Meet Amanda

​I’m a lifelong horsewoman, an Army veteran, mother of two wild-hearted boys, and the founder of Rewild with Amanda (RWA). This space is the evolution of my original practice, "Amanda's Healing Touch"—a shift that reflects the deepest truth of my work: True healing is found in the return to authentic, wild connection.

​My journey began with the traditional structure of horsemanship, from English lead-line shows and Western trail riding to years spent in emergency medicine and healthcare. But the quiet wisdom of horses eventually called me home, revealing a profound truth: Horses are not just animals we work with.

​They are mirrors. Messengers. And the greatest teachers of presence.

​After years of blending energy work and horsemanship, I realized the core of our struggle is often a disconnect from our own true nature—a loss of our innate "wildness" due to stress and expectation. This insight birthed the Rewild Method™.

​My work blends certified energy healing, intuitive communication, and trauma-informed horsemanship into a grounded, heart-centered approach. It's dedicated to helping both horses and humans step out of the stress cycle and into a space of clarity, softness, and regulated presence.

​While my passion centers around equine healing and partnership, I also offer sessions for companion animals and people—for those seeking deeper emotional insight, energetic release, and reconnection with self through subtle, powerful somatic shifts.

​Whether we’re in the round pen, the living room, or a quiet field, the goal remains: Connection that feels honest. Healing that holds. And the space to remember what authentic trust really means.

My Healing Journey: Reclaiming the Wild Heart

​My healing work is intuitive, layered, and always evolving—a blend of modalities and lived experience that meets each client exactly where they are. I draw from what I’ve learned, what I’ve lived through, and what I feel, because no two sessions are the same, and no two souls unfold the same way.

​Like many, my path wasn’t always clear. There were years where I felt deeply out of alignment, unsure how to break free from cycles that no longer served me. It wasn’t until a spiritual awakening cracked me open that I began to uncover a truth: my intuitive gifts had always been there, just waiting for me to feel safe enough to use them.

​Through my own journey, I’ve reclaimed abilities once buried under trauma, and I continue to deepen them each day—through presence, practice, and trust. This work is my calling. It brings me deep joy and honor to walk beside others—helping them reconnect, soften, and return to themselves... often through the sacred, truthful presence of their horse or companion animal.

​Healing isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk with you.

​

My Approach: Healing, Horsemanship, and the Rewild Method™

​My entire approach is now unified under the Rewild Method™—a philosophy rooted in both ancient healing wisdom and practical, trauma-informed horsemanship.

​I believe that real healing happens when we listen deeply—not only to the animal’s body, but to their energy, emotions, and lived experiences. This requires a somatic approach that addresses the physical and energetic imprint of trauma.

​Whether your horse is showing physical tension, emotional stress, or challenging behavioral patterns, I work to identify the energetic root of the issue—not just the symptoms.

​I use a powerful blend of Reiki, sound healing, shamanic techniques, medical intuitive insight, and advanced equine body language to gently clear blocks, regulate the nervous system, and restore balance. But it’s not just about energy—it’s about relationship, grounded leadership, and the profound power of mutual trust.

Why This Work Matters: The Power of Co-Regulation

​Animals carry stories in their bodies—just like we do. And when we create safe, intentional space for those stories to be heard and healed, profound transformation happens.

​The shifts are often subtle: a softer eye, a deeper breath, a release of tension you didn't know was there. Other times, the change is dramatic: a breakthrough in behavior, a huge leap in performance, or a total revitalization of the bond you share.

​This isn't a one-size-fits-all method. This is a partnership. My role is to support you and your animal in finding greater somatic harmony, emotional clarity, and freedom.

​Because when your horse feels safe, seen, and supported... you do, too!

“Amanda was fantastic to work with and I saw an incredible transformation in my connection with my young mate in just one clinic! She was professional yet intuitive, shaping the session to fit everyone’s needs and met us all exactly where we were. I cannot recommend her enough!

— Chloe R. (Rewild Connections Heart to Heart Connections Clinic)

“Don’t walk, RUN to Amanda!!! This was the MOST AMAZING experience I have EVER FELT OR HAD! I have had severe trauma in the past with bad horse experiences and it took me from confident to sick to my stomach trying to get on any horse and ride. I don’t care if it was an old grandpa horse, I’d be sick!! I ran off of made up fear with any horse I’d try to ride.. what if this happens, what if that happens and most of the time would talk myself out of riding and say ok, another day. NOT ANYMORE! Just with the one hour session I had with Amanda and my new horse Joe, who was an answered prayer, so much trauma was released and the connection I made in just that one hour with my horse was the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had! Amanda is very sweet, super patient and I thank God for sending her to me! I can’t wait to learn more from her!”

— Emily W. (Rewild Harmony In Motion)

“Amanda recently did a Tarot Read party at my house and it was AWESOME! Every single guest who had a read was blown away by the accuracy of Amanda’s spiritual gifts of not only reading the cards but tapping into the energy of each individual in a way that was safe and beyond helpful. Amanda is authentic and so fun she has a way with people that is kind and straightforward, she helps you to understand your life in a way that makes sense and is so helpful.
I had one of the guests come up to me at the end of the party with tears in his eyes thanking me for hosting the gathering because it had helped him in way
that he had never been before. He received clarity in a confusing time in his life and felt so much peace.
Guest after guest came to me sharing how impactful the read was for them.❤️
And it was just SO much fun!!
Amanda is truly an incredible person who is sharing her gifts to better all who interacts with her. Thank you Amanda, keep shining!”

