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.
Amanda is an exceptional facilitator. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the practice of MBSR, she sets a tone in each class of welcome -ness, safety and inclusiveness. She shares her own personal experiences and helps others to openly share theirs, including doubts, fears, difficulties and challenges that we all face.
Taking any class offered by Amanda is an offering to oneself of the potential for a life changing experience and a gift of self-care and validation.

Amanda is an amazing teacher and mentor! I have participated in several of her courses and I experienced her strong passion through her teachings. Following her guidelines and recommendations, I was able to change the dynamics in my home and create a strong connection with my three children. Amanda assisted me in effectively communicating with them in a way which I listened more before reacting. Because of her teachings I am able to hold space and create the family life I always envisioned. I am so thankful for all of the wisdom she has shared with me.
