Meet Amanda — Seminar Leader for Real Life

My Story
I'm Amanda, a wife, mom of 4, and Marriage & Family Therapy grad student who spent years on the "hot mess express"—burnt out, exhausted, and disconnected from my own body. Learning about nervous system regulation and healing changed everything.
I know what it's like to feel like you're failing at everything that matters. I've been there—overwhelmed by motherhood, disconnected from my body, struggling in my marriage, and wondering if there was more to life than just surviving. That's why I'm passionate about helping other women find the same freedom and restoration I've experienced.
My Philosophy
I believe lasting change happens when we address both mental health and relationship health.
You can't heal your relationships if your body is in constant stress response. You can't think clearly or make good decisions when you're overwhelmed. That's why I take a holistic, integrated approach through Building Lasting Connections seminars that addresses all these areas together.

Who I Serve
I work with couples, parents, women's groups, and communities who want sustainable change: calmer homes, deeper connection, and practical skills that work in real life.
If you're tired of quick fixes and shame-based advice, if you're ready to do the work but need someone to walk alongside you, if you want tools that actually fit into your real life—you're in the right place.
