WHO WE ARE

Anchor Wellness & Aesthetics did not get its name due to its coastal location. Rather, it was born out of a belief that true health and wellness come from the connection between an individual's mind, body, and spirit. Jessica and Amanda remained anchored in faith stepping out on their own to create a welcoming and unique platform for the betterment of our community. Here at Anchor, we tailor our treatments to be unique to the individual. No matter how your goals for youthful rejuvenation, performance enhancement, immune boosting, or just relaxation may change over time, let Anchor be the foundation to see you through it all.

Our Team

Amanda Baker PA-C

Amanda Baker is a physician assistant of over 16 years, she was the honor graduate student for the 2007 PA class at East Carolina University.  Having practiced in various areas of medicine ranging from emergency medicine to home care visits, Amanda found her passion in aesthetic medicine about 5 years ago.  Aesthetics has allowed Amanda to use her warm nature, versatile medical knowledge and attention to detail to help people feel & look their best...leaving them walking out the door with a smile.  She says aesthetic medicine is exciting, ever-changing and not like work at all. She looks forward to continuing to expand her knowledge and skill set as the industry advances and to building strong relationships with her patients.

In her downtime, Amanda enjoys spending time with her amazing yet chaotic family of 5.  She and her husband, Robert, have three active children and the best rescue dog.  She enjoys spending her free time reading, boating to the islands and combing for seashells.

Jessica Barnett FNP-C

Jessica moved to Hampstead in August 2021 from Arizona. She graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The University of Arizona. She graduated with high honors from The University of Phoenix Family Nurse Practitioner program in November 2022. In her twenty years in the medical field, Jessica worked 18 years for Phoenix Children's Hospital in all areas, including Emergency Room, Intensive Care, and outpatient surgery. She also found her passion for in-home care by doing mobile IVs while completing her FNP program and the importance of this holistic approach to health. She has been working in both aesthetics and in-home care since finishing her FNP program.

In late 2020 Jessica's daughter became extremely ill with a debilitating disorder called POTS. The excessive heat living in Arizona only exacerbated her daughter's symptoms, so her family followed their dream of relocating to the coast and settled in Hampstead. Jessica's daughter also completed an elective plastic surgery in 2020, which drastically improved her self-esteem and quality of life from a skin issue she was born with. Both of these personal events translated into her current professional goals which are to make a difference in her patients' lives with aesthetic treatments and utilize an integrative approach to patient treatments to maintain wellness and overall well-being. She is excited to bring two decades of vast experience in the medical field to the people of Hampstead.

When not at Anchor, Jessica can often be found enjoying the coastal life we all so enjoy here, with her husband, two children, and two Goldendoodles out on their boat or at the beach.
