Hello, I’m Amanda and I have been caring for people’s health since 2002. My toolkit includes Shiatsu, Swedish, Sports Massage, Reiki, Freedom Fertility Formula Coaching, Battlefield Acupuncture and Menstrual cycle and Menopause mentoring. Whilst I treat many health issues, my specialist areas are women’s health, hormone balance, menstrual health issues, fertility, pregnancy and menopause. Over many years, my practice has focused on helping women and couples through their fertility journeys, whether that be unassisted or with IUI/IVF or ICSI. I understand the emotional impact a fertility challenge brings and there is unique trust with this work that can only come with personal and professional experience, so patient support both physically and emotionally is at the core of my work. If you become pregnant whilst under my care, I use a personalised approach to support you throughout your pregnancy including acupuncture, and shiatsu from your third trimester. I also offer couples shiatsu birth preparation workshops where I teach your birthing partner shiatsu acupressure techniques to use during your labour. This toolkit brings a proactive, inclusive approach for them to your birthing process, whilst offering you pain relief and in doing so encouraging a calm and positive birth experience. Another layer to my work is teaching menstrual cycle awareness to women during any life phase, but with a particular focus around menopause. This work can offered through different means of support; acupuncture, mentoring and group work through facilitating sacred women’s circles.
