Do you offer sessions online?

Initial sessions occur online via Zoom. Sessions inside of the Private Mentorship container are available in-person upon request.

Where is the in-person located?

Amanda’s sanctuary is located in Rochester, NY.  Once a Private Mentorship container is established, you will receive the address via email if you request sessions in-person.

Do you do offer this work off-site?

I am willing to travel to your location of choice with all of my travel expenses paid. This can be discussed more in an initial session.

How can I prepare for a session?

Enjoying a light meal prior and some fresh air is highly recommended.

Please do not smoke beforehand; the smell is very difficult for me.

Do not arrive under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol. If you require the usage of a psychoactive medicine of any kind, like marijuana or certain pain medications, please inform me of that prior to session, so that I am aware and can best support you.

How can I integrate after a session?

Taking some time to stay "unplugged" and tuned in to yourself is wise.  Much can be revealed in the time after a session, as your system is processing and integrating. Drinking plenty of water, having some fresh air and a nourishing meal are important.

What is the benefit of working together in a Private Mentorship container?

Through my professional experience, I have found that this work requires our time, focused attention and depth to discover our deeper nature. Over the years, I’ve noted that clients who work with me for six months or more experience new possibilities becoming realities. That’s what I’m all about.

Can you take insurance?

No, I do not accept insurance.

How can I book an initial session?

Please set up a session here.

Do you offer tantra sessions?

I do not. While my work is at times informed by tantric philosophy and teachings, it is not true tantra or neo-tantra as practiced currently in the west.
