I’ve been working with Amanda for a year and I’m so grateful for her. Amanda is an incredible listener and she also remembers everything. She is so wise and thoughtful. I have learned a lot about myself through our work together and I see how it’s enabling me to be a better person, parent, partner, and leader in my life.

Amanda has been wonderful to work with—she pretty much knew right away how to help me after the first session and it’s been wonderful to implement and see the change.
