The Sanctuary

Empowered with a doctorate in Community Care & Counseling, I support women healing complex and family trauma—with legal and victim advocacy through divorce, custody, child support, codependency, and IPV. Whether you’re exiting abuse or mending past wounds, my mission is holistic, somatic education that restores peace and recovery. Choose in‑person bodywork with coaching or virtual holistic health, spirituality, and yoga therapy tailored to you. As a survivor, I specialize in faith‑rooted trauma recovery—biblical naturopathy, pastoral counseling, Christian shamanism, and Ayurveda—to calm your nervous system, set clean boundaries, and rebuild a life that feels safe.








NATUROPATHY

Biblical naturopathy uses scripture to guide spirituality and wellness—drawing on biblical wisdom about food, anointing oils, herbs, and creation’s healing. Think Ezekiel‑style nourishment, anointed oils used in worship, mineral and plant allies, and the “leaves for the healing of the nations” (Rev 22:2)—applied in grounded, trauma‑informed practice.

1/3 back massage + 1/3 reflexology + 1/3 reiki with lomi lomi, stones, sound/aromatherapy & flower essences for somatic trauma release.

BODYWORK

The following appointment types are available in-person only.  Somatic psychotherapy works with the theory that the body keeps the score of complex trauma. They are also available retreat style with any scheduled reiki training.

ADVOCACY

Paralegal support, OFP advocacy, crisis intervention, pastoral care, holistic trauma interventions, referrals, expert testimony, premium DV/SA consulting, court attendance, and community care for survivors of complex trauma (no legal advice).

You don’t just need woo in a crisis—you need someone in your corner for the paperwork, court dates, and calls, too.

The Expertise You Need To Move Your Healing Forward Fast.

complementary therapies

Reiki is healing energy that calms the nervous system—like acupuncture without needles. It clears imbalances in your energy body (similar to yoga/meditation effects) and can be done with or without light touch.

Reflexology is acupressure for the feet. Specific points correspond to organs in the body. It feels like a foot massage with longer holds on each point, using a small wooden hand tool.
Yoga therapy is a somatic healing modality for trauma, including postural yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Ayurveda (nutrition, lifestyle, herbs).

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 informed the AA/12‑step “higher power” approach. Dr. Amanda specializes in codependency, love addiction, betrayal trauma, and attachment trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this clinical work?

Wabasha County does not license massage therapy. My work is unlicensed complementary and alternative health (CAHP) offered as pastoral counseling, biblical naturopathy, and Christian yoga therapy/shamanic practice. It does not replace a chiropractor, physician, family law attorney, or licensed marriage and family therapist’s professional assessment and recommendations. This support is education‑forward and rooted in grounded research theory with a focus on root causes and practical education.

Do you take insurance?

I accept FSA/HSA, worker’s comp, and auto accident insurance, and can provide a superbill in Minnesota only. I am not in network with any insurance provider. Bodywork/massage is available during business hours only. Although I hold a doctorate in pastoral counseling and am an ordained minister, I am not licensed by the State of MN. Consult your physician before starting or stopping any supplement or medication.
