vIVid began in June of 2022 when Amanda opened up vIVid Mobile IV with a passion for building relationships and helping others feel their best. In December of 2023, Amanda and Kristen sat down for coffee, sharing a vision and passion for wellness, along with a personal connection— both having a family history of cancer. Together, they knew they wanted to help more people as they realized there was a greater need to assist more individuals feel and live their best, creating longevity and happiness for years to come. Together, they envisioned a space of fulfillment where people could feel truly at ease while taking charge of their health and building confidence in themselves. The passion they both share for connecting with others and empowering individuals in their health, wellness, and self-care journey inspired the creation of vIVid Wellness + Aesthetics Lounge, founded in March of 2023.
Amanda started her Nursing career in 2010, Amanda continued to further her education with certifications in Ozone therapy and Functional Medicine, and an upcoming Doctorate in Holistic and Integrative Medicine. Her passion lies in being able to provide accessible holistic wellness options, while building trusting and lasting relationships with each client who walks through the vIVid doors.

My name is Dr. Chris Hufford. I was born with a deep drive to serve others in meaningful ways, guided by my core values of faith, family, integrity, and service without expectation. After high school, I joined the United States Army, where I trained and served as an airborne medic and completed a tour in Iraq. In that high-pressure environment, I cared for hundreds of individuals in urgent and life-threatening situations, and it was there that I discovered my true passion for helping people heal. Following my military service, I pursued my education at Grand View University, where I graduated with honors, earning a Bachelor of Arts in biology and biochemistry with a minor in chemistry.
During my undergraduate time, I was dealing with a lingering airborne injury that had not responded to traditional approaches. Seeking answers led me to a chiropractor who not only resolved my injury but transformed my overall health by restoring proper nervous system function. That experience profoundly changed the trajectory of my life and inspired me to dedicate myself to the profession that gave me my life back and my health back.
I went on to attend Life Chiropractic College West, where I again graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic, with honors. I returned to Iowa with a mission to serve the community I knew best. Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of individuals improve their health through chiropractic care. My approach goes beyond chiropractic care, as I consistently guide patients on lifestyle strategies they can implement outside the office to support long-term healing.
While in chiropractic school, I came to understand that while the nervous system is the foundation of health, the growing burden of modern stressors and toxins requires a more comprehensive approach. This realization led me to immerse myself in functional medicine, studying biochemical pathways, blood chemistry, and the interconnectedness of body systems. I have studied and researched through hundreds of hours of advanced coursework, seminars, and continuing education.
That dedication has translated into thousands of hours of real-world clinical experience focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic conditions. I have developed a particular passion for working with complex and challenging cases, where a deeper, more personalized approach is required to restore function and vitality. Whether, I give you a tip to improve your lifestyle in a chiropractic visit, or spend hours on your chronic case, I am dedicated and passionate about working with you to find answers.
Outside of the clinic, I value time with my nieces and nephew, enjoy being outdoors, being on my road bike, gardening, golf, and bowling. I stay closely connected to my community by officiating high school football and volunteering for and with my church. I also love smoking briskets and ribs and keeping my shoes highly polished. I am honored and excited to bring this experience, perspective, and commitment to service to the vIVid community.
I’ve always felt fortunate to know my purpose early in life. At nine years old, while helping care for my grandfather during his cancer treatment, I knew I wanted to become a nurse. I began working in healthcare at age fifteen as a CNA, became an RN in 2004, and later advanced my training as an ARNP in 2010.
I’ve spent more than twenty years caring for patients with chronic and complex conditions, and that work has shaped my passion for root‑cause, individualized care. I believe every person has a unique story and deserves a plan that supports healing, reduces inflammation, and improves long‑term quality of life. My goal is to walk beside patients, help them feel and function their best, and support healthy aging through compassionate, evidence‑based guidance. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family—my husband, our two children, and our dog—along with being outdoors, cooking, watching sports, and spending time with friends.