— Jana D. (Party with Tarot)

“Amanda makes it so easy to make you comfortable. The periodically checking on me throughout the process put me at ease. Amanda knows me only virtually so for her to know the information she shared about me, makes my skeptic self so trusting in her. She has helped me grow and shape me into the person I am becoming. I wholeheartedly love her as a person and can’t thank her enough.”

— Amanda J. (Energy Healing)

“I have had many readings & healing sessions with Amanda & she is amazing. Very supportive, caring & relatable. She has helped me in so many ways to gain clarity & peace.”

I’ve have had Guided Healing, Reiki, and Twin flame coaching as well-and I can’t begin to explain how much she has helped me grow and heal in my journeys!!! I can’t express how much I appreciate all the love and encouragement Amanda has poured into me!”

— Wendy F. (Energy Healing, Guided Healing, TF Coaching, & reads)

“Amanda was incredibly authentic, genuine, and down-to-earth. She truly cared about my horse and formed a meaningful connection with her. Amanda was able to read my horse’s energy with amazing accuracy—it was spot on! I’m so grateful for the insight she provided into my horse’s experiences. After just one session, I noticed a clear decrease in my horse’s anxiety. I couldn’t be happier!”

— Jamie W. (Rewild Equine Session)

“I had an incredible experience with Amanda!!!!! She drove 2 hours to do an in person session with my horse and a couple others at our barn. I wanted to go into this letting her know a little information as possible about my horse. When she got there all I told her is this is Boom she is a very sweet mare. 2 minutes into our session I started to cry because of how spot on she was verbalizing our relationship and what we mean to eachother. Boom instantly opened up to her energy, yawning, licking, and chewing throughout the session (emphasis on the yawning part, it was so interesting so see her release as much as we did!) She took her time with my horse and went through each part of her body. It was INSANE how accurate she was with the information. I resonated with 100% of the things she read from Boom. It was very reassuring as an owner to hear just how much your horse loves and appreciates certain things you do for them. I highly recommend recording the session in your pocket to review after. She had a LOT to say, far more than my ADHD brain could remember, so recording allowed me to pick apart what she was saying and relive the special moments❤️ I would give Amanda 100 stars if I could. I hope to do another session in the future!!”

 FAQs

  • Energy healing for horses is a holistic approach that works with the horse’s energy field to clear blockages, restore balance, and promote physical, emotional, and behavioral healing. It can be especially helpful for horses dealing with chronic health issues, performance challenges, or behavioral problems. The techniques used include Reiki, Shamanic healing, sound therapy, and intuitive guidance to help your horse regain a state of harmony and well-being.

  • Energy healing works by tuning into your horse’s energetic field, identifying areas of imbalance, and helping release stuck or stagnant energy. This process encourages healing, emotional release, and restores the natural flow of energy, much like how human acupuncture or Reiki can help people. Horses may show signs of relaxation, such as yawning, licking, or a softening of their eyes during a session.

  • Each session is individualized based on your horse's specific needs. During the session, I will connect with your horse’s energy, using techniques like Reiki, sound healing, and Shamanic practices. You may notice your horse becoming more relaxed or exhibiting different behaviors after the session. For the best results, it’s recommended to create a calm and peaceful environment during the session.

  • While it’s ideal for you to be present and engaged, you are not required to be in the room for the session. The healing process can be just as effective with distance healing, where I connect with your horse energetically from afar. I’ll send feedback and insights after the session to help you understand how your horse responded.

  • In a combined horse and rider session, both you and your horse receive healing and energetic support. This session works to clear any energetic blockages between you and your horse, helping both of you achieve a stronger bond, clearer communication, and a more harmonious connection. It can also help with rider anxiety, fear, or tension that may be affecting your partnership.

  • Animal communication is the practice of connecting intuitively with animals to understand their thoughts, feelings, and needs. I use a blend of mediumship and intuition to receive images, words, colors, and emotions from your pet. This helps you better understand behavioral issues, emotional responses, and any concerns your pet may have. It can be particularly helpful when making transitions or adjustments in your pet’s life.

  • Animal communication can provide insight into the root causes of behavioral issues by understanding your pet’s emotional state. For example, if a dog is acting out due to fear, anxiety, or stress, communication can help reveal the underlying cause, enabling you to address the issue more effectively and compassionately.

  • Yes! Distance communication is available for all animals. I simply require a photo of your pet and their name to connect energetically. Distance sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions, as energy knows no boundaries. After the session, you will receive a detailed report of the messages I received from your pet.

  • You can easily book a session by visiting our Booking Page or contacting me directly via email or phone. After you book, you will receive confirmation and any additional details needed for the session (e.g., if a photo is required for distance work).

  • I’m happy to chat and answer any questions you have! Feel free to reach out via email or phone. You can also schedule a free consultation to discuss your needs and how energy healing or animal communication can benefit you and your pet.
