glad you're here !

I'm Amanda.

Some parenting journeys are like taking a walk. Others are like free-climbing a mountain. Mine is the second. 

In 2021, I was diagnosed with PTSD from parenting at the same time as my middle child moved into autistic burnout. Healing from PTSD while parenting a child through burnout is the hardest thing I've ever done, and it also transformed my life. Together, my children and I developed low-demand parenting, a life-giving method in the midst of incredible challenge.

I’m a late diagnosed autistic adult, and very proud of it. I’m terrible at small talk; I never leave a party gracefully. My soul comes alive in deep places, deep in nature, deep in contemplation, deep in conversation. I treasure solitude and feel fully alive while woodworking, reading, walking at the beach, and snuggling my kids.

I began coaching parents in low demand parenting because I love seeing weary parents experience the ease and joy of letting things go. I thrive seeing others come to life.
