Welcome to A Pathway to Hope!
My name is Amanda. I am a Christian. I am a Mental Health & Wellness Coach, Relationship/Parent Coach, Life Coach & Grief/Trauma Coach. I enjoy teaching others about mindfulness, boundaries, communication, healthy relationships, stress management, self-love & God. I help others with personal and spiritual development.
I’ve been trained to provide guidance, emotional support, and encouragement. I help clients reach their personal goals, handle life challenges, and reach their fullest potential. I can provide faith-based coaching and prayer. I am a Christian and my coaching is focused on personal and spiritual development. I believe in a holistic approach with a combination of meditation and mindfulness. Along with scripture reading and prayers. Coaching interventions I use are Client Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Informed Care, and Mindfulness Stress Reduction.
Work experience: I have been in this field since 2011 & have had experience in working with survivors/victims of domestic violence (my biggest passion being a survivor myself) as well as addicts, homelessness, those struggling with grief, and with youth struggling with suicide and/or developmental disabilities.
Besides having this business, I also currently work as a life coach and prevention educator. I mainstream mental health issues & perform educational presentations to employers such as: drug free education, handling grief, anger management & de-escalation, and mindfulness. I am also a Certified Prevention Specialist with a specialty in child abuse prevention.
Fun Facts about me: I grew up in a small-town in a military household with both my biological parents taking in over 60 foster children and 6 foreign exchange students. I am a Christian but I do not force my beliefs on anyone. I believe in treating all people equally as Christ would. I help with a variety of people with different belief systems and backgrounds.
