Upcoming Course
Whole-Hearted Cardiac Wellness
SPRING SESSION DATES are March 13th through April 17th, 2023 (Every Monday from 12pm-1pm EST)
Overview
Welcome to Whole-Hearted Cardiac Wellness where, together, we enrich cardiac health through a supportive and holistic approach. For years, research has shown that heart disease is the number one cause of death in both males and females. The medical field has made massive strides in the treatment and prevention of cardiac disease over the years. Treatment has been focused primarily on physical healing, which is a vital component to wellness. However, we cannot overlook the emotional and mental challenges that often go hand in hand with cardiac disease. The prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression are higher among those affected by heart disease. I believe that we can use our current health challenge as a catalyst for deep personal growth and healing.
Whole-Hearted Cardiac Wellness is an 6-week group program that is specifically targeted at promoting emotional and mental wellness which is an integral part of cardiac disease recovery. This course is inspired by countless patients that I have personally cared for over the years that have shared their struggles with me, even after showing physical improvement. This is because the emotional and mental component was left unaddressed, and these patients are still struggling with stress and unhealthy coping skills- not because they want to but because they don’t know another way.
This 8-week program will help you develop healthy skills to not only manage stress but to discover the root of your stress and ways to work with it using mindfulness and self-compassion. Often, we may feel alone in our struggles and that is why a group setting is so important. We need each other to learn, connect and remember our sense of belonging. We cannot do this work alone and a supportive group environment is an integral part of this program.

Testimonials
It has been extremely rewarding to work with Amanda as my guide and teacher to practice mindfulness. She is filled with warmth, encouragement and amazing strength, and challenges me to dive deep into myself to heal my heart. Amanda has taught me a whole new way to approach my relationship with myself, and those in my life, helping me to find balance, grounding, and love within me every day and especially during periods of anxiety or sadness. She helps me empower myself to live a better life through stillness and being centered. I’m learning how to follow my joy! With much gratitude.
As a friend, teacher, and colleague, Amanda continuously generates wisdom and abundance in my life. Amanda’s commitment to her own practice and service to the growth and healing of others comes through in every interaction, whether one-on-one or teaching a room of executives. I could not have more trust in and gratitude for what she offers in each and every moment. Thank you for your integrity and humility, and all of the light you bring to this world Amanda.
Amanda is an incredible teacher and coach. I have taken her MBSR and parenting classes as well as workshops. She is compassionate and a great listener. She is also very competent on guiding people to find answers from within to whatever they might be experiencing. By being her student and friend, I am able to witness her personal growth, her dedication to mindfulness, and commitment to help others grow, better themselves and live a life full of purpose and joy.
P.S. I love her to the moon and back.
