I'M AMANDA.

I am possibly not your typical person sitting in this seat of an addiction relationship coach… I was a corporate accountant through and through, I studied 4 years at university and then went on to get my professional certifications.  It was while in my corporate career and new Mum(Mom) life that I stumbled into a crazy world, where I was confused more often than not and slowly my life became unrecognisable and unmanageable.  But I was ‘smart’ so surely I should be able to figure it out by myself (because I daren’t speak to anyone about it… no way)  But I couldn’t figure it out… Whatever I thought would help, or what made sense to me, didn’t help, in fact it sometimes made things worse.  

I was at breaking point, and so I reached out for help.  And it took years of trial and error, “help” that wasn’t helpful, “help” that was judgement, “help” that felt really ick and shaming, “help” that caused more damage in my relationship… until I finally pieced together what worked and what actually helped.  

I know you are a capable and lovely switched on person.  I know you care deeply about those around you and I know you want life to be better than what it is now.  I’ve been there, and I can help.  All my program resources, tools and strategies are founded in kindness and evidenced based practices that are proven to help - I wanted that and I know you do too.

I am here because spouses and families deserve better support.  Support that actually helps.  And when spouses and families get better support, everyone wins.
