Kia ora, Amanda here


Spiritual Director, Integrative Enneagram Practitioner, Supervisor, Speaker, Presenter, Researcher, Artist, LGBTIQ+ Ally, and Theologian,

Research, revisiting scripture, and listening to people's lived stories have led me to be a faith-full person and an ally. At heart, what I can offer any person of faith is the opportunity to know and see themselves as God knows and sees them.

Sometimes, we may feel like we have hit a brick wall spiritually. Other times, one's reality and theology no longer match, and we know something might need to shift; we might need to unlearn, let go, and learn anew. Perhaps these moments are holy invitations – invitations out of something or invitations into something new.

Testimonials

Hear what clients have to say

"Amanda holds a safe space where curiosity and honesty are welcome guests, and shame and judgement don’t stand a chance of survival. With just the right balance of reassurance and challenge, she supports a process of coming more alive, more myself, surer of my belovedness. All without having to leave my humour at the door or BS my way through it all with super ‘spiritual’ words. Phew."
Spiritual Direction
Emma C - Auckland
"Amanda is a skilled, well-read, intuitive advisor/motivator/mentor. I mean, ok, I could be a bit biased because I'm a client, but even with my rose-tinted glasses removed, it's easy to see the depth of her holistic approach. Amanda's level of integrity would include her being able to admit where she is unable to assist in her work in personal consultancy - knowing this, I can recommend her with ease."
Spiritual Direction/Mentor
Ang G - Auckland
“Amanda is a thoughtful, quiet, sense-maker who has honed reflective listening down to a fine art.  Her craft is holding space (and a few signposts) for a pilgrimage through the great unravelling – for the things you were so sure of, and now you’re not …for the armoured boundaries that created safety but are now in the way of you becoming who you want to be.  Her gentle provocation dares and equips you to wrestle with the apparent disconnects in your journey of faith.”
Spiritual Direction
Allan G - Auckland
"After many years of disconnect, Amanda has helped me discover a God I never really knew in the first place. Amanda’s approach is gentle, compassionate, insightful & judgement free. She is one of the wisest women I know and I’m grateful to have her help navigating my path back to God."
Spiritual Direction
Nikki S - South Wairarapa
"Weaving the enneagram in with her training as a spiritual director, Amanda created space for me to explore my spirituality and enneagram type during a significant life transition. Her background in theology, ministry, spiritual direction and her own pathway of life transition in ministry allows her to come alongside with wisdom and empathy."
Enneagram
Naomi H - Northland
"One thing that struck me about my sessions with Amanda was her deep understanding of the intricacies of the Enneagram types and the possibility for the system to have profound impact on personal growth. With patience and skill, Amanda helped me recognise the patterns and behaviors that had been holding me back, as well as the strengths I had yet to fully embrace. She intuitively knew when to gently nudge me out of my comfort zone and when to provide a supportive space for reflection."
Enneagram
Bronwyn H - Auckland
“I highly recommend Amanda as an enneagram coach and spiritual director. She creates a supportive and nurturing space, allowing me to explore my inner self and understand my enneagram type with clarity and to trust in the process. I am grateful for the positive changes she has helped me achieve on my journey so far”
