Dover, NH | 603-969-4604 | jupiterslabyrinth@gmail.com
Amanda (she/her/hers), is a self proclaimed herbal anarchist, green witch, practicing community herbalist & educator, Reiki IV Practitioner-Teacher (aka Master-Teacher) & Artist. Amanda teaches empowered health & healing with a focus on individualized care. While she honors & respects all cultures & traditions of herbalism & is always eager to learn from as many traditions as possible- at present her formal training background is predominantly traditional European-American/Western with highlights of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Amanda has been studying & practicing integrative herbalism & Reiki for over 20 years. Combining a broad spectrum of practices, Amanda includes ayurveda, astrology, traditional western herbal practices, Reiki, Spiritual Ritual & art to create a unique tool-box for each person she works with. Amanda not only provides lifelong tools, but also the support needed to have a happier, healthier life ~ mind, body and spirit.
A lover of art, Amanda also creates Plant Spirit Vessels as another way to invite & imbue the spirit of healing plants into people’s lives.
A Taurus sun, Virgo Ascendant & Pisces Moon, Amanda is a lover of all things food, nature and comfort. When Amanda’s not spending time with her daughter & husband, or seeing clients & teaching, you’ll be sure to find her out in her gardens, throwing pots, or in the woods scouting for wild medicinals
Amanda’s personal lineage is half Polish/Czech & half a blend of British-Irish-French/German, Spanish/Portuguese & Senegambian/ Guinean & Indigenous American.
Amanda makes continuous efforts to educate herself & recognize needed changes around decolonizing her practice. She strives to create a safe & loving space for all & be as inclusive, supportive, empathetic & compassionate as she can possibly be to all folks she works with in the BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+/traditionally & currently marginalized communities. Amanda raises funds & supports BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, Wildlife & Environmental Non-Profits whenever she is able throughout the year.
Amanda is physically located in the NH Seacoast area & shares her offerings in person & online.
