Offerings
Counseling
Amanda offers individual therapy options catered to your unique needs. Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available. For in-person preference, sessions are held either in the office or outdoors, client's choice. Amanda works in collaboration with clients, and aims to provide a safe space as this work is deeply personal and vulnerability runs high. If more of a coaching style is preferred, which focuses more on immediate solutions and desired lifestyle changes, versus a focus on healing deeper issues such as past traumas or family of origin issues, this is also available. Please ask if you’re unsure or if you would like to schedule a brief phone consultation to decide which method of renewal is best for you. Contact Amanda to schedule your free 15-20 minute phone consultation.
Spirituality in Nature Group/SING
For 10 months out of the year, Amanda co-facilitates a monthly group that brings people together in a tranquil space to connect with the physical world, explore one’s inner self, and find solace in spirituality thru nature. This gathering is open to all and is offered free of charge, donations only, and meets in various parks and ecosystems in the local region. To learn more or to register to attend an upcoming SING event, please visit Shakti in the Mountains.
Guided Nature Walks
As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Amanda leads 2 ½ - 3 hour guided walks in nature throughout different locales in the region from Spring thru Fall. This outdoor experience is highly inspired by the Japanese practice of “shinrin-yoku,” also known as forest bathing. These forest therapy or nature connection walks often bring a sense of relief from the stresses of everyday life, connect people deeper with nature, and improve physical, mental, and emotional states of health. This is an experience where you will be moving at nature’s pace and will be invited to engage with nature thru your senses and imagination, have opportunities for individual sharing, and will conclude with a tea sharing circle. Please contact Amanda for more information or to schedule a walk.
Retreats and Workshops
Amanda is available for workshops and retreats to explore deeper themes of renewal and healing, from a mindfulness-based approach within a nature-based environment. Please inquire about these possibilities and be on the lookout for upcoming events.
