HELPING YOU RISE

- NOT DESPITE YOUR STORY, BUT BECAUSE OF IT
MY STORY
Most people face one or two life-altering traumas.
I’ve endured an onslaught - my brother’s murder, my sister’s death, my father’s passing, a stroke (TIA), divorce, my child’s assault, and the daily reality of parenting children with complex diagnoses. Along with being a frontline responder to workplace suicides and violent threats.
Through NLP, mindset shifts, and relentless self-work, I turned pain into purpose - becoming a global mental health project leader, ambassador and keynote speaker.
I’ve learned that adversity and challenge doesn’t define you, resilience isn’t a one-time act, and true growth is possible, even easy!
If you’re facing your own battle, my story might just change how you see yours. Read more.
Hi, I’m Amanda!!
The journey hasn’t been simple, but it’s shaped something powerful.
Beyond the story above, there were more layers - challenges that tested every part of me: a life-threatening motorbike accident, multiple miscarriages, parenting neuro-divergent children through bullying, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, and supporting a partner through a deep identity crisis.
These moments didn’t just challenge my resilience - they clarified my purpose.
What started as survival became a lifelong mission: to understand the human mind, decode behaviour, and help others navigate complexity with clarity.
For over 17 years, I’ve studied and worked across Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Psychology, the Enneagram, Growth Mindset, and Mental Health strategy - not just academically, but from the trenches of real life and leadership.
Today, I don’t just speak about wellbeing - I create the conditions for it.
Whether you're an individual seeking clarity, a team navigating change, or a leader ready to create lasting impact - I help people and organisations make sense of what’s shaped them, shift what holds them back, and grow into what’s next.
Explore my keynotes, retreats, and resources. Let’s talk about how to turn challenge into clarity - and growth that actually sticks.

Amanda's keynotes are a powerful and deeply personal exploration of resilience and the journey from trauma to empowerment.
Amanda doesn't just talk about trauma; she embodies it, having navigated a staggering array of life's most challenging experiences.
But this isn't a story of victimhood.
It's a story of triumph.
Amanda offers a unique blend of vulnerability, expert knowledge (NLP, Enneagram, psychology), and practical strategies, not just to survive trauma, but to thrive.
Amanda begins by connecting with the audience on a deeply human level, acknowledging the shared experience of hardship.
She skilfully weaves her personal narrative, not as a laundry list of traumas, but as a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Amanda dismantles the hierarchy of suffering and validates the diverse ways trauma manifests, from the physical to the emotional, the obvious to the subtle, creating a sense of understanding and recognition in the audience.
But her keynote isn't just about understanding trauma; it's about overcoming it.
She transitions from shared experience to practical solutions, offering a three-part framework for healing and growth.
