About Me
My name is Dr. Amanda King, I am so appreciative and humbled that you have taken the time to learn about me.
I have been happily married to my soul mate for 23 years, and we are blessed with two beautiful children. I have always felt a strong connection with people's energy and have relied on my God-given intuition to guide me through life's ups and downs.
However, when tragedy struck my family, I was faced with not only losing my father (age 68, who suffered from strokes and kidney failure) in December 2022 but also my son (age 22, who had been a type 1 diabetic since he was 8, passing from Diabetic Ketoacidosis) a month later in January 2023.
During my own grief journey, I was seeking a more holistic approach to help me cope with my grief, rather than opting for traditional mental health counseling. So my search began to find the spiritual counselor that my heart and soul felt like it needed.
After my first session with a Spiritual counselor, I saw the advantages of spiritual counseling and reiki therapy, and I felt as if I had a little spiritual peace after the first visit. Through the help of my spiritual counselor, I was able to self-evaluate, learn about myself and my grief as an individual, and walk away with coping skills that over time have given me peace and hope. I could authentically be me but also survive the greatest journey.
The profound experience inspired me to pursue a degree in Spiritual Counseling. Through my grief journey, all I could think of was how I could share this holistic approach with others. Spiritual therapy takes a holistic approach to healing, focusing on improving mental and emotional well-being by exploring your spiritual beliefs, values, and practices. I assist people in discovering meaning on the journey of life, minimizing emotional trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting, illness, grief and loss. We can also explore issues such as identity and purpose, guilt, shame and forgiveness. Through a combination of traditional talk therapy and integrative somatic and spiritual modalities, the goal is to help you access your highest self and gain an understanding of what gives your life meaning and purpose. By integrating thoughts, emotions, physical symptoms, and spiritual insight, you can grow through your pain, increase self-love, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, and develop compassion for yourself and others. Recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and spirit, spiritual therapy aims to provide a path to healing and growth by honoring and including spirituality in the therapeutic process.
My counseling sessions not only facilitated my healing journey through grief but also allowed me to develop my intuitive gifts to support the self-healing of others. Collaborating with a Spiritual Counselor who regards the human experience as a sacred spiritual practice can profoundly support your transformation and growth during life-changing events, spreading balance across the mind, body, and spirit while healing our hearts.
