Offerings
Counseling
Amanda offers individual therapy options catered to your unique needs. Specializing in helping you change your life by changing the way you operate on a deeper level by way of Psycho-Spiritual Counseling. Learn more here to discover what this is and if you’re ready to take this next step in spiritual expansion and connection.
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.
Amanda works with you in a different way with Spiritual Life Coaching, or what she likes to call Spiritual Life Rewilding, a process that involves spiritual guidance for heart-centered living, which is not a form of therapy or counseling. Learn more here to discover if this is the best path for you.
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.
The Seekers
I’ve always considered myself a “seeker”-forever curious about the nature of reality and the world in general. And I love to “seek” alongside others who are just as curious about the universe and its many mysteries. You are personally invited to join me and other like-minded folks seeking community in a tranquil nature space to explore all things spiritual, mystical, and magical. As your guide during this hour of fellowship, I support us with readings on various topics, as well as discussion opportunities in which you can participate as much or as little as you wish, and a little forest bathing or drumming may be thrown in!
This gathering is open to all adults and meets one Saturday each month (weather permitting) at a local park. This is free to attend; however, donations are accepted which are distributed to local animal charities and shelters.
Just bring yourself, something to snack on if you like, a journal, water bottle, a yoga mat or blanket, or whatever you need to feel comfortable in the outdoors, and email me to register to let me know you’re coming and I will share with you all the details.
The Seekers welcome you!
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.
Forest Bathing Workshop
The Philosopher's House
April 19, 2025
1 - 2 pm
Please join Amanda in an informative and fun discussion on the practice of Forest Bathing, or as the Japanese call it, "Shinrin-yoku." Forest Bathing is a wonderful nature practice that's freely offered to us by Mother Earth herself. During this hour, you will be learning about how Forest Bathing came to be from its beginnings in Japan, how it has evolved into a relational type of nature therapy, and learn about its current impact on the world today.

The Illuminated Circle
Shakti in the Mountains
Every Wednesday morning in April
9 - 10 am
Join Amanda, every Wednesday morning during the month of April, as we gather as a heart-centered collective to lift up our troubles, along with our hopes, dreams, and intentions for peace and healing in a space of prayer and togetherness. Silent contemplation, or meditation, is as important a factor in spiritual transformation as is prayer, so for those that wish, silence is accepted and welcomed. Along with sharing spiritual literature, prayer (and meditative silence) will form the backbone of this weekly practice. Learn more here.
