Empowered with a doctorate in Community Care & Counseling, I'm here for you as an advocate in your struggle with complex and family trauma: divorce, custody, child support and codependency. Whether you're caught in intimate partner violence or struggling with past trauma, I can help with somatic complementary and alternative medicine interventions:

  • Advocacy with court proceedings in family trauma
  • Relationship trauma coaching
  • Practical direction & referrals interfacing w/local community agencies for ongoing needs
  • Spiritual guidance for clearing karmic patterns with reiki and shamanic work
  • Nervous system regulation tools with bodywork: massage therapy, reiki, yoga therapy, and reflexology

With experience as a prosecutor's assistant and victim paralegal, my job is to fill in the gaps between the legal system, community services providers, and pastors to help you get back into your body and tuned into God's plan for your life. 

Yoga Therapy Coaching + Bodywork

You need more than woo-woo support during a hard time, you need an advocate in the practicals too.

The Expertise You Need To Move Your Healing Forward Fast.

complementary therapies

Reiki is healing energy to calm the nervous system. It's like acupuncture without the needles. It clears imbalances in your energy body like yoga and meditation. It can be done with or without light touch. Reflexology is like acupressure for the foot. Various points in the foot correspond to different organs in the body. It's essentially a foot massage with a longer hold on each point using a small wooden hand tool. 

Yoga therapy is a somatic healing modality including postural yoga, meditation, breathwork, and ayurveda [nutrition, lifestyle, herbs] for trauma. Coaching uses talk-based pastoral counseling and transpersonal psychology methods [shamanic & dreamwork, guided reiki meditation, mandalas, inner healing, and deliverance ministry, prophetic] to clarify life purpose and address relationship issues. Transpersonal psychology founded the AA/12-step approach to appealing to a higher power in recovery. Dr. Amanda specializes in codependency, love addiction, betrayal trauma, and attachment trauma.

She has a unique gift of gently asking the questions that help someone go deep inside themselves...a training with Amanda also helped lead me back to myself to heal on a spiritual level. I felt a sense of calm and clear direction."

I hadn't tried yoga before, but Amanda needed help with her case studies for yoga therapy. I was in dire knee pain to the point I almost couldn't walk. Amanda not only created some of these videos you see just for me, she worked with an entire care team to get real results."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this psychotherapy?

No. This work is a comprehensive supplemental psychoeducation and coaching designed to streamline relational trauma recovery. It is not meant to replace a family law attorney or marriage and family therapist's individual professional assessment and recommendation of your unique circumstances. It is, however, based on a grounded research theory with a strong emphasis on education.

Do you take insurance?

I take FSA/HSA, worker's comp, and auto accident insurance. I've also applied to be a provider with VA community care. I offer new client special of $20/off, a hero/senior discount of $10 off, and a free 10 minute reiki sample before or after your adjustment. Same day appointments often available. FSA/HSA available to locals only, but self-pay coaching available to virtual clients.
