Meet with Amanda
Personalised 1-1 sessions
Amanda believes that changing the stories we tell about ourselves can change everything — our sense of worth, our relationships, our peace of mind. That belief comes from her own life: bringing mindfulness into how she lives and works has transformed how she understands herself and moves through the world, and she wants to help others find that same shift.
Amanda offers one-off 1-1 sessions for anyone who wants focused time and attention on something specific — whether that's a piece of writing you're working on, or something else in life you'd like support to sit with. If you're working on a fictional story, memoir or piece of life writing, her mentoring session gives you detailed written feedback ahead of a Zoom call, so you can talk through your ideas and questions together.
If you're navigating a transition, a difficult relationship, a limiting belief, or simply want space to explore where you are right now, her Yoga Nidra session offers a live, personalised practice, followed by a recording and journalling prompts to take away with you.
For those ready to look more deeply at the relationship with their mother and the beliefs it has shaped, Rewriting the Story is an application-only series of three sessions.
