About Amanda

Meet Amanda

I’m a lifelong horsewoman, Army veteran, mother of two wild-hearted boys, and the founder of Amanda’s Healing Touch — a space where horses and humans meet in truth, softness, and connection.

My horsemanship began at the age of three with English riding and lead-line shows, evolved through Civil War reenactments and Western trail riding, and eventually became something deeper — a recognition that horses aren’t just animals we work with.

They’re mirrors. Messengers. And sometimes, healers in their own right.

After years in emergency medicine and healthcare, I chose to return to what had always held me — the quiet wisdom of horses and the healing that happens when we learn to listen.

My work blends horsemanship, energy work, and intuition into a grounded, heart-centered approach that meets each horse and human where they are — no pressure, no performance. Just presence.

While much of my work centers around equine healing, I also offer sessions for companion animals and people — for those seeking deeper emotional insight, energetic release, or reconnection with self through subtle but powerful shifts.

Whether we’re in the round pen, the living room, or a quiet field, the goal is the same:

Connection that feels honest. Healing that holds. And space to remember what trust really means.

My Healing Journey

My healing work is intuitive, layered, and always evolving — a blend of modalities and life 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 out of alignment, unsure how to break free from cycles that no longer served me. It wasn’t until a deep spiritual awakening cracked me open that I began to uncover the truth —That my gifts had always been there… just waiting for me to feel safe enough to use them.

Through my own healing, 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. Not because it’s perfect. But because it’s real.

It brings me deep joy and honor to walk beside others — helping them reconnect, soften, and return to themselves… often through the sacred 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 & Heart-Led Connection

My approach is rooted in both ancient healing wisdom and practical 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.

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

I use a blend of Reiki, sound healing, shamanic techniques, medical intuitive insight, and equine body language to gently clear blockages, regulate the nervous system, and restore balance. But it’s not just about energy — it’s also about relationship.

Empowering Horses & Their Humans

This work isn’t just for your animal — it’s for you, too.

I help you understand what your horse is holding, feeling, and trying to communicate. I support you in deepening your intuition, building energetic awareness, and reconnecting with your horse on a level beyond training or behavior.

Whether it’s a sensitive horse, a performance partner, or a beloved pasture mate, our goal is the same: more trust, more peace, more presence.

Why This Work Matters

Animals carry stories in their bodies — just like we do. And when we create space for those stories to be heard and healed, transformation happens. Sometimes it’s subtle: a softer eye, a deeper breath. Other times it’s dramatic: a shift in behavior, performance, or the bond you share.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all method.

This is a partnership — one where I support you and your animal in finding greater harmony, clarity, and freedom.

Because when your horse feels safe, seen, and supported… so do you.

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.”

 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.
