Through nervous system healing, energetic clearing and mindset management, I help you come into alignment with what feels true and safe for you and your whole being.
Together we move from states of survival into thrival
The work I ask you to participate in is about building a deeper, more intimate relationship with yourself, through body, mind + soul.
This work is an excavation. We are not broken. We are buried. Buried underneath the beliefs, systems & habits of our family, our peers, and society. Things outside of our control like our socioeconomic status, who our parents are, where & how we grew up. These factors have and continue to influence us on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
By turning inward, we unearth all the patterns inside us that are affecting our ability to exist authentically in the world. We use curiosity, relationships, psychology, research and mindfulness to dig deeper into our core self.
Bringing you back into your body, and your spirit, drawing you closer to the thriving life that is your birthright.
Hi, I’m Amanda. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I’m a Clinical Somatic Therapist, Sound Practitioner and Emotional Doula.
I’ve always lived in the deep end. Emotions, relationships, habits- the invisible threads of our individual and collective experience fascinate me. While fascinated, for a long time I struggled to navigate these aspects of my life- it all felt pretty overwhelming. In my search for less stress, less drama, less anxiety- I found meditation, sound, somatics and most importantly, community. Sound gave me access to my inner landscape- a place that I now know we are not taught enough about. From there, the reality of how our bodies and somatic experience influence the way we show up became apparent to me. I create spaces where people can navigate and learn about their inner world in a non-judgmental, loving container. My goal is to give you resources to manage and bring vitality to your nervous system, mindset and life.
I believe our healing needs to include discussions and awareness about the oppressive power structures and conditioning that impact us all in unique ways. I’ve studied movement, somatic therapy and money management as it relates to trauma, am a certified Sound Therapist and Intuitive Somatic Energy Coach. Let’s connect and see how we can work together.

How we can work together
Somatic Healing Sessions
As unique as our individual experience, these sessions are tailored to what you need in the moment. If you are looking for space to be held and heard, or are wanting to dive deeper into patterns and habits that are no longer serving you- this is the space for that. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, seen and comfortable enough to explore your inner world and whatever may be there. Through a combination of somatic practices, sound therapy, mindset management and tarot/oracle cards, together we create a space where you are able to explore whats happening inside and find clarity, certainty and renewed energy. I hope to guide you deeper into your body where so much of our emotional and spiritual energy lives to transmute, or neutralize whatever may have its grip on you. I act as a compassionate, curious and non-biased mirror for you to move safely into your inner experience. These sessions are approx. 1 hour in length and available on sliding scale pricing.
Energetic Doula
This is a way to work longer term with me. Similar to a Doula who would support a birthing person through the portal of birth, we all need support through life. Someone to advocate for us, to hold space for our big emotions and tangled thoughts, someone to let us know that we can do it and help us find the tools and steps to get it done. Doulas support us through shifts, transitions, portals, and we all go through those all the time. We are living out cycles of birth, death and rebirth all the time and we all deserve and need support

Oracle Card Readings
Oracle cards are a divination tool used to give us perspective, insight and wisdom. I use oracle cards, keen observation skills and intuitive sense to bring you closer to truth in your life. Whether you are looking for general guidance or wanting to dive deeper into a specific area of your life, the cards can assist. I do not read in a predictive way, the cards will not tell you your future. The work is grounded in asking questions, staying present with what is, and moving with compassion and grace for yourself. New ways of thinking, new perspectives on cyclical issues and a renewed sense of assurance in your path are all things that can be offered to you in a reading.
Sound Baths & Meditation
Whether in a group or 1:1, I offer guided meditations and sound baths. The combination of meditation and sound take you into a unique state of relaxation and give you access to your subconscious state. Using crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums and more, Amanda takes you into a Theta brain state, a place where intuition, healing and creativity can all live. These are currently available bi-weekly on Zoom or in person for private group sessions. If you’ve never experienced a sound bath, you can watch a mini-video here.
Mindful Moment: A Sound Bath
A short sound bath moment at the beach. Take in the sounds of nature-the wind blowing, the waves crashing, the birds singing. Notice your breath as you watch.
"Let's start by saying that in general, it is not enough to say Amanda is gifted. She is a gift. I've worked with her professionally and personally on many occasions, both garnering a deep sense of trust in her work and equally an air of awe around her capabilities. Amanda takes sound bathing to a new level as it's paired with a deep empathy, intuition, and wisdom of being in the body.
When she read oracle cards for me, it was like she knew what I needed to hear before I could even know that in myself. For weeks and even months the resonance of her message stayed with me deeply and diligently as if her words wanted me to see through the message she had sent me. I'm deeply grateful for the time I get to spend working alongside Amanda and learning from her. She truly will revolutionize your inner landscape."
- Forest Greenwell, Owner at Fiends Co.
“I’ve attended sound baths, meditations and had a couple of oracle readings with Amanda and have had really great experiences with everything. The sound baths bring a deep, welcomed stillness that I don’t get from meditating on my own very often. I have found immense clarity in the oracle readings that give context to so much happening in my life over entire seasons. They are truly such a gift. I am very grateful for Amanda's work and kind-hearted, down to earth approach. You are in loving, supportive hands with Amanda every single time.
If you feel called to connect with Amanda, absolutely do it. “
