About Your Guides, Amanda and Tom

We hold all of your desires, named and unnamed, as a pathway to experiencing your full human potential.  Desires lead us on a journey of discovering more of who we really are - through what we want - beyond what we think is possible.  Because of this, we believe that all desires are sacred for the aliveness they offer.

We bring our collective experience, education and expertise in Somatic Sex Education, massage therapy, meditation, pre and post-natal attachment dynamics, personality formation, wilderness guiding and leadership coaching & training to our containers.  We create spaces for all genders, sexual identities, and relationship structures that center safety, healing, somatic awareness, pleasure and integration.

We are parents, grandparents and devoted beloveds.  Our highest shared value is honesty for the illuminating aliveness it offers relationships, and our shared purpose is supporting others in life, love and intimacy.  Meeting midlife, we know that is never too late to find your beloved, even if you question, like we did, that desire becoming a reality.

About Our Immersive Retreat (In-Person)

Amanda works 1:1, with women and/or queer identified individuals. Together, they work with couples of any gender, identity and relationship structure. 

In this immersive experience, (which ranges from 4 hours to 2.5 days), we celebrate you, right where you are, yet make space for the realization that it is entirely possible to create what you desire - in life, love and intimacy. 

Let us say that again,

It is entirely possible to create what you desire.

If you want an embodied knowing of yourself beyond the limitations of your mind, culture and conditioning, this space is for you.

• Through slow and careful attunement, we build trust to co-create this immersion with you, not for you, which empowers your choice and voice in all areas of life.

• Through agreements clearly stated and lovingly tended to, your limits (and ours) are honored, so you can drop into a solid, sensitive, relational container that can hold all of you.

• Through clarifying & deepening intentions and desires for your life, we explore how you wish to infuse these intentions with tenderness, awareness and *pleasure.  

• Through grounded, somatic practices – of breath, movement, sound and (re)-orienting to your internal sense of pleasure - we nurture you as the creator of your desires, even if they seem out of reach.

• Through integration, you capture practical ways to move forward and realize what is most important to you.

*While we all experience pleasure in our own unique way, we acknowledge that we may also experience limits and apprehension to experiencing pleasure - in our own unique way.  While we hold pleasure as your birthright, we also honor any limitations that arise as valuable, intelligent and deserving. 

Our immersive retreats are held in beautiful curated spaces and range from 4 hours to 2.5 days, with pre- and follow-up calls to support your on-going integration.     

If you’d like to learn more, book a 30 minute complimentary consult. We look forward to connecting with you!

I think opening up the boundaries that most of us live in, constrain ourselves into, is so powerful and freeing.  It shifts the paradigm…

While Amanda and Tom have the skills and awareness to guide the group into safety, what makes it 'alive'…is what the group brings into the space.  It’s so beautifully real.  Still feeling grateful. — Scott

I cannot express enough gratitude for Amanda, who has been instrumental in my journey through grief after the heartbreaking loss of my wife to cancer. When I was numb and disconnected from my body, Amanda's expert use of somatic work helped me to reconnect and rediscover the capacity within myself to hold and process my grief. Her empathetic approach allowed her to witness my sorrow and pain in a truly seen way.

I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a compassionate and skilled human during challenging times. From our first appointment, she created an environment of safety and respect. Until seeing her, I was closed off and held my grief within myself, never allowing anyone to see.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Amanda and her work. It was one of the most significant investments into my well-being I have ever made, and I'm not being hyperbolic; working with Amanda was the fork in the road that set me down the path of fulfillment and alignment with my purpose in life. I have genuinely come to care for her as a human who has held and witnessed my deepest pain with love and tenderness. — CJ

I wasn’t sure what to expect but somewhere inside of me was a pull to meet with Amanda. Right away I knew that she was someone I could trust. Her voice and presence are both soothing and grounding. Meeting her felt like connecting to a wise friend. It’s been a few days now since the intensive and I still feel joy permeating my body. There was so much permission to be whatever and however I am.

Intellectually I knew about the importance of self acceptance but it’s a whole other feeling to experience it in the body. I feel more alive than I have in years and I keep getting new insights. The practice has even positively impacted my work. Amanda was particularly skilled at weaving in what I was talking about and wanting into what we did. She is deeply intuitive and connected to life. I am so grateful to her and the work she does. I highly recommend doing an intensive with Amanda, your life will never be the same. — Cheryl

If you are ready, really ready to do this work....you have found your way to the right practitioner, healer, guide.

Working with Amanda has shifted the life-long search, outside of myself, for self-love, security and a sense of home and redirected my focus so that I could begin to reclaim the lost connection with my body.

I could write pages about our work together but somehow, I feel that this is just enough to say for those who know that this work is next on their path of deep healing. — Michelle
