Amanda is an ICF-accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, certified hypnotherapist, certified trauma-informed positive psychology practitioner (in training), Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed, and a specialist in recovery from narcissistic abuse and codependency.

Amanda’s work is deeply personal. Growing up in a home where emotional safety and connection were missing—and experiencing relentless bullying at school—she internalised the belief that her needs were too much and that she had to earn love through people-pleasing and self-sacrifice. These early experiences laid the foundation for many of her adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, to mirror the same dynamics: unsafe, unbalanced, and exhausting.

Her own healing journey—through nervous system work, somatic practices, and deep self-inquiry—helped her understand why these patterns existed and how to shift them. This clarity and compassion became the gateway to lasting change. Today, she helps others do the same.

As a mother of two daughters, Amanda knows how our unhealed experiences can unconsciously shape the way we parent, and how understanding

the “why” behind both our own behaviours and our childrens' can transform the dynamics at home. When adults understand what drives behaviour—whether it’s anxiety, shame, stress, or guilt—we can respond rather than react, leading to calmer, more connected relationships.

Amanda brings this insight into her CPD/CE-accredited trauma-informed workshops for schools, parents, and organisations. Her trainings combine nervous system education, emotional literacy, and practical tools to support co-regulation and resilience. By understanding why

children (and adults) behave the way they do, we can create classrooms and homes that foster emotional safety, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.

Whether through 1-1 coaching or group workshops, Amanda’s mission is clear: to support others in healing from the past, reclaiming their sense of self, and creating lives—and environments—where both adults and children can truly thrive.
