"Amanda is one of those rare people who truly change lives. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and to have experienced the way she has transformed my life."

-H.R.

 "Amanda is a rare amalgam of profound depth in her work, and simple joy. I feel she is an intermediary between the ever dominant mind and the runaway heart emotions--by tapping into, acknowledging, and reading our bodies, the somatic presence that we so often ignore and deny. I am so grateful for her commitment to the path."

-Mary Li

  "Thank you for helping me to bravely shine the light into my own darkness so I can better understand and shine my light into the darkness around us. They say desperate times call for desperate measures, but I think they call for heroic acts of love, starting with ourselves. Gracias querida amiga".

-Annie Hughes

  "Our last session was a miracle. Thank you!"  

  -T.H.

  “Every session is a whole new experience. I feel so different! Like a whole piece. If you need healing or just want to receive a blessing... Amanda is soft, gentle, intuitive, loving and powerful... I recommend her without reservation.” 

-Silvia Cadena ​

  “Thank you, thank you, thank you! I came with a great weight on my heart and now I feel like new, I believe in myself, and all I feel is pure love. Your gift is a present to those of us who receive it.”

 “When I started coaching with Phoenix, I was literally a mess. I was full of unwanted feelings that scared me. Very often I felt empty and I couldn’t imagine it changing. I had tried so much – from therapies to books and online workshops, but my problems kept coming back. Phoenix and her work changed my life. Accepting and embracing all parts of me was the start of a process that led to changes I could have never imagined. I am much more courageous, can stand up to people, am more capable to set boundaries, and find love and support in myself. Now I believe in my ability to change!"

—Nadine A. S.

  “With Phoenix’s support, so much deep healing has emerged. I am witnessing my own metamorphosis into the person I’ve always wanted to be. Through Phoenix’s gentle and intuitive guidance, I am mothering my inner child in ways I always desired: to be held, seen and heard. Phoenix invites me into the dark places of my psyche. I have come to really enjoy her process of integrating those parts of myself I would normally rather avoid. As I embrace what I feared the most, gems are to be found, and a deeper wisdom shows up.”

– Tracy Griffiths

  “I have done coaching and therapy in the past, but things changed only temporarily and on the surface. Then I met Phoenix who guided me to transform at the core. That changed everything. If someone had told me 6 months ago that I would be where I am now, I would have said: “Yeah, right! That is a nice dream, but it won’t happen.” I still can’t believe that with Phoenix that dream came true.”

—F.J. (escritora, educadora)

  “This is way deeper than I ever expected. I thought to find just some solutions to some of my problems. Instead, I went through a transformation on a deep level. I moved through layers of myself I didn’t know existed. I found that place inside of me where I have my own wisdom and insight. I learned how to heal my past and how to create my own future. Her multicultural approach helped me to find my own identity, my own roots. I can now stand strong in who I am.”

—Elizabeth Moore

  "Phoenix is such a gifted cranial sacral therapist. The first time we did a session, I could literally feel the energy in my body shifting and adjusting. It was both calming and balancing. I highly recomend!"

—Kirsten McCormick

  “I have truly enjoyed and appreciated exploring my life’s journey with Phoenix. Whenever I am with her, I feel heard, and understood. Phoenix’s calm, intuitive and positive nature creates in me a sense that the answers I am seeking are all within me: I just need to allow life to unfold, to trust myself and to surrender to it. I appreciate her exercises and very poignant questions. Attending Phoenix’s sessions have given me confidence to move to the next phase in my life’s journey… Retirement!”

—Jacqueline Peters-Mines, Educadora.

  "When I met Amanda and learned that she was a therapist, I immediately felt a deep sense of trust and openness to share what I was going through at that moment. Instantly, I knew I wanted to be her patient. I had been struggling with a physical and emotional condition for several years, and her CranioSacral therapy technique literally changed my life and the way I related to my body and emotions. I began to heal from the deepest layers, addressing emotional wounds from long ago—wounds I wasn’t even aware of, yet they were affecting my physical body. Through this process, I discovered and started to connect with the body’s inner wisdom. When I learned that she was starting a training course, I didn’t hesitate to take it. Through the training, I continued my healing journey while also gaining the knowledge to share the gift of healing by listening to the inner wisdom of the body. For me, this course was an affirmation of my path toward becoming a therapist, as well as an opportunity for deep personal growth and healing. It is undoubtedly a lifelong journey—one that allows you to deepen your understanding of human nature while gaining a powerful tool to contribute to the healing of humanity. Having Amanda as a teacher is an invaluable gift, and continuing on this path of self-discovery while offering a service of healing to the world is truly extraordinary."

  -Limay-co Castilla Nilson

  "My experience with the CranioSacral and SomatoEmotional Therapy course has been truly inspiring. I have studied all my life—I hold diplomas in nutrition, homeopathy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care, in addition to a degree in Industrial Biochemical Engineering and a master’s in Educational Technology. However, I can confidently say that all of that pales in comparison to CranioSacral Therapy. This therapy makes me feel fulfilled. When I look at all the possibilities that stem from this approach, I feel happy. I love helping my patients, the majority of whom are women. They leave their sessions feeling joyful, and instead of feeling tired, I am filled with immense satisfaction. The somato-emotional aspect of this therapy is absolutely incredible; it offers so many tools to help people. I have witnessed this both with my clients and through the sessions I have personally received, which have been a great blessing. By far, this has been one of the best decisions of my life. I am certain that I want to dedicate the rest of my life to this work. I do want to keep studying, but now I know that everything I learn will be to deepen my knowledge of this therapy because I want to help more and more people. Simply fantastic."
