“I’ve come to know Amanda’s work independently and am in incredible awe of her integrative approach — body, mind, and soul.
Anxiety was an enemy and best friend for much of my life, and I passed it down to my youngest son. It’s like any disease — it catches. But, as with all challenges, it’s also a teacher. Amanda has been assisting my son with the shadows of anxiety through kindness and structure, bringing him from the brink of despair to a sense of incredible empowerment. He’s become a force to be reckoned with in his calling. And even more important, a man with a heart of joy. I’ve come to know Amanda’s work independently and am in incredible awe of her integrative approach — body, mind, and soul. When anxiety no longer sews these aspects of us together, our spirit can. We become who we are. And that’s possible because of Amanda’s keen insights, structure, process, and genuine compassion.”

“Amanda Huggins is a force and a gift. She has the unique and keen ability to translate incredibly heady information into easily digestible bites without diminishing the power and potency of the message. Consider Amanda the ultimate gateway to graduate level material for the masses. The best part? She does it with aplomb and an engaging, witty and no nonsense edge. What’s not to like? Super smart, sharp and sassy yet completely honest, real and kind Amanda has the ability to reach the next generation without sounding preachy or maternal, and she has the ability to reach and speak to high level intellectuals without sounding snobby and disconnected. I am SO looking forward to her continued work in the world.”

“I’ve worked with a countless number of practitioners, to varying degrees of success, but identifying one that is relatable and rooted in an actionable approach to changing both thoughts and behaviors has proved difficult. Amanda blends many of the most effective tenets of traditional therapy (including CBT) with the dynamic and spiritual elements of Universal Law to work with clients in a progressive and unique way. This blend of the rational and the spiritual are a breath of fresh air for anyone looking for a better, more holistic approach to mental health.”

Client Testimonials
“Prior to working with Amanda I was overwhelmed – I had so many emotions yet didn’t even know where to start in processing them. She really helped me be able to identify patterns that don’t serve me in their tracks in order to prevent the spiral and anxiety I would often feel about events in my life. It feels amazing to have someone that is fully in your corner and dedicated to your growth. Amanda has held space for me to be unfiltered and work through the shadowy thoughts. That is how the real change occurs.”

“Working with Amanda has guided me into this space of being able to take a step back and observe situations, my feelings and how and why my body is reacting in ways that I didn’t know I could do before. It’s funny because I’m doing more things now that push me past my comfort zone (things that would normally throw me into a shallow breathing panic attack) than before working with Amanda, but the anxiety and shallow breathing I once felt seems so much smaller of an issue now. “ knew I needed someone to guide me, ask me the hard questions, make me feel comfortable about being vulnerable, someone to keep me accountable, provide me action items and create a toolkit to help me when she’s not around. Working with a coach was so much more than just talking about my feelings and then wondering, “okay so… what now?” Amanda also helped me realize that this work is like a marathon, not a sprint. I’m really grateful to have Amanda coach me through this time of my life and gosh, I just can’t help but think what the world could be like if everyone had an anxiety coach (like Amanda) at every stage of life #daydreamingforabetterfuture”

“Since working with Amanda, I feel more in control of my life. As we worked through dynamics in the realm of my career, relationships, and self image I realized that “control” comes from loosening the grip and not being afraid to let go. Though that sounds simple, the acceptance of that statement takes work. It requires you to have a level of honesty with yourself that removes the facade to get to the bottom of the issue. Through the various exercises and journaling, Amanda has really helped me be able to identify patterns that don’t serve me in their tracks in order to prevent the spiral and anxiety I would often feel about events in my life. It feels amazing to have someone that is fully in your corner & dedicated to your growth. Amanda has held space for me to be unfiltered and work through the shadowy thoughts. That is how the real change occurs.
I felt like a lightbulb went off. So many things – relationships, my feelings, reactions & perceptions of reality – were coming into focus and making much more sense. It’s not an easy process, but it sure is worth it. After working with Amanda, I felt like a had an emotional toolbox to move through life with a bit more confidence, grace and compassion for myself and others.
It felt Like my entire emotional body was cracking open: vulnerable, proud, empowered.”

“As a business owner with several employees, I found myself in a frequent state of almost debilitating anxiety, which in and of itself comes with the territory. But when you couple in anxiety in several aspects of my life, you get very little done and accomplished in a timely matter. That’s where Amanda enters. Not to sound cliché but I had literally tried everything, medicine, psychiatrists, therapists, self-medication and nothing did the trick. Regardless of the fact that Amanda is a peer of mind, I still always felt at ease and comfortable sharing everything with her and the reasoning behind that was something I never would have thought that I personally could have related to. It was her energy, which was palpable in a way I never thought possible. Anyone could go on and on, but honestly the greatest thing that I took from my 3 month course with her was the cold hard truth that anxiety will never simply cease to exist, a foreign concept to me, so instead of beating myself attempting to eradicate it, she reset my entire life it seemed and miraculously got through to me by teaching how to become self aware in the present.
As a business owner, I very rarely invest in myself personally, but doing so on Amanda was a decision that I’ll be thankful for everyday for the rest of my life.”

