THE SHAPE OF THE WORK

From forest walk to medicine ceremony.

Every container is shaped in response to you — but there is a rhythm to how this work unfolds. Most journeys move over three month timeline, beginning with the forest walk and moving through preparation, ceremony, and integration. We meet every one to two weeks, with the cadence softening or deepening as your system asks. Some people move through this arc once. Others return for a second or third passage as the work continues to open.

BEGIN WITH A FOREST WALK
01
The forest walk
Our first meeting. We walk, attune, and listen for resonance together.
02
Preparation
Sessions that build safety, clarity, and intention before ceremony.
03
Ceremony
Held with presence, reverence, and care. Always co-held.
04
Integration
Where the work becomes lived — insight becomes embodiment.

Ceremony is always co-held.

There is always a second trained practitioner in the field with us — for safety, for depth, for the integrity of the witnessing. You will know who is co-holding the space before we arrive at ceremony day.

MODALITIES

What I weave into the field

These are not separate offerings. They are woven together in response to what each person's system is asking for — following what is alive in the moment, with intention and care.

01
Somatic inquiry
Listening through the body — allowing what is held to be met, felt, and moved.
02
Sound & frequency
Tuning forks, voice, and vibrational resonance as pathways to coherence within the bio-field.
03
Somatic IFS & EMDR
Body-centred approaches to parts work and trauma processing, held with care and presence.
04
Energy work
Intuitive, body-led attunement and clearing within the energetic field.
05
Sacred earth medicine
Ceremony held in reverence, within the lineage of plant and fungal traditions.
06
Nature immersion
The forest as regulator, integrator, and teacher — not backdrop.
07
Integration support
Helping you embody your transformation and live authentically from that place of truth.

  • In every healing modality Amanda held all parts of me with love, understanding and deep reverence — which allowed me to heal deeply and go back to who I was always meant to be."

  • "With Amanda, you begin to strip it all away, soften into stillness, and listen — until she gently guides you back home to yourself."

THE CEREMONY CONTAINER

Ceremony, as I hold it, is offered within a ceremonial and spiritual framework — in the lineage of plant and fungal medicines long held by Indigenous and Earth-based traditions. It is not clinical treatment. It is not a recreational experience. It is a path of transformational healing, held with reverence, safety and care.

Ceremony is never where we begin. We arrive there — after relationship, after preparation, after your system has felt the steadiness of this container. Every participant moves through a discovery walk, a preparation phase, ceremony, and integration support. Nothing is rushed.

Before we move toward ceremony, we speak honestly about your physical health, mental health history, current medications, and readiness. Some histories are not compatible with this work, and I will tell you clearly if this is not the right path, or the right time. A detailed working agreement — outlining scope, roles, and the legal and ethical framework — is shared and signed before anything begins.

This work is for those moving with intention, not urgency. I do not hold this work for those in acute crisis or with contraindicating medical or psychiatric conditions. If that is where you are, I will gently point you toward what may serve you better.

How I work with sacred earth medicines

BEGIN WITH A FOREST WALK
Safety through relationship
Safety is not rushed here. It is built — through presence, consistency, and attunement. Lasting change does not come from intensity. It comes from enough safety to let go.
Sovereignty & inner intelligence
Your body holds its own wisdom. Your inner intelligence leads. I am here to witness and hold the field — but you remain in relationship with your own pace and what is ready to emerge.
The forest as co-facilitator
The forest is not a backdrop. It is part of the medicine. The mycelial networks beneath us, the bilateral rhythm of walking, the living presence of the natural world — all of it supports regulation and coherence.
Integration as sacred
Ceremony is not the end. It is the beautiful beginning. Integration is where the work becomes lived — where insight becomes embodiment, and change becomes anchored.
Designed, not prescribed
There is no fixed formula. Before ceremony, we listen. We attune. We co-create a container that holds you fully — somatic inquiry, sound, bodywork, woven in response to what is alive.

Principles that guide this work

MY APPROACH

INVESTMENT

01
Forest walk
$222
A 1.5–2 hour forest-based meeting. A resonance check and doorway into the work — a way for us to meet, walk, listen, and feel whether deeper work is aligned.
Presence & attunement Bilateral walking Light somatic inquiry Applies toward an Integration Journey if you continue
02
Standalone session
$444
A 2–3 hour non-ceremonial session. For someone already in resonance with the work who wants a focused session without entering a full journey container. The form follows what's alive in the moment.
Somatic inquiry Sound & frequency Energy work & intuitive bodywork Integration support
03
Medicine journey
$4,000
A full deep-dive container for those ready to move through preparation, ceremony, and integration. Amanda is the primary practitioner; a second trained practitioner supports the field.
Design & intake call Multiple preparation and integration sessions (includes somatic & sound) Full ceremony day Integration support Co-held with a trained second practitioner

Our energetic exchange

Payment plans are available. If the investment is a stretch and you feel a real pull toward this work, please reach out — we'll find what works.

A small number of sliding scale options and complimentary spots are held each season for those for whom even a payment plan is out of reach. If cost is a genuine barrier and you feel a real pull toward this work, reach out with a short note about your situation. There is no application to perfect. A few honest sentences are enough.
