching holistic care inspired by Ayurveda, that shows people how to engage themselves and their pets in a life of physical, spiritual, and environmental wellbeing.