“Working with Amanda Huggins was everything I didn’t know I needed. We met at a pivotal time of my life, as I was focusing on healing the emotional and mental blocks linked to an autoimmune diagnosis I had received when I was a teen. Knowing that I needed support in navigating these somewhat challenging parts of myself, I crossed paths with Amanda through a mutual friend and upon our first meeting, knew that she would be able to help me elevate to the most authentic version of myself.
She honors her duality as a Coach whose responsibility is to keep you accountable and as a friend who will sit with you as you navigate some of the hardest and darkest parts of yourself. In that first year of working with her, she helped me break down so many character limits that I had created my entire adolescent life and I was able to move forward in my healing journey stronger, more grounded and at ease. She carries this same tenacity as a compassionate healer and a (now) dear friend. Anyone who crosses paths with her, is forever moved and touched by their experience. Before Amanda, I had hid under the rug many emotions that had built up over 20+ years. I wasn’t healing authentically from autoimmunity and I knew that emotional healing was the next phase – and I was terrified to step into that healing chapter. I felt completely disconnected from myself and couldn’t confidently say that I truly loved myself. Working with Amanda for over a year was the medicine that my body needed.

“When I met Amanda, I had just taken a job I hated, left law school, and felt so lost. I felt called to something greater, but knew I needed to do some inner work to rediscover what I authentically wanted for my future. I truly believe my life did a 180 for the better the moment I signed on to receive coaching from Amanda. She helped me see my potential and then act on it as I created my own intuitive coaching business. She held me accountable, and held me in my darkest moments. Her voice in my head still helps me to this day and has created permanent change in my life. Amanda is transforming the conversations around anxiety and mental health, making them more accessible and accepting for everyone. Her loving, spiritual, and tactical approach is changing the coaching world.”
– Lisa Battaglia, Coaching Client & Host of The Elevated Empath Podcast
“I have worked with Amanda in a few capacities: informally on my own anxiety; through collaborations with clients; & she’s been a guest on my podcast. I have participated in several of her workshops, listened to her on other podcasts & am an active participant in her online community, SoulCare. Amanda’s approach to anxiety is intuitive, adaptable & meets clients where they are. Her empathy & compassion combined with her own lived experience has created a unique approach to not just understanding & contextualizing anxiety, but also provides clear steps to seniority in the space of anxiety through tools, techniques & meditations.”

“I cannot express strongly enough how incredible it was working with Amanda! Our one on one coaching far exceeded any other experiences I’ve had with therapists. Her coaching and specialization with Anxiety management was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It truly changed my life (for the better)! She focused on what matters most, which is getting to the root of the anxiety and chipping away at it from there. Although our sessions have ended, I am now equipped with the knowledge and tools I need to manage my anxiety going forward. She is a shining light and brings so much joy and enlightenment to the process of intensive self-work. I literally cannot say enough good things about her and thank God every day for her.”
– Erin Buckley, Coaching Client
“I came across Amanda in the most unexpected of places, when I wasn’t even looking for her, and that moment changed my life. She helped me do the real work I needed to do to understand my anxious thoughts, and showed me the tools to manage them in my everyday interactions. Through all of this there were tears but also laughter, and most importantly, the understanding that this will be an ongoing process. There will be ups and downs, but I have the ability to create my happiness. Amanda has a true gift for connecting with and relating to people in a very real way. I am so grateful for my time working with her, and will take her tools and lessons as guides through the rest of my life.”
– Abby C. Coaching Client
“Amanda is a fantastic teacher and coach, who puts everything into a real life context which makes it easy to understand. You won’t get through a session without a few belly laughs, and you’ll find yourself genuinely looking forward to the sessions. What she teaches is real & really works. If you want to create magic in your life, let Amanda show you how.”
– Nicole L. Coaching Client
“I worked with Amanda over a series of coaching sessions in the fall of 2020. When I started coaching, I knew I was pretty unhappy with where my life was. Amanda helped me with both immediate exercises to triage daily anxiety and steps to plan for longer term fulfillment. Like any of us my life is a work in progress but going through the program really helped me not only focus but reaffirm the self esteem I needed to move forward. I was perhaps a little skeptical initially but engaged with an open mind and have been really happy with the outcome – in just three months, she empowered me to find a new, fulfilling job, relocate to the city of my dreams, and I even took a few months off in between to rest and connect back to myself. I would not have been able to do that without her guidance. It’s super helpful to have a neutral/helpful advisor at times and Amanda excels at this.”
– David W. Coaching Client
“Working with Amanda was life-changing. I was hesitant to hire a coach because of the stigma surrounding the industry, but after our first conversation I felt such a strong pull to work with her – and now I know why. Amanda’s understanding of anxiety and how the root of these feelings can manifest deep within us, helped me understand myself on a level I never knew possible. She did not empower me but guided me to step into my own power. She approaches these sometimes esoteric ideas in a real, honest and authentic way. None of that toxic positivity stuff. Amanda is genuine to her core and I wish I could talk to her everyday! She is an endless fountain of wisdom and insight and is the perfect conduit for these messages.”
