About the Author

Amanda, or Mandy as she’s affectionately known by her clients, guides mothers on a path from guilt to growth. Her methods make visible the invisible loads and expectations that set mothers up to feel as though they’ve failed.

Instead of perpetuating myths that the role of mother will neatly integrate into life without changing us, Mandy’s signature programs embrace matrescence and the mother-child relationship as opportunities for profound personal and professional growth.

Mandy has a background in psychology and sociology. She completed her thesis on the regulation of pregnant women’s bodies and has extensive experience working with families, young people, and mothers.
Mandy lives in the Whitsunday with her family.
