The Mother Tree Approach
to Somatic Healing
Forest ecologist Suzanne Simard's life work has centered around what she calls the Mother Tree -
The oldest, largest tree in the forest whose ancient genetics and profound nurturing capacities keep the rest of the ecosystem alive and thriving.
I believe that this concept is mirrored archetypally in the human psyche, and that part of our work is discovering, growing, and habitually resourcing through our inner Mother Tree.
Our inner Mother Tree is that part of us which is effortlessly connected to love, compassion, and wisdom. It is both ancient and timeless, lying beneath and behind the pain, shame, and defenses we so often mistake ourselves to be. In fact, I believe it is the part of us which contains the nourishment that our pain, shame, and defenses need in order to heal and grow.
If this place feels unfamiliar or out of reach, you're not alone. Together, we'll welcome every part of you unconditionally with curiosity and care. We'll go slow, make space for authenticity, and move by your body's cues. The heart knows its way home, and when given ample space to explore, will find it.
Our work together may include:
Grounding + Resourcing
Building Body Awareness
Somatic Parts Work
Ancestral Connections
Meditation + Breathwork
Nervous System Tools + Education
Play + Embodiment Practices
Exploring + Integrating Altered States of Consciousness

Work with Amanda feels emergent. Neither of us know where a session will go when we sit down, and yet describing the unfolding magic that happens with her as organic seems to sell short her agency in it. To describe her intuition as telepathic is not hyperbole, and she marries it with a confidence to interject and redirect when our flow gets stuck or blocked, as well as a broad toolkit for re-immersing us in the embodied subconscious.
I started this work because I wanted to shed patterns that no longer serve me. It has become clear to me through our sessions that these patterns live in my body and not just my mind. Through our work, I have cultivated an internal sense of safety, softened old tensions, and built healing relationships with old wounds. As the tight places in my body soften, my sense of freedom to engage with the world as it is, unmediated by past wounds, grows and grows. The mind says, “I don’t know,” but when you’re quiet, you do know. Amanda brings you into that wisdom.

Working with Amanda has been so insightful. She is so graceful in her listening and in offering space and guidance for my own processing. Because of this, I've walked away from each of our sessions feeling like another little layer was uncovered; a layer that I can more deeply understand and feel compassion for. My journal is always filled with new insights and perspectives to contemplate after our session has ended. I am very grateful for her work.

I had the opportunity to engage in two wonderful experiences—both guided by Amanda and her Knowing. During both instances, she created a clear, beautiful energetic space that provided me with the warmth, safety, and love that I needed in order to Release. In both the individual session and the group breathwork session, I was able to break through blockages while releasing chunks of suppressed trauma and now, weeks later, a river flows through me. With the support of her and her gifts, I touched past, present, and future. Now, I have access to parts of myself that I never knew existed and I am learning how to take care of each of those parts—of me. Thanks to Amanda, doors have swung open, the river continues to flow, and my System thanks me dearly for it. Her work is true and it is necessary in the pursuit of Love. Thank you Amanda, you are magic!
