Hi! I'm Amanda

VALUES STATEMENT

I draw from wisdom that sits at the intersection of spirit and science.

For any practice to be sustainable, it must be rooted in collective liberation and it must strive to interrogate and dismantle the structures that contribute to oppression. In this way, I’m always striving to hold a framework that is anti-racist, trauma informed,  inclusive of the environment-as-stakeholder, and willing to sit objectively and in evolutionary non-judgement.

My career started in a high-profile sales job where I skyrocketed from recent college grad to managing a multi-million dollar territory in less than a year. I leapfrogged from sales to tech, loving the fast pace and constant novelty and began taking leadership roles to build companies from practically nothing to millions in revenue. But that ‘move fast and break things’ ethos came with a cost. I was living in dissonance, perpetuating trauma and badly ignoring my body on all levels. That lifestyle required a huge amount of energy and I was moving way past the point of burnout.

 

As a leader, I saw harmful cycles and bad habits in the leadership modeled around me. My body was feeling the toll, as well as my heart, my mind, and my relationships. It was my body's wisdom that led me to a more regenerative way of living. 

 

I began studying alternative paradigms like regenerative leadership & feminist business principles, indigenous movements, mythology, polyvagal theory, neuroscience, and nonviolent communication. That ground up transformation shifted the way I cared for myself and others and how I approached my work. Life became sustainable again. 

I brought these principles into my work, and to the teams I managed and soon people were sending their employees to me for mentorship. Mentorship became coaching and my practice blossomed. I love seeing people find their most whole, authentic, regenerative way of living. And that feels radical. And I want all that for you.
