The Low Demand Course
Next group starts on January 25, 2026.
Welcome to low demand...
where shame, fear, and exhaustion melt away, and you finally start thriving.
This course is for both parents/caregivers and professionals who work with families.
The Low Demand Course includes custom features for each cohort, even as we learn the method together.
I'm a...
You've tried everything... and it's just not working.
You’ve dropped demands.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve poured every ounce of yourself into your child —
and still the frustration, the burnout, the daily struggle continues.
THIS IS ME.
You're not just
EXHAUSTED.
You're
SCARED.
Scared your child is falling through the cracks. Scared you're messing everything up. Scared it's too late to heal the damage - to your kid, to their siblings, to you.
- Maybe school was a struggling.
- Maybe homeschooling is too.
- Maybe the sibling trauma is real, and the chaos feels intense.
- And maybe no one in your life truly gets it.
But you don’t want to just survive this.
You want real peace.
Real joy.
Radical acceptance.
And a parenting path that actually honors your one wild and precious life, too.
HEAR FROM REAL PARENTS WHO'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES:
“I am not exaggerating when I say that Amanda's course changed my family's life.
We were already implementing a low-demand lifestyle after reading her excellent book, but the chance to go deeper with Amanda herself has helped us truly understand and connect with the why of all the changes we are making. And it has made SUCH a difference for all of us in terms of prioritizing trust and connection and focusing on healing our nervous systems.”
- Julie
What you're really seeking...
1. A peaceful home --
where laughter flows as freely as conversation, a sanctuary of safety for every member of the family
2. Restored trust --
real practices to heal the bond between you and your kid, no matter how old they are or how much has happened between you
3. Connection to community --
a place where people just get it, where you don't have to explain yourself, where you are safe and seen.
TELL ME MORE.
That’s what we do inside this course.
It's time to move from surviving to thriving, no matter what parenting throws your way. Not by fixing your child, but by releasing the pressure, healing your nervous system, and rediscovering what really matters.
THE LOW DEMAND COURSE
The revolutionary course to move from theory into daily practice — with structure, support, and spaciousness.
As Seen In
WHAT IF ONE STEP COULD TRANSFORM EVERYTHING?
“My daughter was in an almost constant meltdown, with small glimpses of regulation. She was violent and abusive to her brother and to us – it was an incredibly rough time.
Fast forward to now, just a handful of months later of truly implementing Amanda’s Low Demand Parenting and violence is WAY down, sleep has become accessible and we have been able to start homeschooling. It has been a complete 180 turnaround.
Working with Amanda has been a transformative, life-giving experience.”
— Rachel, mother of two
What You'll Walk Away With:
A deeper trust in yourself and your kid
You’ll stop second-guessing every decision and start feeling grounded in your own wisdom — even when others don’t understand your path.
Radical acceptance that actually works
Not “anything goes,” but “this is what matters most.” You’ll learn to hold firm boundaries without relying on control or punishment.
The strength to live from your own conviction
You’ll feel clear about your choices, confident in your parenting, and less reactive to judgment from others — including your inner critic.
A feeling of true belonging
No more wondering if you’re the only one struggling this hard. You’ll find community, validation, and solidarity with people walking a similar path.
Here's How We'll Get There - Together:
Module 1: Welcome & Fundamentals
Module 2: What is a demand and what truly matters?
Module 3: Listening to our kids & dropping demands
Module 4: Getting proactive so we can meet our own needs
Module 5: Making home safe
Module 6: Advocate powerfully
Meet Your Guide.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
I’m an ordained pastor, Duke grad, low-key woodworker, and former National Trampoline Champion (yep, seriously). I’m also a mama of three amazing kids, a late-diagnosed Autistic adult, and a survivor of parenting PTSD.
For two soul-crushing years, I had no roadmap for parenting my PDA Autistic six-year-old.
I was drowning—and everyone kept handing me the same tired advice:
More boundaries. More consistency. More calm.
Just be firmer. Just be gentler. Just try harder.
None of it worked. And worse, it fed a toxic lie:
If your child is struggling, it’s your fault.
This lie stole my joy and my connection with my kids. So I stopped trying to fix my family and started healing it.
And that’s how The Low Demand Method was born!
Today, hundreds of families are reclaiming peace at home—not by pushing harder, but by dropping demands, practicing radical acceptance, and choosing connection over control.
It’s not perfect. Some days are still so hard.
But the shame spiral is gone. My kids are thriving. I have energy again.
And most importantly—I get to enjoy my wild, beautiful life.
I want that for you, too.
Finally get the full support you need to turn
“survival” to “THRIVING.”
And here’s what truly sets this program apart!

“Amanda’s work helped me to see how I needed to care for MYSELF. That I’m not broken, lazy, or incompetent — just different.
If I could write a thousand testimonials for her, I would.”
— Lindsay B.

WHAT OTHERS
HAVE EXPERIENCED
“Tears are literally streaming down my face. This life is so hard.
I wanted to tell you that your course is literally a balm to my soul.
Your understanding of the needs of our kids AND our needs is so comforting. It is so easy to forget that we, as the parent, have needs too. I love the way you give us permission to not have to be super parent every minute of every day. I also love how you explain that by taking care of ourselves we really are taking care of our kids. Many people give the 'air mask on the plane' scenario, but you really make it real.”
- Stephanie, mom of two, from a note shared with me on week 2 of the course

FAQS
I struggle with courses. How much time is required?
Do I need to have all the modules finished each week? What happens if I can't make one of the LIVE Q&A sessions?
What's the deal with the 2 logins?
I’ve read so many parenting books. What makes this different?
Can’t I just try to piece a plan together from reading your book or watching your IG? Why should I join Low Demand Masterclass now?
I feel like we have the type of situation that no one else has. What if my child is too far gone or I'm too burnt out to learn anything?
Is this only for parents of neurodivergent or PDA kids? We don't have a diagnosis, and so I don't know if we even need low demand.
I saw you were formerly a pastor. Are there religious materials in the program?
Is my family welcome here? Are you Queer affirming?
“Amanda is so authentic in all that she brings to the course. She is extremely knowledgeable and is a great model for using the skills she’s teaching.
She is able to hold the community with kindness and grace so that parents/caregivers feel seen, validated, and held in this journey."
-Kelly, parent of 2 in England
