Hello and thank you for Being Here.
I’ve found that at the highest levels of leadership, performance isn’t limited by strategy—it’s limited by mental capacity under pressure.
The executives and individuals that I work with are already highly capable. But behind the scenes, there is often severe cognitive load:
• High-stakes decision-making, all day
• Sustained pressure with little recovery time
• Mental fatigue that slowly reduces clarity, speed, presence and precision
* Feeling as though they aren’t reaching their full potential
And the list goes on.
It’s not burnout in the traditional sense but a gradual erosion of cognitive sharpness, quality execution and ultimately quality of life.
That gap is expensive.
I work with CEOs, Executives, Founders, Athletes, Artists and high functioning leaders to identify and remove subconscious performance blocks so they can think, decide, execute and live at a consistently higher level.
I offer private one-on-one sessions, group, team and corporate sessions, events and customized programming. This can be considered team building and is highly personalized to the team or groups goal and intention to achieve greater results and actually hit your desired target.
This is not coaching.
And it is not traditional therapy.
This is subconscious performance optimization—where the real bottlenecks in leadership and mental performance live.
Clients typically come to me when:
• They are highly successful, but feel their performance has plateaued
• Decision-making feels heavier or less instinctive than it should
• Mental fatigue is affecting clarity, presence, or execution
• They are experiencing confusion around the next step or a new direction
• They have been stuck in fight-flight-freeze or fawn nervous system response and reactivity
Through a private, high-level process, we:
• Identify hidden subconscious patterns affecting performance and quality of life
• Rewire stress and decision-response mechanisms- literally rewiring the brain, repatterining the nervous system and creating new neural pathways- it’s a combination of science and therapy in a deeply relaxed state with a holistic approach.
• Restore clarity, focus, and cognitive control under pressure
• Completely reset and restore the nervous system, endocrine system, energetic system and more.
Resulting In:
Clearer thinking. Better and Faster decisions. Higher trust in self. More Peace of mind. More consistent high-level execution—without added effort. Feeling Grounded, being PRESENT and living a better quality of life.
Most clients experience noticeable shifts within the first 1–2 sessions. It’s not magic- it’s science and although your first session yields results you will likely require more than one- full transparency.
Here is an interesting study on how effective hypnotherapy is:
EFFECTIVENESS OF HYPNOTHERAPY:
In comparison to psychotherapy and behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy can be more efficient and effective:
Psychotherapy: 38% recovery after 600 sessions
Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions
Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

Hypnotherapy is the oldest form of western psychotherapy. It’s a therapeutic technique that creates a states of focused intention, attention, deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility to promote behavioral changes. It is an evidence based approach. Dr. David Spiegel is a leading psychiatrist and professor at Standford University and describes hypnotherapy as “a state of highly focused attention and cognitive flexibility rather than a trance where you lose control”. In fact you stay in control the entire time. I believe it to be one of if not the most effective and efficient self mastery tools and therapy’s to accomplish your desired results and lasting change.
If you operate in a high-stakes environment and feel you are not feeling or performing at your full potential, there is usually a reason—and it can be resolved.
My background in production, storytelling, and performance gives me a strong ability to read people quickly, recognize behavioral patterns in real time, and operate in high-pressure environments where clarity and execution matter.
I’m a board certified holistic health practitioner, certified hypnotherapist and expert in my field. Other notable achievements include being a nutritionist, former wellness columnist, former NPC Figure and Fitness Competitor and Model. I have designed and curated hypnotherapy and wellness programs for high end luxury resorts along the coast of California.. I attended chiropractic school with hopes of pursuing regenerative sports medicine and working with a professional sports team. Life took me on a different path when I experienced a health crisis and woke up to the very real and harsh facts that trauma is stored in our cells and tissues, that we need to heal the emotional and mental health aspects of ourselves in order to properly take care of our physical vessels, function well and live a quality life. Life is all about growth and evolution- which requires tools-especially at this time. All of our nervous systems can benefit from support regardless of your goals and I believe hypnotherapy is the key to success.
I’m deeply passionate about holistic health, nervous system wellbeing, longevity, and optimizing the way we live — mentally, emotionally, physically, and energetically. My work emphasizes intentional lifestyle practices, low-toxicity living, and sustainable approaches to health that support both personal wellbeing and high performance.
I believe health is the foundation of everything — influencing our relationships, leadership, clarity, energy, resilience, and overall quality of life. Those who work with me know I value a deeply intentional approach to health, environment, nutrition, and overall wellbeing.
Outside of this arena of work, I’m also involved in film and storytelling as a writer, producer, comedian and actor.
I look forward to working with you and thank you for being here.

I had a relentless buzzing noise in my head, but Amanda worked her magic and made it disappear.
We dug deep into my subconscious, untangling the knots causing the buzzing. It was like she knew my mind better than I did. She really listens, getting to the root of the issue like a holistic detective.
Amanda equipped me with techniques to stay grounded, in control of outside influences such as breathing exercises, visualization techniques, and positive affirmations. These tools have become invaluable in helping me navigate life’s challenges and embrace my inner ‘main character’ energy.

A Transformative, Life-Shifting Experience with Amanda
I don’t even know where to begin—my session with Amanda was nothing short of life-changing.
I’ve worked with many practitioners over the years, but Amanda is on another level entirely. She carries a kind of calm, intuitive presence that makes you feel safe enough to finally let go of the things you didn’t even realize you were holding. Her approach blends spirituality, holistic healing, and hypnotherapy in a way that feels both grounded and otherworldly—like she’s guiding you back to a truth you forgot you knew.
During our session, she helped me access parts of myself I’d been disconnected from. There was clarity, release, and a sense of peace that I haven’t felt in years. It wasn’t just “a good session”—it was a true shift. I walked away lighter, more centered, and with a renewed trust in my own intuition.
If you are looking for someone who is genuinely gifted—someone who can help you break patterns, heal old wounds, and reconnect with your highest self—Amanda is the person you want beside you.
I’m deeply grateful for her work, her presence, and the impact this session has already had on my life. Truly transformative.
Amanda is my health ANGEL! She’s intuitive, accurate and one of the only people I truly trust with my health and guidance. She was my saving grace and helped me transition effortlessly through peri and post menopause.
