Welcome loves, I’m Amanda 

As an intimacy coach and somatic practitioner, I teach individuals and couples the skills needed to create a life that is a source of pleasure and fulfillment.  I do that by taking you through a proven process – that weaves together Somatic Experiencing therapy, practical intimacy coaching and Somatic Sex Education,  tailored to your needs, step-by-step. 

First, I guide you to look directly underneath difficult life situations - the symptoms you are experiencing - to discover and transform distress at the source. 

Then, using somatic - meaning body-based - experiences and practices you will tap into your body’s innate intelligence and learn how to build authentic intimacy to connect with yourself and others.

I’m an intimacy coach and mentor that connects you to the depth of who you really are.  I have devoted my life to awakening the highest potential in myself and others.  My work is grounded in mindfulness, embodiment teachings and Somatic Sex Education.  I support my clients through inquiry and somatic healing practices to go beyond their limits in all areas of life through a direct experience of themselves as limitless and powerful creators of their highest path.

For more than a decade, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and couples, in-person and online, to nurture their highest potential through love. 

The Sacred Invitation

Intimacy Coaching In-Person and Online

In my work, I invite you to look directly underneath difficult life situations - the symptoms you are experiencing - to discover and transform distress at the source. 

Your symptoms might include:

• Sexual challenges such as - anorgasmia, low/high libido, decreased arousal, early ejaculation, erectile dysfunction

• Mis-matched desire with your partner 

• Fear of intimacy

• Porn addiction

• Lack of confidence

• Unfulfilling relationships

• Physical or emotional numbness

• Painful sex

• Difficulty dating after a breakup/divorce

• Depression/anxiety

• Intimacy anxiety

• Always choosing partners that are not a match for you

• Feeling like you’re just going through the motions of life

• Not able to find the right partner 

These experiences are not the problem, they are result of something deeper that is asking for your attention.

And the more we try to fix these symptom with tips, techniques and bandaids, (or worse, numbing ourselves with distractions such as over-working, Netflix, over-eating or mindless scrolling), the more disempowered we will become, because symptoms are only what presents on the surface.  We are asked to go within.

Symptoms offer an opportunity for healing at the source – the imprints, long-held patterns of behavior, limiting beliefs – all the ways your being is contracted on the subconscious level. 

 This work is an invitation into that which you might not even be able to see yet - that’s how deep our programming is.

 Symptoms call us into profound transformation.  To know and feel ourselves perhaps more than we ever have before.  I believe this is why I most often hear from my clients:

 “I am getting what I actually need, not what I thought I wanted.”

While I hold a certification in Somatic Sex Education, my approach encapsulates much more than that. I love walking with you as your awaken your life affirming awareness and goodness within…

The essence of who you really are.

No matter how disconnected you may have become from yourself, your partner or the world, it is possible to experience the life you’ve dreamed of and I am here to guide and inspire.

Using mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Sex Education practices and you will tap into your body’s innate intelligence and learn how to build authentic intimacy to connect with yourself and others.

I guide you towards clarity…I teach you how to become more fully present…

I invite you to practice being completely real… I show you how to connect…

And I ask you to let your body and heart lead.

This is what creates intimacy.

Ready to Get Started?

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.

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.

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.

We all begin as a bundle of bones lost somewhere in a desert, a dismantled skeleton that lies under the sand. It is our work to recover the parts. It is a painstaking process best done when the shadows are just right, for it takes much looking…for - the indestructible life force, the bones.
