Meet Our Team
Amanda B. Nichols, R.Ph.
Pharmacist, Compounding Specialist, BHRT SpecialistAfter attending Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 1998. Then I headed west, spending 10 years in Colorado and Nevada working as a retail pharmacist and as the Pharmacy Director for St. Mary’s Health Plan. While in Lake Tahoe I had the honor of working for a world class pharmacist who inspired me to learn more about the Art of Compounding Medicine. This led me to specialize in Women’s Health, including Thyroid Issues, Cancer Prevention, and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
In 2008, I moved to lovely Black Mountain, NC and opened up a little Hometown Pharmacy. I love this town and enjoy following my parents’ example of serving my community every chance I get!
