She started her training with Elizabeth Whiter in 2015 thereby attaining the Diploma in Animal Healing in 2016 followed by the Diploma in Equine healing in 2017 and certificate in Equine Massage in 2018.

Amanda's journey with her own horse has been instrumental in helping her to understand horses and to treat them with love, respect and kindness and know that horses never do anything without a reason. Horses are always teaching us - we just have to listen and have an open heart.
Amanda has worked professionally since 2016 with clients' dogs, cats and horses as a Healer and also in a Volunteer capacity at Horseshoe and Handprints on their therapy horses used for children with Autism or anything on the neurological scale. These therapy horses carry their responsibilities very seriously and welcome the healing which can trigger a release so that they can let go of their emotional burdens. After qualifying in Equine Massage she was given the opportunity to work on rescue horses integrating Healing with Massage. This is a profound combination as many horses who have suffered abuse / trauma have not experienced touch in this way and it gives them a safe space to relax and learn to trust again.

Amanda has also had a very personal journey with dogs after having been attacked by a failed rescue sheepdog that badly lacerated her leg and she was later diagnosed with PTSD. This attack had lasting repercussions after numerous other incidents and made it very difficult to embrace working with dogs. After doing a lot of research into the different breeds and learning about canine behaviour she realised how important it is to be able to read a dog's body language in order to assess whether they were showing signs of stress, fear or aggression. This lead to her doing the Diploma in Canine Communication with the Centre of Excellence where she qualified in 2019.
